Monkey Home Tour and Damajagua waterfalls in Puerto Plata.

Bill_E, Jun 2026

Waterfall junp/slides

The monkeys were cute but shy. Didn't need the rest of our first stop, but it was ok. Loved the waterfalls and the choice to jump or slide! It was a hike to make it to the top (gradual incline) but aged 7-70 we all made it no problem. Crowded initially but once we got to the first falls/jump it moved along greatly! Fun was had by all. Note:younger or less adventurous may struggle a little but the guides are an amazing and comforing help when needed! We'd certainly go again!

Elian was absolutely...

Elian was absolutely phenomenal! Communication pre-meet was great and made it really easy to find him. He took us all throughout the island, culminating at the Christ the Redeemer statue with engaging conversation, interesting historical stories, and a true passion for his home country. Air co digit ed vehicle with just my wife and I and a blank canvas for how to spend the day. If/when we go back to puerto plata, we will absolutely book with Elian and his family again

An Authentic Adventure We’ll Never Forget

This excursion was definitely one of the highlights of our trip! Meeting our guide was incredibly easy—they were waiting right outside the cruise port, and we took a short ride through the city to the ranch. Once we arrived, we were welcomed by a wonderful family, and the guides got everyone ready for an unforgettable ATV adventure through the countryside. The ride was beautiful, exciting, and definitely humbling at times! It was an amazing experience for both adults and kids. The waterfall was absolutely worth the trip. The views were stunning, and it was so refreshing to take a dip. The only thing I’d mention is that there were no life jackets available, so if you’re not a confident swimmer, keep that in mind. That said, I always felt safe because the guides stayed in the water with everyone and kept a close eye on the group, especially the kids. There was also a photographer capturing the experience, and we purchased the photo package. The pictures were emailed to us within 24 hours, which was a nice bonus. To top it all off, a delicious meal was waiting for us after the ride back. Honestly, it may have been the best chicken we had during our entire trip! I highly recommend this adventure to anyone looking for a fun, authentic, and memorable experience. We would absolutely do it again!

Great excursion. There...

Great excursion. There is a bit of a walk from the cruise ship and you will have to wait until the other guests arrive. YOU WILL GET WET! Make sure to wear something you are okay with getting soaked. Bring goggles and something to cover your mouth from the water and dust. Would DEFINITELY do it again!

Francisco is a Rockstar

I had some nerves about traveling out of the country alone with my tween aged children for the first time. I took time to research and plan our trip, as we wanted a more authentic Domincan experience than just the traditional resort or port stops. Francisco could not have delivered a more amazing experience. From fair pricing and amazing communication, to sharing insights about the city's history, culture, economy, and traditions, we had an amazing adventure to a beautiful part of the world. Top notch service all the way around, and memories that will last a life time. Mi agradecimiento y mi gratitud son infinitos. Gracias.

Super fun experience!

Our driver was great! Aribel was safe and pointed out sites to us along the way. He was always there waiting on us and even went out of his way to take us to a stop not included, which was amazing. Such nice people at every place. The waterfall was amazing; the guide (Moreno) has been doing it for 30+ years! The hike up was strenuous, and had to take breaks, but they are very patient. Hire a photographer to get fun pics of you! Once you get to the waterfalls, the hike is worth it! Lunch spot was delicious, we enjoyed the authentic DR meal. Totally recommend this experience, our family had an amazing time.

Zip and Dip

You have to walk outside of the Amber Cove gated grounds to find the Edwins Travels van for pickup. It was easy. AND they were VERY prompt to return us by 4pm. Sádē, our driver was great. He spoke no English but was adept at using Google translate to communicate. He took us after lunch to a small local shop for cigars, coffee and souvenirs which we loved, near the drop off point outside the gate. The "Zip and Dip" was well worth it and a fantastic fun excursion for us 2 -70 yr olds and our 2, 17 yr old teen Gkids. The lunch with local food on-site at the Falls HQ was fantastic. We bought Presidente cervesa's (22oz), ice cold and excellent beer.

