Your local team on the north coast
Apalo Tours is a Puerto Plata based operator specialising in guided excursions and private airport transfers across the Dominican north coast.
Apalo Tours is a family-run transport and excursion company based in Puerto Plata. What started with a single van and a promise — always be on time, always treat the guest like family — is today a fleet of modern vehicles covering airport transfers, cruise terminal pickups and guided excursions all over the Dominican Republic.
