Hop aboard a former military truck and race through the countryside as a prelude to relaxing on the beach. The 6-wheel-drive vehicle is ideal for traveling through the rugged hills that surround Puerto Plata. You will not only enjoy beautiful views, but also get an authentic glimpse of the Dominican culture by pausing in villages to observe daily life. The residents will demonstrate how they hand-roll cigars using different blends of locally grown tobacco. You will also enjoy tastings of coffee and chocolate, two other products synonymous with the Dominican Republic. Coffee has been grown there since the 1700s, and despite the country’s size, it is one of the world’s largest producers of organic cocoa used to make chocolate and flavor other foods. Continuing on, you will drive to Chukka Ocean Outpost Coconut Cove for a hearty buffet lunch and to relax on the private beach that rims the cove.
