Provincia de Puerto Plata Videos

This short video was taken on Playa Dorada beach, just in front of the VH Gran Ventana Hotel, at sunrise one morning during our stay in November 2012.

This short video was taken from the summit of Pico Isabel de Torres at the upper station of Puerto Plata's Teleferico cable car in November 2012.

This short video was taken on Cayo Paraiso (Paradise Island) on my 33rd birthday in November 2012.

Cayo Paraiso is a small sand bar in the Atlantic Ocean, a 20 minute speedboat ride from Punta Rucia off the northern coast of the Dominican Republic.

We spent an afternoon snorkelling in the clear waters around the island, drinking Cuba Libres and eating fresh pineapple. As birthdays go, this was a great one!

This short video was taken during a speedboat ride between Punta Rucia and Cayo Paraiso (Paradise Island) in November 2012.

The 20 minute journey was a bumpy one; we felt every wave as we were tossed around the boat, bouncing up and down in our seats. Some of the passengers were too afraid to sit in their seats and preferred instead to cower on the floor between the seats!

The rough ride was certainly justified when we arrived at the beautiful sand bar of Cayo Paraiso!

Rancho Lorilar is a well established Canadian owned ranch in the Dominican Republic offering half day, full day and private riding for riders of all experience. It does not matter whether you have never ridden a horse, if you are an experienced rider or somewhere in between - we will have a horse that will be suitable for you.

Your safety is our primary concern, safety helmets are provided as standard, you will recieve a safety briefing and riding instructions before you commence your riding adventure.

This is probably the best way to see the real Dominican Republic!
