5.0 Happy Dive Center (34 reviews)
- Awesome dive for all skill levels
Scuba & Snorkelling

Happy Dive Center is the best of Mom and Pop. Harry and Debbie are warm, funny, genuine, caring, honest. Just great. Harry is also tremendously experienced and very conscientious. No corners cut or shady practices here. And the price is right. In our family group of 6 one of us had 128 dives under her belt and certifications up to rescue diver. For three of us it was the second time diving and the first was 4 years ago. We ranged in age from 60 to 18. We all had a splendid time and saw lots of beautiful fish and coral. We couldn't recommend Happy Dive Center more highly. See more..

4.5 Playa Caleton (318 reviews)
- Deserves more than 5 stars
Beaches

This became our favorite beach on the North Coast. Very beautiful small beach with trees for shade and plenty of sunny areas. Water is crystal clear and very calm. We drove about 50 minutes to get there from Playa Laguna in Sosua/Cabarete and it was well worth it. There are small places for food & drink and bed rentals are $1.50 each per day & umbrellas are $2. The ONLY downside are the small tour buses that stop there sometimes for about 1 1/2 hours (about 20 people). Otherwise, it's a very relaxing beach with some snorkeling. Loved it! See more..
4.5 Laguna El Dudu (297 reviews)
- MY FAVORITE SPOT!
Thursday: 9:00 AM - 5:30 PM Spent More than 3 hours Bodies of Water • Points of Interest & Landmarks

Laguna Dudu is an exciting and mostly unknown paradise located on the north east coast of the Dominican Republic. It's surrounded by natural cliffs from which to swim, snorkel or free dive into refreshing clear waters. If you love adrenaline rush then try a zip line freefall from 10 meters. You may need to take a deep breath for this adventure. Once you finally takeoff for a subjective six seconds drop in thin air, and finish with a big splash. But it's also a spot worth visiting for it offers a cave to explore, a beautiful cove with other challenging experiences. There are stairs leading down to the water which enables smooth and easy access to both lagoons. With nature to explore and plenty of photographic spots. A visit to Laguna Dudu can easily be combined with two additional beach activities since it's located within minutes between two playas (beaches) Diamante and Arroyo Salado. Your next adventure awaits you. Come, explore and show us your favorite spot. See more..
