Private Transfer from Amber Cove to Puerto Plata
Transfers from Amber Cove to Puerto Plata (or Sosúa or Cabarete): A definitive guide
Amber Cove to Puerto Plata cruise-port transfer
When your cruise ship docks at Amber Cove, your time ashore is limited. A private transfer from Amber Cove to Puerto Plata gives you a simple way to visit the city, enjoy local sightseeing, stop for shopping or lunch, and return to the cruise port with enough time before reboarding.
This is normally not a one-way airport-style transfer. For most cruise passengers, it is a same-day private transportation service: pickup from Amber Cove, time in Puerto Plata or nearby areas, and return to the ship before departure.
Cocotours can arrange private transportation for couples, families, small groups and larger cruise groups who prefer a flexible day ashore rather than joining a large bus tour or negotiating transport after leaving the terminal.
