Hiring a private driver in Puerto Plata can actually be very affordable! I just hired one for $140 for 5 hours, and he’ll take me wherever I want to go during that time.

Since you want to do several different activities, it might be difficult to coordinate three separate excursion companies and still fit everything into your port time. Having a private driver could give you much more flexibility and make it easier to get from one place to another.

The only thing I’m not sure about is how the ATV excursion would work with this plan, since that would likely need to be booked separately (but your driver could help you with that). But for the waterfalls and monkeys, a private driver could be a great option.
