Taino Bay Cruise Port Walking Tour, Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic

Hello everyone and welcome back to my channel. In today's video, I will be taking you along as I walk around the Taino Bay Cruise Port in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic. Taino Bay is located in Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic. We were docked with MSC Gradiosa on our most recent sailing onboard Explorer of the Seas from Port Canaveral on December 8th 2025. This was our second visit to the Taino Bay Cruise Port within a year, and I do have to say that my mom and I really enjoyed this area. Taino Bay Cruise Port is a very, very nice cruise port and you will be pleasantly surprised like we were when we first stopped here in 2024. You will find your main duty free shop here as well as Diamond's International. You will also find some vendors offering different excursions at the entrance of Taino Bay if you haven't booked one through the cruise line. You will also see some kiosks selling local coffee and drinks, as well as clean restrooms to use as well. Once you go through the main duty free shop, you will find a nice resort style area with some small individual souvenir shops, a spa, a small aviary to visit, a coffee shop, a restaurant, as well as a couple of bars, a small beach and a pool. This area makes a great area to enjoy if you don't have an excursion. If you do decide to utilize the pool here within the Taino Bay Port area, make sure you bring a towel with you from the ship since there will be no towels for you to use. Also, make sure you either take cash or credit card with you since you can't use your seapass / set sail card here.
