Despite my fear of heights, I enjoyed the ride up the cable car, it was such a beautiful view. Once on top of the mountain, it feels like a rain forest and has beautiful scenery, caves and a nature. We enjoyed our 2nd time here just as much as the first.

This was a highlight of our trip. The ride up in the cable car was stunning and the park at the top was beautiful. We could have taken much more time there having and admiring the peaceful scenery. The wait to go on the cable car took a little while due to tour groups and cruise ships but there was musical entrainment and a friendly vibe. Definitely go early to avoid crowds and catch a clear view

Definitely a must do when in POP - views were amazing. We enjoyed the botanical gardens and lunch at the restaurant onsite. You can even drive up which is a nice option. Be prepared for long wait to get on the cable car.

A wonderful ride to the top. Very inexpensive, great views, and seemed safe. I just wish they didn't pack as many people in each car. It is very tight shoulder to shoulder which is uncomfortable these days with illnesses abound. Other than that, have fun but allow at least 1 1/2 hours from the time you arrive to the time you get back to the bottom; you may have to wait for a car with room for the return trip.

We loved seeing the views, the cruise ship down below, and the beautiful flowers. The weather was perfect and we found it very restful. We enjoyed the music in the visitor center and the shops at the top. It was a great trip. $10 each.

The ride to the top of the mountain is wonderful, great views of the harbor. You could spend a couple of hours at the top, the botanical gardens are lovely, with more great views. Even on a misty day we enjoyed it!. There was an official looking person next to the ticket sales kiosk ($10 for RT ticket on the cable car) who pitched us $25 tickets and said we’d be asked for more at the top and each “attraction” charged seperately, thankfully we passed on that - some kind of scam, there’s no need to pay extra to see the gardens, small cave or anything else at the top.

Nice outing from the resort. Only took a few hours . Beautiful view and gardens up top. Felt safe in the gondola. Bring water and comfy shoes. This is not a tour for anyone with mobility issues. Lots of walking and stairs. I would also recommend going in the morning or later afternoon. It was very hot and surprisingly not much breeze. We hired Rene a taxi driver to take us there and back. He was great. He introduced us to Arthur a tour guide. He only gets paid in tips. Well worth it. He was informative, friendly and kept us on track. Over all a nice break from the resort . We also stopped at Umbrella street. There is chocolate shop part way up it. I suggest buying the chocolate tea and hot chocolate. It is SO GOOD.

Excellent place to appreciate the puerto plata town view, the cable car is always a nice experience I have done this activity three times and I always enjoyed the statue of Christ the redeemer is beautiful it gives you that Brazil vibes 😅 I totally recommend this place specially for those who loves the nature and beautiful views. And the prices is really affordable. Dominican has discount.

Wonderful experience. It's a beautiful mountain ride in the cable car. We didn't get out into the botanical gardens, it wasn't on our tour, but we did have a great time with the folks making our photos with the Christ statue behind us. It's worth visiting the area.

Puerto Plata was the last stop of our cruise and we booked this tour last minute before leaving home - we are so glad we did. Alex is a knowledgeable and well-spoken guide. He really gives you a sense of history, culture and community. The first part of the tour consisted of the city then our small group broke into two. Those heading for the beach had their own dedicated guide while we were lucky to remain with Alex for a private tour. The van took us through the countryside up to the mountain where there was a noticeable drop in temperature. Views were fantastic and the cable car ride was surprisingly smooth. Once at the bottom our driver Albert greeted us and drove us and Alex back to the cruise port. Chilled bottled water, rum punch and freshly picked bananas were offered as refreshments and we were very comfortable in the air-conditioned van.
