Welcome to Taino Bay, the vibrant cruise port located right in the historic heart of Puerto Plata. While the port itself offers great amenities, the real magic of the Dominican Republic lies just outside its gates. Booking your shore excursions independently with Chino POP Tours means you save money, escape the massive crowds, and enjoy a deeply authentic local experience.
From the exhilarating 27 Waterfalls of Damajagua and off-road Buggy adventures, to relaxing on pristine beaches or taking the Puerto Plata City Tour with the Cable Car (Teleférico), we customize the day to your ship's exact schedule. You will be picked up just outside the Taino Bay terminal gates by our professional guides and returned with plenty of time to spare before "all aboard."

Taino Bay Port FAQs
Where do I meet my guide at Taino Bay?
It's very easy! Since independent tour operators cannot enter the cruise terminal parking lot, you will simply walk out the main exit gates of the Taino Bay port to the street. Our representatives will be standing right there holding a sign with your name or "Chino POP Tours". It is a short, flat 3-minute walk from the ship.
Will I get back to the ship on time?
Guaranteed. This is our top priority. We plan all our shore excursions around your specific ship's arrival and departure times. We guarantee to have you back at the Taino Bay terminal with at least 1 hour to spare before your ship leaves.
What if my cruise ship itinerary changes or misses the port?
You have zero risk. If your cruise ship misses the port of call due to bad weather or an itinerary change, you will receive a 100% full refund for your excursion.
