Amber Cove Packing List: What to Wear and Bring Ashore
What to wear for a Puerto Plata port day
The north coast is warm and humid year round, so light, breathable, quick-dry clothing is best. Wear or pack a swimsuit under your clothes for water tours, and bring water shoes with grip for the Damajagua waterfalls. A hat and sunglasses are essential.
Day-bag essentials
Carry your cruise card, a passport copy, reef-safe sunscreen, a phone with offline maps, a small towel and small US bills for tips and drinks. A waterproof dry bag protects valuables on waterfall, snorkel and catamaran tours.
What to leave on the ship
Leave expensive jewelry, your full passport and large amounts of cash in the cabin safe. You only need a card copy and small bills ashore. Travel light so you can move quickly and keep an eye on your belongings on active tours.
