Ports of Call & Shore Experiences

At Amber Cove, a private cruise port on the north coast, guests can enjoy watersports, zip-lining, or a short ride to Puerto Plata for the historic San Felipe Fortress and the Teleférico cable car up Mount Isabel de Torres. Cabo Rojo and Cabo Rojo-Pedernales, on the southwestern coast, offer access to the pristine beaches of Bahía de las Águilas and the arid landscapes of Jaragua National Park, ideal for snorkeling and birdwatching. Catalina Island, a protected nature reserve off the southeastern coast, is a beach day destination for swimming, snorkeling in clear waters, and relaxing on white sand. In La Romana, visitors can explore the Altos de Chavón cultural village, a replica 16th-century Mediterranean village with artisan shops and an amphitheater, or take a boat tour to the nearby Catalina Island. Samana, on the northeast peninsula, is known for whale watching (January–March), hiking to El Limón waterfall, and visiting Cayo Levantado (Bacardi Island) for beach time. Each port provides distinct Caribbean experiences, from cultural excursions to natural wonders, all bookable through Costa Cruises’ shore excursion program.
