Cayo Arena Tours and Tickets
Off the northwest coast of the Dominican Republic, Cayo Arena, also known as Cayo Paraiso or Paradise Island, is a tiny sliver of a coral island and sandbar, barely measuring a 10th of an acre (a 20th of a hectare). Undeveloped, aside from a few thatched-roof huts, it’s surrounded by clear waters that are teeming with marine life.

A must do day trip in puerto plata
If I could I’d give it 10 stars. Great trip to the ocean “swimming pool” and sand dune. The drinks were flowing, awesome ceviche, and one of the best lunches. The drive and visit to the local village at the end was both scenic and culturally enlightening. The service was top notch by the crew!!!!

10/10 recommend
So nice. Guide was amazing at explaining Dominican history and where we were. The waters are crystal clear and recommend you do the snorkeling with the guide. I would say take some cash so you can tip by service since that’s where their main source of income is from. If you are going with you her children the waters do get choppy on the way back so maybe opt for the catamaran. But I think the speed boat was sooo much fun. On the way back we stopped and bought some souvenirs that once we got to our hotel we forget. In a couple of bourse I had communicating this and they had found our bag and are returning it to us. 10/10

Paradise For Sure!!
It’s completely magical place w/ approx 2.5 hrs on the island to swim, snorkel or just rest. The clearest water I’ve ever seen. Felt safe and very enjoyable boat rides to/from the “island” sandbar.
