Health Tips for Tourists in Puerto Plata
Practical things to know before and during your stay on the Dominican Republic’s north coast.
Adventure activities carry risks
Cabarete is a world-renowned kite and windsurf destination. Cuts, scrapes, and minor injuries from water sports should be cleaned promptly and assessed by a doctor if they show signs of infection.
Bottled water only
Tap water is not safe for drinking anywhere in Puerto Plata. Stick to sealed bottled water or resort-filtered options. Avoid ice outside your resort — gastrointestinal infections are common.
Use insect repellent
Dengue is present on the north coast. Use DEET-based repellent, especially at dawn and dusk, and when visiting natural areas, waterfalls, or hiking trails. Long sleeves help in the evenings.
Sun and heat
Apply SPF 50+ sunscreen every 2 hours. Reapply after water sports. Stay hydrated — heat exhaustion is common, especially during outdoor activities in mid-day sun.
Cruise passengers
If you’re on a port day at Amber Cove, TravelDoctores can connect you with a doctor in minutes. You can receive your prescription digitally and pick up medication at a nearby pharmacy before returning to the ship.
Official health guidance
For official travel health advice for the Dominican Republic, consult the CDC travel page or your country’s foreign affairs portal before your trip.
