Great Private Tour
Edgar Tours have nice air conditioned vans and English speaking guides. Carlos took us to all the places we wanted to see. We visited the chocolate factory and learned how chocolate beans were harvested and prepared for making chocolate. We visited Pink Street and Umbrella Street and a beautiful old cathedral where we enjoyed some moments of quiet meditation and prayers of thanksgiving. We opted out of Monkey Farm since it was a 40 minute drive away. There is also a butterfly place to visit. If you’re interested, he can take you to a cigar making place and a rum making place. Carlos took pictures of us at the scenic lookout as well as other attractions. He also provided a bottle of cold water to us halfway through.
We thoroughly enjoyed Carlos! He was so considerate of us and our comfort and told us everything we wanted to know about Puerta Plata and its history. This tour is well worth the money. Great value and great personal attention. Ask for Carlos!

Awesome Waterfalls Hike
Our excursion operator arranged our meeting point at the port and we were easily able to locate them upon arrival. Our shuttle driver, Andy, was very polite and helpful and drove us to and from the trailhead. The hike to the waterfalls was about 45 minutes but was pretty easy because there wasn't a lot of elevation change. The waterfalls were beautiful and it was fun sliding down the waterfall into the pool of water at the bottom. The guides on the hike did a great job ensuring everyone's safety as folks jumped from the waterfall or slid down. On the drive back to the port, Andy took us by a restaurant where ate a delicious authentic Dominican Republic lunch. Would highly recommend this excursion!

A time was had!!
Our excursion was great from beginning to end. Transportation was on time for our pick up! Our tour guide was amazing and so kind! The pics taken by staff along the tour were just beautiful (a must buy well worth it)! My family of 5 enjoyed every moment! Book with them, you will not be disappointed.

Great!
The crew was wonderful and the whole afternoon was well planned. You need to follow the guide when snorkeling so it did feel a little rushed trying to keep up but also see the fish. You practice snorkeling in shallow water and then move to deeper water. Lunch was great and a neat experience.

A fun and muddy experience
This was a highlight of our trip, great excursion. It is a solid 20 minute walk to meeting point, then almost 30 mins ride in open air truck to buggy rental. I did not see any dead dogs like another reviewer mentioned in case you are worried. We went with our two teens and all had fun in a 4 person buggy. Wear water shoes or crocs, clothes that can get muddy. Def bring dry clothes including underwear to change into afterwards. It was very fun and felt very safe. Our ship opened gangway at 10, we met at 10:30, came back by 2:45pm for gangway up at 3:30. So it was a perfect use of our time. Highly recommend! Bring cash for tips and if you want to buy photo package or souvenirs. No food is provided. We ate a big breakfast beforehand and we were fine.

Monkeyland in Puerto Plata, D.R.
Visiting Monkeyland in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic was one of the absolute highlights of our trip! It’s such a unique, interactive experience—especially if you love animals. The squirrel monkeys are incredibly friendly and will climb right onto your shoulders, arms, and even your head if you let them! It felt surreal having them gently take food right out of our hands. The staff was knowledgeable and guided us the entire time, making sure both the guests and the monkeys were safe and comfortable.

Lots of walking
Our guide was amazing and we enjoyed every minute - until we have to walk to the lagoon. He said that he thought it was 200 meters. Actually, based on my Apple Watch it was close to a mile each way. My husband really struggled, even with his cane. We stayed at the first, smaller lagoon because we could not walk that far and all the way back. I strongly suggest they / you measure this exactly and make it part the the description- we would have picked a different adventure.

Book this trip!
This was a phenomenal day trip! We got to see so much of the country side and beautiful Dominican nature. Having lunch in a tree house and swimming in a waterfall we're my highlights! Our guide, Carlos, was energetic, very knowledgeable, and enthusiastic about sharing his culture with us. We learned so much! Jason, the photographer, was lovely to spend the day with and he took great photos! Definitely let him take your photo all day and the buy them at the end. Our driver, Jimmy was also great! This was one of my favourite excursions across multiple all-inclusive trips to Mexico, Costa Rica, and the Dominican Republic. Don't hesitate; book this trip! It was a good size group about 14. Be prepared for long drives though. If you are in Punta Cana, it will probably be 12+ hours. If you are in the Miche area, it will be quicker. There are some bumpy roads, so wear a sports bra.

Excellent choice
Impeccable, neat, pretty, excellent. My two kids and I had a blast , I am from Miami and I must say that this park is much better than Rapids at West Palm. It is a little expensive but for the service and experience is a must if your kids have never been to a water park.

Great time!!
100% worth it! Will do it again whenever i come back. Did not feel rushed at all. Guides were great and fun. The fish were out and about! The food was good. Only thing i’d recommend is skipping the shops at the end as you will be paying a lot more than you want. They will act like you are getting a good deal but the prices are pretty outrageous.

We had a great time on...
We had a great time on this excursion during our honeymoon! The boat was spacious, the drinks were delicious, and the vibes were great. You could party/dance on the main deck or just chill on the upper deck, which was nice to have options. The snorkeling was great - there were SO many fun fish! And the natural pool we stopped at after was great too - it was shallow enough to just chill in the water, and they had a floating bar which was so fun, and there were some people with monkeys and parrots and such walking around in the water. Overall we had a super fun time. They also provided transportation to and from which was pretty good. We would recommend this excursion to others!
