Victoria_D, May 2026

Very enjoyable!

Four of us took this excursion(my husband, 2 teenage kids (18 and 15 y.o.) and myself)). Usually it’s difficult to please everyone in the family but all 4 of us enjoyed the experience a lot! The meeting place was easy to find. The bus was comfortable. Waterfalls were great! Bring your own water shoes if you don’t want a rental opinion. Our shooter guy did a great job taking pictures and videos for us. The lunch was yummy and we liked the local beer.

Amazing Experience!

We had an amazing unforgettable experience! We went to the monkeys first and had our own private encounter. Then we went to do the hike to the falls and rock water slides… both activities were awesome!! Our drivers Aribel and Yeuri were super nice, friendly and knowledgeable. They always made sure we were comfortable. We would recommend them 💯👌 We are from Ottawa, Canada.

Good tour

The tour was great. Edwin and his partner transported us in an air conditioned van. Very comfortable. We made a lot of stops especially for shopping. Some touristy shops were a bit pushy but nothing new at these cruise stops. Well worth the $55. Smoked a free just rolled cigar. That was worth it alone for me. I definitely recommend.

Alex_S, May 2026

Loved It! Loved it! Loved it! can i go again!

Loved this excursion and such friendly staff, well worth the money paid and would highly recommend this, It is up to you how you want to drive the buggy, either go fast through those big muddy puddles or slowly so you don't get soaked, not sure my wife was too happy as i took the first option and soaked her and the guide done the gentlemanly thing and put her in his buggy so i could carry on going mad with it.

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.

An awesome time!

Amazing! Our guide Juan Carlos was excellent- so kind, and he made sure we felt completely safe and comfortable. We saw so much of the beautiful culture in DR, and got a real tour of the coast and took the jungle way to Los Canas. A thrilling experience, every moment was golden and pure fun! Thanks so much for an incredible time- this is a great company!

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!

Amazing, Wonderful, Knowledgable and Fun

Diana was not only knowledgeable, but also incredibly kind and clearly very experienced as a tour guide. Everything ran smoothly, and we always felt well taken care of throughout the day. What made the experience even more special was the group we were with. Everyone was so friendly and fun, and the entire day was filled with laughter, learning, and enjoying great food together. Overall, we had an absolutely fabulous time. I would highly recommend this excursion to anyone visiting Puerto Plata—it was the perfect mix of culture, history, and unforgettable moments.

Great team on the ground....

Great team on the ground. The tour was so much better than the cruise offered. Transferred via a private van to the Falls. No sitting around waiting for busses. We had a fast pass ahead of all the cruise company tour people. We were truly treated like VIPs. We made it back to port with no stress and time for a few beers before sailing. Edwin Tours is top notch. No more cruise company tours for us. This is the way to go!!!

Don't pass up this experience

IT WAS FUN!!!! I apologize that I'm terrible with names but the host was amazing! He was a great conversationalist and immediately put me at ease with his laid back demeanor. This was my 1st time riding on ATV so I a bit apprehensive but that time quickly passed. The tour guides all spoke great English and were just fun to hang around. We explored plenty and didn't have any issues they couldn't resolve. On of the best stops on the tour was seeing how Mama Juana drink was made. 😉😋
