All Cabarete Tours & Excursions in 2026 - page 6

Amazing experience from start to finish! My boyfriend and I absolutely loved it. We stopped in Puerto Plata on our cruise and Javier and his team were very timely. We actually got to the meeting spot 15 minutes early at 8:45am and Sol was already there and found us before we found her. We also met up with the photographer Germán on the way to the car and then Javier drove us to the falls--if it is your first experience on Dominican roads hold on tight LOL. Once at the entrance to the waterfalls national park, only Germán continued with us as well as two guides who worked at the park (Flacko Mambo and Alexis--if you get the chance to have them as your guides you will be in great hands). The hike up to the waterfalls is a bit long but we enjoy hiking so it wasn't too bad at all, they will keep telling you it is only 5 more Dominican minutes haha! We loved the waterfalls and it was such a fun and cool experience, definitely wear good water shoes with a rubber sole because it will be rocky. After the waterfalls they took us to a buffet lunch which was so delicious. Germán came around after we finished eating to ask if we wanted to buy the photos/videos he took of us and it was $60 for the two of us (not sure if pricing is different for solo travelers or families) and he accepted payment in multiple ways. We paid via paypal and he also helped us connect to the wifi since we didn't have data lol. I would definitely recommend getting the photos that they take of you since we didn't bring our phones and it really isn't recommended to take any of your valuables with you (you can keep them in the car). We did have our phones in waterproof cases but opted to leave them in the car and are so glad we did because one guy at the waterfalls with a different tour group lost his phone in the water after it broke off the lanyard. HUGE shout out to our guide Alexis though because he dived under and was able to find it but you might not be so lucky if it happens to you (someone in our group lost their apple watch, rip). In case you forget to take something off though, our guide Flacko had a waterproof bag you could put your stuff in before we reached the waterfalls so that was also nice. After lunch we were driven back and at the port by 1pm with more than enough time to spare before our all-aboard time. All in all, the experience was super active and fun, the included lunch was delicious and filling, and the cost of the tour + photos + tips we gave still cost us less than if we booked the excursion with our cruise so we are very happy about that. Javier and Sol were great, and we especially loved talking with our photographer Germán on the hike back. Oh I forgot to mention on the hike back as well, Alexis picked a ripe cacao pod and cracked it open for us to taste the fruit inside so that was also a fun first experience too! Thank you guys so much for giving us such a great experience!!!

Fabio Reynoso was absolutely amazing. He took his time with us, was patient, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. He made us feel comfortable, welcomed, and helped create a wonderful, happy, and memorable experience. His excellent service and positive attitude truly stood out. I would highly recommend him to all the people I know back in the States, and I hope others have the opportunity to experience the same outstanding service he provided.

Edgar was amazing!! His tour was outstanding. He took us to see the wonderful parts of Puerta Plata which included a visit to a fort, rum distillery and walked us through the streets to see other sights. He allowed the time and space to enjoy these sights. I would highly recommend booking this!! Our day ended with a nice lunch at a restaurant and a gift from Edgar. This was my FAVORITE excursion.
