Tracy_N, May 2026

Awesome Adventure

Visitor team was amazing and everything ran as scheduled. Thr hike to the falls took about 30 minutes and was up many flights of stairs. We got out workout in for the day. Do not wear Jewerly or take phones and watches!! So many people lost them in the falls. The water is strong and moving fast .

Zip line and waterfall tour

We had amazing tour guides, both Danielle and William we amazing there and back. For the zip line and waterfall tour ask for Carlos and Brayan. Both were hilarious and made the kids feel totally confident the whole time. I was traveling with a 11 and 8 year old and they got them to jump off the waterfall! Highly suggest this excursion over the cruise option. We had AC van, food and multiple cultural stops. The cruise option had an open top safari style truck without AC and no food option for more money… Go this route if you have the option.

If you are in Amber Cove, This Is The Tour!!!

Before I say anything else, I must start by saying this felt like a private guided tour by the best tour guide and driver we have ever had!!! Jonathon was kind, knowledgeable and made us feel like he was taking care of his family, not to mention that he was our own personal photographer. Tami was just as kind and helpful and drove her beautifully clean Honda Civic with amazing skill and safety. We always felt safe and cared for. ***And now to the waterfall. It was a good hike to get there, but soooo worth it. We have been to many waterfalls in many countries but we have never experienced any thing like this. We felt like we were in Jurassic Park. Beautiful plants, fun slides, crystal clear water and options to do 3 meter jumps. It was an overall perfect tour.

7 Waterfalls in Puerto Plata + a Delicious Local lunch.

Lucia_W, May 2026

Highly recommended

It was an amazing experience the hike up can be very challenging and tiring but once you get to the waterfalls it’s worth it. They also offer to have someone be your photographer for $55 if I remember correctly and the pictures come out beautiful. I highly recommend this excursion and we got back to our cruise with plenty of time to spare.

Half Day Puerto Plata City Tour and Monkey Home Visit

Nicola_S, May 2026

Monkeying around in the DR

We had a wonderful experience. Only problem is now I want a Spider Monkey of my own, they were so sweet and fun to watch. Leury our driver was very accommodating, knowledgeable, and an enjoyment to show us around. We never felt hurried, he made sure we were always comfortable. It was an extremely warm day, and he let us take our time looking around the old church and plaza while he walked to pick up the vehicle to make sure if was cooled down when he picked us up. He even showed me how to mambo. :) Highly recommend him as a guide.

Monkey Home Tour and Damajagua waterfalls in Puerto Plata.

Ben_B, May 2026

Great experience! Don't...

Great experience! Don't bring anything you don't want getting wet, because it will get wet! The hike isn't bad at all, but could see it being kind of difficult if you're not in ok shape. It's about 1 mile to the top with roughly a 400 foot elevation gain, then lots of stairs down to the river. Once at the river we slid down a few waterfalls and had the option to jump 20 feet into the water or climb down a ladder at the 2nd to last fall. Do the jump! You'll regret it if you don't! After climbing down the ladder at the last fall we walked back to the base which was mostly a flat hike. When we were there there were a couple of larger groups which required us to wait a bit, but it wasn't a big deal. Would certainly recommend it to anyone that likes water and a bit of adventure!

10/10 experience, super fun

The tour was absolutely amazing! Darwin was our tour guide and he was very welcoming and friendly. He was super knowledgable about the culture of Puerto Plata and DR. He had great energy and took us great places. He was even great with taking pictures for us. Our favorite part was walking downtown and seeing all the beautiful colors of the city and the Rum Tour. Darwin did a wonderful job and we had a great job. We appreciated him so much and had so much fun. Would absolutely recommend taking this tour of the city and especially with Darwin!

Edgar Entertainment

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.

Darcy_C, Apr 2026

My husband and myself...

My husband and myself really enjoyed this excursion, they were incredibly friendly and helpful, Oscar, Liam and another gentleman whos name I cant recall sadly, were great company and extremely competent. We felt very safe and well taken care of, highly recommend! There are locals offering sales and hair braiding at the beach but theyre very friendly and not aggressively pushy, just there trying to make a living. Beautiful beach and the trail through the woods was very clear to navigate. I was a first time rider and despite how inexperienced i was, they were kind and patient!

AMBER COVE-TAINO BAY Super Buggy Tour

Dax_G, Apr 2026

50 year old guys loved being muddy boys again

This was an amazing excursion and we booked privately (here). If you did through the cruise lines it was about 2x what we paid. We all received the same services. The only hiccup is to make sure you know what port you are arriving in and where they begin. There was some confusion but they took care of us and made it all come together. It was a rush and bit of a panic but it was 100% worth the activity. We were sloppy and covered in mud. Every bit what I hoped it would be.
