Exciting Time
Very fun experience. The slides were very fast due to recent rains. My wife got skin abrasion on elbow from rocks. Make sure travelers are in good physical condition. No need to wear sunglasses or carry anything since most of the trip is in the shade. Free lockers, helmet, and life vest provided by the park operators. The water was cold and refreshing on a hot day. Lunch provided by tour operator was very tasty. Tour operator provided timely communication before the tour.

What a thrill!
No need for sunscreen it's all in the shade, under the canopy of the foliage. There is quite a hike up to get started but I was able to take my time and didn't feel rushed. They do give you a water bottle. There is also a nice big bathroom where you can change and lockers. I would recommend getting the photos. They are good quality and really capture the day. Thank you Mona, Luis, & JB for taking care of us.

Well worth the money!
Really good activity, especially for the price! The team were incredible and very accommodating, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Each stop was very well organised and well worth the trip. The communication from booking to pick up to drop off was impressive and well orchestrated.

Great experience - educational, fun, and helps with reef regeneration
Large delicious meal comes near the end of the excursion time. The snorkeling masks were of good quality - well fitting. I didn't feel badly that I had forgotten to bring my own. Fun and very attentive staff. The briefings on corral reef death and regeneration were interesting and imporant. 5% of what we pay for the excursions is given to help restore the reef.

El Dorado Water Park
I had an excellent time at El Dorado Water Park in Punta Cana. The park was clean, well-maintained, and offered a great variety of attractions for both relaxation and excitement. The slides were thrilling, the lazy river was perfect for unwinding, and there were plenty of areas to just sit back and enjoy the atmosphere.
The staff were friendly and helpful, which made the experience even more enjoyable. It can be a little confusion because most of the workers does not speak English,
Overall, it was a fun and memorable experience, and I would definitely recommend El Dorado Water Park to anyone visiting Punta Cana.

Great experience!
Picked up right outside of the port and had a great time. Got a little history and information on the way there and felt very taken care of through the process of checking in and getting started.
We do wish there were more jumps and slides but it was a lot of fun!
Lunch was so delicious!

A fun and muddy experience
This was a highlight of our trip, great excursion. It is a solid 20 minute walk to meeting point, then almost 30 mins ride in open air truck to buggy rental. I did not see any dead dogs like another reviewer mentioned in case you are worried. We went with our two teens and all had fun in a 4 person buggy. Wear water shoes or crocs, clothes that can get muddy. Def bring dry clothes including underwear to change into afterwards. It was very fun and felt very safe. Our ship opened gangway at 10, we met at 10:30, came back by 2:45pm for gangway up at 3:30. So it was a perfect use of our time. Highly recommend! Bring cash for tips and if you want to buy photo package or souvenirs. No food is provided. We ate a big breakfast beforehand and we were fine.

Monkeyland in Puerto Plata, D.R.
Visiting Monkeyland in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic was one of the absolute highlights of our trip! It’s such a unique, interactive experience—especially if you love animals. The squirrel monkeys are incredibly friendly and will climb right onto your shoulders, arms, and even your head if you let them! It felt surreal having them gently take food right out of our hands. The staff was knowledgeable and guided us the entire time, making sure both the guests and the monkeys were safe and comfortable.

Jason is the best
Jason was amazing! We did a private tour and absolutely loved it. Expect a lot of driving but it’s definitely worth it. Jason made sure we had everything we needed and were well taken care of. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see the REAL natural beauty and culture that is the Dominican Republic.

Great time!!
100% worth it! Will do it again whenever i come back. Did not feel rushed at all. Guides were great and fun. The fish were out and about! The food was good. Only thing i’d recommend is skipping the shops at the end as you will be paying a lot more than you want. They will act like you are getting a good deal but the prices are pretty outrageous.

We had a great time traveling with panda. He made sure our trip was safe and awesome. Also, we stop at some awesome spots to experience the Dominican culture.
