What are people saying about Puerto Plata

Damajagua Waterfalls Adventure for Taino Bay and Amber Cove

Mary_M, Jul 2026

Hands-down amazing service!

This company was amazing! Pick up was a bit of a walk, but they warned us. So worth it! The entire excursion to the falls was amazing. They even sent a person with us to take photos at no charge (we tipped him well😊) and sent us almost 100 photos/videos within a few hours! I highly recommend the crew to anyone considering the Waterfall excursion!

Explore Puerto Plata's Best & Cable Car - Shore Excursion

Jenlyn_M, Jul 2026

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!

AMBER COVE-TAINO BAY 7 Damajagua Waterfalls + Locale Food

Jeff_W, Jun 2026

Memorable experince

I want to say it was awesome and truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. That said, be prepared, it's not just a waterfall tour. It's a fairly strenuous hike uphill through the jungle before you get to enjoy the waterfalls. The guides are great and give you water and frequent breaks to catch your breath. Our day was also very crowded, which took away from the experience a bit. Plan on spending about 4 hours total from start to finish. Overall, if you're up for some adventure and don't mind the hike, it's definitely worth doing at least once.

VIP DayPass: ATV, ZipLine, Horse Riding / Shore Excursion & Hotel

Chelsie_P, May 2026

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.

Catamaran Snorkeling All-Inclusive Day-Trip

Emma_S, Apr 2026

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.

Amazing Paradise Island + Snorkeling-Mangrove Tour & Locale Food.

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.

Monkeyland and Zipline Adventure from Puerto Plata

Emma_S, Apr 2026

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!

Puerto Plata Shore Excursion, Snorkeling tour & Sosua Beach Day

Karl_D, Mar 2026

Snorkel and beach

One of the things that I appreciated the most was Lotta's communication. She contacted us right after booking via the Whatsapp, so we had a way of communicating right away. We did this excursion while on a cruise. Getting off the ship is super hectic with tons of people trying to sell you their excursions, so it was nice that she was in contact with us from the time we got off the ship until we met our guide, so we didn't get lost of in another van!! LOL! Our driver and young men who took us snorkeling were all very professional and attentive.. I wish I could remember their names to give the props. They made sure to get us back to the ship in plenty of time, which took a lot of stress out of the day. Thank you for being so accommodating to our group.

Cayo Arena, Paradise Island Tour

Allison_M, Mar 2026

Look no more! Highly recommend for island and mangrove tour

Extremely responsive in updating us with a pick up Time from our hotel. Bus was pleasant with AC and not overcrowded. We traveled in a Monday not sure if this had something to do with that. Crew was fun and accommodating. Lunch had great options for all types of palettes. We had our own personal attentive videographer and photographer Matis during the trip and he even dropped off our finished edited memory chip at our hotel the next day! Overall memorable experience and would highly recommend with our tour guide Izzy!

Zip N Splash Adventure plus Horseback Riding

Dhruv_S, Dec 2025

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.

XDream Adventure: Damajagua Waterfalls, ATV, Zip Lines, Horseback Riding & Pool

William_D, Nov 2025

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..

ATV Adventure

Shea_D, Nov 2025

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!!
