Small offshore islet with tame rhesus/green monkeys, turquoise Caribbean water and palm-fringed sand—great for intimate wildlife portraits, behavioral shots, and colorful seascapes. Accessible only by short boat trip from Puerto Plata; tours run mornings and afternoons. Visit early morning for active monkeys and softer light, or late afternoon for warm tones and calmer sea. Expect salt spray, sand and crowds on peak tour times; bring cash for boat operators and protect gear. Respect animal rules
