Cab to Puerto Plata from Amber Cove

[nbsjcruiser]

I tried asking this on the DR board - no response as its a fairly quiet board. I'm wondering if anyone has taken a cab ride to Puerto Plata from Amber Cove to do a self guided walking tour? I'm debating doing just that. I love doing my own thing at stops but was curious about the cost of the cab and the safety of Puerto Plata.

 

thanks

Puerto Plata itself is approx 20 min via cab. I have only been to AC one time, and it was raining the whole time, so a number of people elected to stay on the ship. However, when I was walking around the cruise terminal, there was a tourist corral with a number of taxis waiting. So I am sure if you really wanted to explore Puerto Plata it wouldn't be that hard to get there.
