Zip line and waterfall tour
We had amazing tour guides, both Danielle and William we amazing there and back. For the zip line and waterfall tour ask for Carlos and Brayan. Both were hilarious and made the kids feel totally confident the whole time. I was traveling with a 11 and 8 year old and they got them to jump off the waterfall! Highly suggest this excursion over the cruise option. We had AC van, food and multiple cultural stops. The cruise option had an open top safari style truck without AC and no food option for more money… Go this route if you have the option.

Highly recommended
It was an amazing experience the hike up can be very challenging and tiring but once you get to the waterfalls it’s worth it. They also offer to have someone be your photographer for $55 if I remember correctly and the pictures come out beautiful. I highly recommend this excursion and we got back to our cruise with plenty of time to spare.

Great experience! Don't...
Great experience! Don't bring anything you don't want getting wet, because it will get wet! The hike isn't bad at all, but could see it being kind of difficult if you're not in ok shape. It's about 1 mile to the top with roughly a 400 foot elevation gain, then lots of stairs down to the river. Once at the river we slid down a few waterfalls and had the option to jump 20 feet into the water or climb down a ladder at the 2nd to last fall. Do the jump! You'll regret it if you don't! After climbing down the ladder at the last fall we walked back to the base which was mostly a flat hike. When we were there there were a couple of larger groups which required us to wait a bit, but it wasn't a big deal. Would certainly recommend it to anyone that likes water and a bit of adventure!

Good Variety of Sites Visited & Great Guide
Daniel was our guide. He was prompt in picking us up. He navigated the roads in a safe and courteous manner. He provided a wealth of information about Lisbon’s (and Portugal’s) history, culture and trivia. His communication style was easy to understand and comprehend. He provided an appropriate amount of detail without information overload- unless we asked more questions. He is the best guide we have ever had. The tour was well laid out. We started at the top - on a hill (Miradouro Da Senhora Do Fora) with an overview of the city and its history. We worked our way thru a variety of neighborhoods. We would drive from one neighborhood, walk a while, then drive to the next stop. It was not physically challenging. It was an overall great experience for the four of us.

As the Dominican Republic’s oldest city, you might think Puerto Plata excursions all revolve around history—but that couldn’t be further from the truth. While plenty of options delve into the past at the 16th-century fortress, many showcase the lush natural landscapes of the island. Tackle rugged terrain on an ATV adventure, go horseback riding on trails leading to waterfalls, feel your adrenaline levels soar during ziplines, and then cool off during snorkeling trips and sunset catamaran cruises.
