Puerto Plata Bar Hoping By Party Trolley

OVERVIEW

Ride through Puerto Plata on a vintage trolley and pass landmark attractions between stops at the city’s liveliest bars. The fun will begin the moment you step aboard the colorful, hand-painted trolley and kick off the party with an ice-cold Presidente beer, a refreshing pilsner brewed in the Dominican Republic. Once the trolley takes off, you will drive along the waterfront malecón and see the iconic Fortaleza San Felipe, a 16th-century Spanish-built fortress that overlooks the bay. Stops along the way will include the Victrola gastropub, a bar on Umbrella Street – a pedestrian walkway named for the brightly colored umbrellas hanging overhead – and the Macorix House of Rum. After a behind-the-scenes tour of the rum museum, you will enjoy a sampling of Macorix’s premium spirits. They may include a golden añejo, a spiced rum and a double-distilled white rum. The cigar experience on Kite Street will be just as immersive.
