Paradise Island, or Cayo Arena, is just a hop, skip and a jump across the sea from Puerto Plata. Spend the day lazing about on white sandy beaches, visiting mangroves and Ensenada Natural Pool, snorkelling amongst thousands of rainbow-coloured fish, and enjoying life the Dominican Republic Way. This is island heaven at its best.

To get to this paradise island right in the middle of the ocean, you'll bump across the waves by speedboat to reach its delightful shores. Inviting pristine beaches with powder-soft sand and turquoise waters are your base for the day, and what a day it'll be.

You'll snorkel through crystal clear water with a guide to explore a myriad of tropical fish and live coral reefs, and venture into the island's lush mangroves. And to top it off, you'll also get to visit Ensenada Natural Pool before resting up over a delicious lunch with drinks included. Bliss.
