Full-day guided tours from Puerto Plata, Sosúa, or Cabarete range from $85 to $160+. If you drive yourself to Punta Rucia, local speedboat transfers start around $50 to $80.
You cannot access the island completely on your own, as boat transport is required. However, you can drive to Punta Rucia and hire a local boat at the shore instead of booking a full-day package.
Most standard packages include round-trip air-conditioned hotel transfers, the speedboat ride, snorkeling gear, a buffet lunch, and a brief tour of the mangroves. Read the specific inclusions before booking.
From Viator
67 reviews of the cayo arena tour on Viator
The reef fish were awesome, best snorkeling we experienced in DR. Highly recommend! Plus walking on the sandbar was very memorable. Overall a perfect day.
From start to the finish we had a great experience. The bus trip was exceptional, the guide as well. The 12 km speed boat ride was impressive.
The bus ride from Puerto Plata was a bit bumpy for some passengers, but the scenery through the agricultural land and small towns was a sight worth seeing. At the island, our tour guide lead us around the whole reef. Our group of 8 all enjoyed the day. Buying the photos and video was well worth the money. This is a trip everyone should do, bring your own mask and snorkel for a longer experience.
