rebecca_b, Jul 2026

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an amazing experience!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an amazing experience on the 7 Waterfalls tour! Our guide, Aribel, did a fantastic job leading the group. He was friendly, knowledgeable, organized, and made sure everyone felt safe while still having a great time. The waterfalls were absolutely beautiful and so much fun! Jumping and sliding into the cool water was exciting and the perfect reward after the short hike up. Every stop was an adventure. The local lunch afterward was delicious. The restaurant was clean, welcoming, and the staff was very friendly. It was a great way to experience authentic local food. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Puerto Plata.

Great time!!

We had a fantastic time! While we started a little late waiting for another group to arrive, the team made us feel right at home from the start—I even got to relax with some authentic Dominican coffee while we waited, which was an incredible touch! The ATV ride was so much fun with beautiful views along the way, and the waterfall was absolutely spectacular. The crew was super friendly, hilarious, and made sure we made it back to the cruise ship with plenty of time to spare. The photo package was 100% worth it!

Awesome experience

This was an awesome experience!!! All the guides were super cool, fun and most of all safe. We had a great time!!! You will get wet, so wear something like a swimsuit. Lastly, I made a mistake on my reservation and Samuel was so accommodating!!! He was responsive and helpful! I would definitely do this excursion again if I return to Dominican Republic!

Perfect Day Exploring

Carlos was energetic, knowledgeable, and friendly! He was also prepared and anticipated our needs. Cold water was automatically given to us throughout the trip. He took photos of us and gave us time to enjoy each stop. The vehicle was comfortable and accommodated 6 people perfectly. We traveled with three adults and three teens.

Private Tour in Puerto Plata and La Playa

Rita_H, Jul 2026

Great Private Tour

This is a private tour just for your party with a driver/tour guide. Joseph was our driver and he is the best. We traveled with my mom in a wheelchair and he took us to all the places where it was easily accessible for her to participate. Joseph took his time at her pace so she could enjoy Puerto Plata. We were able to see all the sights and go to a Dorado beach and enjoy the view. Recommend this tour for anyone traveling with someone with mobility issues as they cater to your needs. Thank you Joseph for a wonderful day. May God Bless you and your family.

The best tour company for the waterfalls.

We had an absolutely incredible adventure at the Damajagua Waterfalls with DR PRIME TOURS! While there is a scenic hike up to the falls, it is completely doable because the guides pace everything perfectly and take plenty of helpful breaks along the way. My daughter had the absolute time of her life, and the entire staff was incredibly professional, warm, and friendly from start to finish. To top off an already perfect day, the local buffet food was so incredibly delicious—I will definitely book with them again next time we are in the Dominican Republic!

AMBER COVE-TAINO BAY 5 Zip Lines 7 Waterfalls + Locale Food

Rick_V, Jul 2026

Exciting day of adventure in Damajagua Falls park!

A great day at Damajagua Falls and zip lining. Our driver Fernando and “Paparazzi Chocolatte” were excellent hosts. Pickup at Taino Bay cruise port was easy but be aware that it is about a 15 min walk from the ship to the Gate 5 pickup area. A 30 min drive in a well appointed and cool van led us to the Damajagua park. We were soon outfitted with life jacket, harness, helmet and water and we were on our way. The hike up to the Zip Line area is strenuous in places. There are built in break spots and the group travels at a moderate pace. Zip Lines were fun and fast, and the suspension bridges were cool. But the best part of the excursion is the Falls. The rock slides are short but quick, the water refreshing and cool. Lots of cheering on for the timid in the group and everyone ended up having a great time. A 15-20 min walk back to the entrance drops you at the restaurant where a nice Dominican lunch is served. Fresh hot food and good flavors of the local culture. 39 mins later back on the bus toward the port, you stop at a small plantation where we got schooled on several Dominican facts about the wildlife, plants, animals, and coffee, cocoa, and tobacco farming. We got a demo of fresh cigar rolling, a taste of wonderful Dominican coffee (hand harvested, dried, ground and brewed on site), and a couple shots of Mamajuana, the local spirit made from herb root, honey, rhum and red wine. We also learned about Larimar, the local stone from which beautiful jewelry is made (and sold on site). A couple hundred bucks later and we were well equipped with Hemingway cigars, jewelry, and some mamajuana. Another 20 mins and we were dropped back at the port. About a 5 hour total excursion, it was well worth the price and we’d recommend it to anyone enjoying adventure, agriculture, and local Dominican food and culture.

Carlos was an amazing...

Carlos was an amazing tour guide, very nice and knowledgeable. We got caught in an unexpectedly heavy rainstorm and he did his best to still keep the tour going and make it fun and interesting. Would absolutely recommend this tour and if I get back to Puerto Plata I will book with Carlos again to hopefully get a drier version.

Gerson the Great!

Gerson was a fantastic guide! He was knowledgeable, very interactive with our family of four, and an overall exceptional person for us to spend time with enjoying the culture, sites, and kindness of Puerto Plata. He was so accommodating to us…he picked us up from the Air bnb where we were staying even though the address location wasn’t initially on the pick up and drop off. Our family thoroughly enjoyed the experience!

Dominican Adventure

We had an incredible time! Communication was excellent from the start. Aribel was on time to meet us and kept the day running smoothly. Directions to get to the meeting point were clear. Aribel was extremely helpful with everything from storing our bags away to helping us get water shoes and everything else. Travelers should know this activity is a little strenuous. 45 min uphill with a bunch of steps so if that’s an issue you might find this a little difficult. Also, we planned this last minute so we didn’t have water shoes and just rented some. Make sure you bring water shoes with a sturdy bottom. You are going to be walking on rocks uphill and downhill. It felt like I was walking on rocks with bare feet for a big part of the downhill hike but this was completely on me since I did not really research before I went. Even with that though we had an incredible experience. If you like adventure you will really enjoy this. Something else to note is you can bring your phone for photos if you have a waterproof case but I would recommend hiring the photographers they have available to follow you. Our photographer was Jadel and he was very nice and captured a ton of photos that we now have as great memories. We also loved the monkeys. They were adorable and I wished I could take one home with me. Not sure if they were kidding but they had two monkeys separate from the others and they told us they were training them to play basketball and go on a zip line so maybe when you visit you will be able to see the monkeys perform.

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

Possibly the most fun shore experience ever!

You will get wet, you will get muddy. If you're okay with that, you will have a blast. They have lockers, a couple of changing rooms, and showers, recommend bringing a change of clothes. Don't bother with your cell phone's camera. Even with a cover, too much mud to bother. They take lots of pictures/videos throughout the trip. We did purchase the package at the end. Price was a little high, but good value, and no regrets. Would highly recommend!

AMBER COVE-TAINO BAY Super Buggy Tour

Kevin_L, Jun 2026

Great time!!

Great adventure to see areas you never see. There are not a lot of times where you go full throttle in the biggie, but several times to get wet. Visiting the native town was a great experience and the beach was a nice way to end the day. Staff was amazing. They were informative and attentive the whole time. I am a taller guy, they refused to let me stay crammed in the buggy and brought a bigger one out for us to use to make it more enjoyable.
