This is a must book
What a fantastic experience. The tour guides baby monkey fish and kailen were very knowledgeable and hilarious! Transportation was great. The food and other parts were out of this world. The photographer aka (chocolatte) not his real name was hands down the funniest most entertaining one there. Treated my kids like they were his own family. I can give this excursion enough praise. Best one I've been on yet

Highly recommend this tour company!
Excellent tour company! Very professional. They reached out to us to confirm the booking and even noted that I chose the wrong day (our ship was not in that port till another day) and explained how to correct it. Then a week or two before our tour they reached out again to tell us what to expect and provide instructions.
On the day of the excursion, our group had just done a beach day the prior day and really wanted to do more sightseeing after the snorkeling instead of beach time. Richard was kind enough to make other arrangements for us and made it possible. Our guides for snorkeling were excellent and even provided assistance to a family member who panicked and started to struggle in the water. We all had a lot of fun and greatly enjoyed our added on tour experience with Franklin as he showed us around Puerto Plata plus a chocolate and an amber museum (as Richard drove us around). Before we were back on the ship we had even already received pictures from the snorkeling! Thanks to Lotta, Richard, Franklin, Alex and Elvis for an incredible time.

Great experience with the family
Fantastic experience. It’s a 45 minute hiking trail up with lots of steps and then down a lot of steps. This adventure is not for someone with any kind of disability. Or gets winded a lot. You also need good balance because once you’re in the water you’re traversing through rocky ground. Several water slides through the rock formations and two big jumps off a platform. You’re 20 to 30 feet jumping in. Once your back they fed us a wonderful buffet of food. The food was delicious. It wasn’t an afterthought. The local cuisine was delicious. Pile on the white rice and spoon in a lot of the beans on the rice. You’ll thank me later. We felt like some dessert after which isn’t included but the coconut ice cream was phenomenal. Great experience with the family. Highly recommend!

It rained during our...
It rained during our excursion unfortunately but our guide Edward was such a fun and knowledgeable tour guide. We had a great time and appreciate getting to see so much of Puerto Plata that we would have never been able to see otherwise. Also, we felt very safe and cared for! Definitely recommend!

Amazing
I did the waterfall and Dune buggy and it was the greatest experience of my life. The hike to the waterfall really isn’t that bad it’s like 25 minutes tops. The waterfalls are absolutely amazing. The water is ice, cold almost and our guide Alfredo was the best driver ever. The dune buggies was amazing you ride along the beach you go through little rivers. I will 1000% be doing this again

Fantastic
The whole experience was wonderful, the guides were all very helpful & friendly & the views were fantastic. We had a group of 6 and we had a blast. The zip lines were fun & the 6th zip had the best views. The trip down the creek bed on ATVs was a blast & the stop we made in town on the to try the local coffee, cocoa beans, mamawana & local fresh fruit was a great experience! Finally the horses were well behaved, though that ride didn't come with to much views and was rather short. It was fun to watch my kids light up with joy over the horses.
The lunch provided was also delicious. I highly recommend doing this trip if you visit Dominican we arrived by cruise ship at Amber cove & they got us back with a little time to spare.

First Time Snorkeler Review
This was SO much fun. I had never been snorkeling before, but the crew helped me learn and made me feel safe the entire time! They provided the snorkeling gear (and life vests for everyone) and you just had to bring a towel, sun block, and any additional snacks you wanted.
We sailed to two different snorkeling spots, and after snorkeling lunch was provided. Afterward we sailed for about 2 hours back to Puerto Plata. It was such a fun time, I would definitely do it again.

Paradise Island and Bomb Ass Chicken
This one was super relaxing, depending on where you are staying it could be up to a 2hr ride but when you arrive to the beach you are then taken on a boat to a sand bar (Paradise Island) in the middle of the ocean, takes 2 min to walk around the whole "island", they give you tasty fruits and snorkeling gear, really cool fish and some big ones too. You can also just relax on the beach. After you are taken through a mangrove where it's a maze to get to a pretty central point but the way out was the fun part, top speed motorboat whipping through the maze that is the mangrove till you make it put into the open ocean. Then they take you to a Dominican restaurant where I had the best fried chicken probably ever. They stop a cigar spot that makes the cigars and they talk you through the process. If you get the guide named Mendy you are in for an educational and fun experience my guy speaks 4 languages fluently.

From Someone With No Experience of Either (Ziplining or Playing with Monkeys)
This experience was an absolute blast. One of us had been ziplining before and the other hadn’t - and we both absolutely LOVED it. The tour guides that were with us did an amazing job at making sure we had fun and felt safe. The views were breathtaking and there was a photographer with the group taking pictures that you could purchase afterward. It was such a fun way to experience the country.
One of us was really excited for the monkeys and one of us was not HOWEVER it was SUCH an enjoyable time. The monkeys are little, friendly, and soft. Note, that during this portion they may be in your hands, on your lap, on your shoulder, and even on your head. The guide did a GREAT job in making everyone feel comfortable and informing everyone of what to do / what not to do. I absolutely would recommend this!

Great experience
Very good experience. Started with 7 waterfalls. Worth every penny. The views, the water and the fun slides. Ziplies were entertaining. Food was delicious and horse rides were calming. Also got to taste some hot chocolate and local organic coffee. I would recommend taking the tour with Daniel and Rosie.

Worth every penny
The entire trip was great, started with Damagajua falls, then lunch, followed by the ziplines, horseback and then ATVs.. nothing was rushed, especially the ATVs, we drove around the backwoods, rivers , and town.. literally the longest and best ATV excursion I've ever been on.. 100% worth every penny..

Absolutely do it!!
I can’t recommend this excursion enough! Our driver was EXCELLENT, smooth ride to the destination of the tour. The owner of the company explained everything to us to a T, what to expect what cost extra etc! Our ATV guide and photographer were amazing- great speed and combination of dirt, muddy, concrete and rocky roads. There’s also a stop at a local shop that is totally optional to you but we opted in and they were so lovely! They educated us on how their chocolate was made, allowed us to sample and gave us insight on the best purchases. Locally owned, too!! Then we got back and paid for our photos and headed into the garden of animals (also optional but we opted in to visit) and we got amazing photos with some of the birds/animals there! Amazing, excellent experience! Highly recommend!!
