My boyfriend and I went to Puerto Plata a few years ago. Those tours, like the monster truck safarri and jeep safarris are great! They pick you up at your hotel, give you lunch, and drinks (including rum and beer) on the tour.

My suggestion, don't book these tours through your hotel. It's expensive... almost $100 US per person. My boyfriend and I made that mistake for our first tour. We booked it with a lady at the hotel and it cost us like $180 for both of us. After that trip we wanted to go on more. We found this guy at the mall and bargined with him... he gave us 3 tours for $99 US per person. So the price that we paid for the first tour, we got to go on 3 different tours booking with the mall guy.

They are the same kind of trips that the hotel offers. You can choose which 3 you want, so it's not like a pre-packaged thing. We chose: (1) Jeep safarri which takes you through the countryside. You get to grind coffee, cocoa, see cigars being made and best of all... you go waterfall jumping! (2) dune buggy (3) paradise island which is a sand dune in the middle of the ocean and you go snorkling.
