7 Waterfalls in Puerto Plata + a Delicious Local lunch.

Nick_I, Apr 2026

Fun day in the waterfalls

Great experience. Much cheaper than the same excursion through the cruise ship. Easy to locate the driver at the very end of the port shops (15 min walk to this taxi area from ship). Driver was very friendly. We were a family of 4 and had another family of 4 riding with us. Comfortable passenger van with good AC. Drive is about 35-40 minutes. Once there you keep everything in the van. We had a backpack with towels/change of clothes/money, etc. that we kept in the van till the end. The driver will give you a bottle of water which will be needed. The only thing you need is good water shoes. They rent them there for $3 a pair if needed. I would also recommend a waterproof holder with neck strap for cell phone to take pictures. They give you option for $55 to take pictures of your group while there. They give you a life vest and helmet. The initial hike is about 45 minutes--all up hill. They take short breaks along the way but it is a tough little hike and you'll be sweating along the way. This is where the bottle of water is helpful. Once at the top you start to swim/slide/jump down the waterfalls (you may need a little courage at times). Once you get to the last one it is about a 20 minute walk back to base came (all flat this time). We changed and then were driven back towards the ship where we stopped at a restaurant along the way. Small, buffet style, typical Dominican lunch which we all enjoyed. Then back to the boat. I did tip our waterfall guide $20 and our driver a $20. The total trip took about 4 hours.

Family friendly fun and adventure

I would highly recommend this excursion!! Our tour guide Daniella, driver Marteen, and paparazzi/photographer Chocolata were the best!! They were friendly, knowledgeable and professional!! We booked this excursion with another family and we're the only ones in our tour group! Chocolata took great pictures of us the whole experience! While on the hike up to the zip lines he informed us all about the types of trees, land around the area and all about the Dominican culture. He was so funny cracking jokes along the way! He fully immersed himself in the experience with us while ziplining and sliding down the rocky waterfalls. He stopped us along the way to capture these priceless memories with photos of the families and friends. After the ziplining and waterfalls, we took a tour though the countryside to visit a real plantation where they shared more of their culture, coffee, rum, chocolate, cigars with samples! We would highly recommend tbis tour! Family friendly and for all ages!

Francisco was great - friendly, thoughtful, knowledgable and accommodating. This was one of the highlights of our trip. We all (5) appreciated his humor and gentle "beep beeps" to pedestrians. Highly recommend. He also took the time for follow up with us on restaurant recommendations which was greatly appreciated.

Tamika_M, Apr 2026

Awesome Experience

Had an absolute blast with the Choco Latte family. Daniella, Jonathan, Emil and Choco Latte were awesome. Daniella meet us outside of Taino Bay and guide us to our transportation. The bus had AC, was clean and well equipped. They provided water upon arrival. Daniella provided some DR facts during the ride and we listened to some DR music. The hike is about 30-40 min, but you get multiple breaks. Sliding down the waterfalls was exciting and awesome. This was my first time doing an excursion like this. My recommendation. Get some good water shoes with thicker soles, as you will be walking across rocks. It is best if you know how to swim because when you slide down the waterfall you will go underwater. You do have a life vest, so you will float, but knowing how to swim prepares you for how to react once you hit the water. We did 3 smaller water slides and one long one that was 18ft high. You have the option to slide or jump and they even have stairs to climb down. There were several kids that were terrified and climbed down during my excursion. I would definitely do it again. After we left the waterfalls, we had a Dominican lunch at a restaurant. The food was delicious. Next we visited a small farm were they rolled cigars. We had the mammajana drink, tasted chocolate and did a little but of shopping. Over all a really good experience. The excursion is just as described. Also, we paid a lot less booking through Viator instead of the cruise ship.

10/10 worth getting muddy!!

This was awesome!! Please understand, you will get gross!! I mean head to toe covered in mud and water, and it is so worth it!! The stop in the little town is very cool. The beach stop is good to rinse off. We are both in our 40’s and have a 17 and 13 year old, and said it was as awesome of an excursion that we’ve done!!

Tour of Lisbon in a Private Tour

Andrea_S, Apr 2026

A must do in Lisbon

Our city tour in Lisbon with João was exactly what we were hoping for. From the start, he tailored the experience to our pace, making sure we could really take in each stop without ever feeling rushed. We covered all the must-see sights, but what made the tour stand out was João’s perfect balance of knowledge and humor—informative without ever feeling like a lecture. One of our absolute favorite moments was visiting Pastéis de Belém, where we got to watch the famous custard tarts being made fresh. It was such a unique and authentic experience, and we loved supporting a family-run business with so much history behind it. Another highlight was unexpectedly running into João’s wife a few times while she was leading her own tour—it added a really personal, local touch that made the whole experience feel even more special. Overall, this tour was the perfect mix of sightseeing, storytelling, and local flavor. Highly recommend João if you want a relaxed, engaging, and genuinely memorable way to explore Lisbon.

Harper_B, Mar 2026

Great, relaxing views!

Such a beautiful activity! It was great to do right at the start of our trip to Lisbon. They pointed out all of the historic sites and statues, as well as some museums and shops, which gave us some new ideas of things to check out. It wasn’t very chilly at all (mid March) but they had blankets if anyone wanted some. There was a nice light wine with several refills and some chips as well. The guides (skippers?) were super friendly and funny as well!! Would definitely recommend for a relaxing early evening activity.

Do yourself a favor by booking Mr. Daniel your first day of your vacation. His love and passion of his city will enlighten you. He is very knowledgeable and kind.

Explore Lisbon by Tuk Tuk: History and Viewpoints

Leslie_G, Feb 2026

Great way to see the city and learn some history.

Our tour was right around two hours and that was perfect. We had Carlota and she was wonderful, knowledgeable and had a passion for the city. She was also patient as we arrived late due to a prior activity and traffic. We did this a couple days into our stay, but I highly recommend doing it early in your trip to get the lay of the land. The tuk tuks are a great way to get up and down the streets, and cover most of the key points of the city. Carlota also gave us a handful of suggestions on restaurants and so far we’ve had great experiences on those as well.

Lisbon Private Tuk Tuk Tour and Hotel Pickup: 2, 3, or 4 Hours

Wendy_W, Jan 2026

Go for the tuk-tuk experience!

This tour with Nadia, our guide, was awesome! We had limited time pre-cruise and got to see a LOT of the city AND we stopped for some local snacks, coffee, tours of some basilicas and churches. Nadia was attentive to what we were searching for and pointed out great places post-tour for us to shop on a short walk back to our hotel. We also had some excellent photo opp stops along the way. We really enjoyed the Portuguese history Nadia provided along the way - as a native, her insight and knowledge of the best ways to navigate a crowded city really maximized our time. Not a second wasted and well worth a 3-hour tour! Request her if you can!
