The Taino Bay Welcome Center is the hub area where visitors experience the first contact with live entertainment, the Keloke Bar lounge, a reception area, pre-booked tours, the Diamonds International store and the Dufry Duty free store.
Strategically situated to offer a panoramic view of the surrounding bay, the center is more than just a checkpoint; it’s an introduction to the rich tapestry of experiences awaiting visitors to Puerto Plata.
If you are taking a shore excursion and you will take a cab or bus right away, you can walk right past the center of the welcome center and find the parking area and entrance connection to the main street from here.