Amazing guides with hiking adventure and fun on zip lines and waterfalls

Wanted to give an honest review of my experience and things I wish I would have known: 1. From cruise port was about a 20 minute walk - people are helpful along the way to make sure you are headed in the correct direction - it was basically a spot on side of highway where they were allowed to pick up (but it was safe) 2. Van with 2 tour guides was very good - nice and cool and bottle of water given upon arrival 3. Once you get to the location to do excursion you will leave all belongings in the van (they were safe) but really you are encouraged to not take anything with you! Our money and everything was safe. You get helmet and life jacket there and are able to use the restroom real quick 4. Water shoes - I would suggest good hiking water shoes - not the cheap ones - so thankful I saw this on a post and got newer ones with support! the hike is rocky and unsteady a 5. The hike! I was a little taken back by the hike - it wasn't just a hike it was A LOT (like around 20'ish) flights of stairs. I was not prepared for this and am currently out of shape to be honest - so this was more challenging for me. I made it but a few things: Be sure to hydrate prior to this excursion (this would have helped me) and I didn't eat much for breakfast and that didn't help either > Thankfully it was shaded so the blazing sun was not on us - which was good!. The guides are VERY understanding and helpful. At one point I felt like was going to throw up and the guide pulled off a tree branch and was fanning me! It was very nice and helpful - I ended up being fine - 4. zip lines - safe and good - 5. Waterfalls- the slides for waterfalls you MUST do (all except one) I mean you have to do them , there is not an option to bypass this -but it was totally worth it and better than I expected! The last waterfall was one you had to jump in or could take the stairs down, but this was the only one you had that option 6. Lunch - our group felt lunch was ok - none of us were crazy about our meal that day 7. Plantation stop on the way back was informing and we weren't there very long - little shop and restrooms there if you need to buy something or use restroom. **You can pay $100 (they took Credit Card) to purchase a guide to take pics of your group through the excursion and they give you a flash drive with everything on it- and we chose to do that! I feel like this is well worth the money.

Half-Day Buggy Guided Adventure for Amber Cove and Taino Bay

Shawn_B, Jun 2026

Dirty fun!

An amazingly fun, but filthy adventure. The staff was so friendly, especially the "paparazzi". We got over 700 images of our trip, for a very reasonable price. The jungle stop was very neat, getting to try coffee, chocolate, cigars and mamajuana was great. Just be prepared for a hard but friendly sell from the workers for souvenirs. And to finish it off, a dip in the ocean to wash off the dirt, with the cruise ships in the background was nice. There were lockers, showers, and dressing rooms, as well as a food truck and bar at the headquarters with reasonable prices and tasty options. Our favorite excursion on our trip.

Amazing tour! Beautiful sights & excellent food!

Fantastic experience!! We cannot recommend this excursion enough. We were very lucky that they waited for us as our cruise ship was late arriving into Port. It was a small group of just five of us and we had a fantastic time. The fall was an amazing experience. Be prepared for a strenuous hike, but it was great. Bottled water was provided. However, the crown jewel was the food at the local restaurant. It was absolutely delicious. Our tour guide was amazing.

VIP Experience

My wife and I had a phenomenal time on this experience, and it was everything that we hoped it would be and then some! Since there were no cruise ships arriving in to Puerto Plata the day of our excursion, it felt like we had our own private experience. Willy was our guide, and he was incredible. It felt like he gave us a VIP experience and made sure that we had a great time. The ATV was very fun to drive, and we got to experience many great scenic sites along the ride. We rode through dirt roads, villages, and by the beach. The puddles and streams were super fun to drive through too, and we got dirty, which helped make the experience. We stopped at the Jungle for souvenirs and a tasting experience. The food and drink that we tried all tasted great, and we walked away with several reasonably priced souvenirs. We had a stop at the beach which gave us the option to get in and clean off some, as well as enjoy some beautiful scenery. Once we got back to the place, they had shower facilities and changing rooms that were excellent for getting cleaned up. There was some slight confusion about our ride back to the city that was included in what we paid for, but Orlando (supervisor) made it right, and he ensured we got back safely. Overall I would give this a 10 out of 10 and highly recommend this for others to do!

Susan_S, Nov 2025

An exhausting day of fun and exploration with the best guide

The hike was strenuous but worth it. Wear water shoes. You'll be glad you did. Our guides were so helpful and kind. The perfect day in the DR! Hiking thru the rainforest, sliding and jumping from waterfalls, riding buggys thru town, on the beach, and thru mud plus a great tour of a cocoa farm. Such a great way to spend the day - totally exhausted afterwards.
