Danielle_W, Aug 2026

Book this! You won’t regret it

This was the best experience ever! The guides were awesome! We got picked up outside cruise port so it was a bit of walk but worth it. They provided lockers for your things. They will get wet and muddy ALL OF IT WILL. Bring water shoes, cash and phones for photos. Leave the rest. Goggles are an extra $5. You make a couple of stops. First one they give you some island education and samples of tea, mamajuna, and fruit from the island. There are shops and drinks for purchase here as well. A bit pricey. But remember this is how they make a living. The second stop is at beach where I ran like crazy to jump in. Water was beautiful. There’s food and drinks for purchase here. The food is fantastic as always. Mofungo, ceviche, fresh fish. I will definitely do this again when I go back!

Great Tour Group

Our family of seven loved this trip, including an 11 year old and two eight year olds. It is a hard and hot walk up to the top, but the waterfalls are so worth it. Edwin Transfers was the best and answered all of my questions before the trip. I highly recommend them.

Jesus was wonderful. Great tour

We had a wonderful city tour today in the Dominican Republic with Jesus. He was incredibly kind, generous, and professional, and he drove exceptionally well. He even went out of his way to stop at the pharmacy for us, which we truly appreciated. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Dominican Republic. Jesus made our experience enjoyable and stress-free. We wish him a wonderful life and all the best!

Amion_e, Aug 2026

Worth the trip

excellent trip. First you will meet the guides , about 10 minute walk easy to find . Next is a trip into your destination about 30 minutes. next you will go the falls. Recommend durable water shoes it is very rocky, preferably one that you can walk in. You will walk approximately 15 minutes with graded elevation then to the falls. You can rent lockers or keep your things with the driver. You can also wear sneakers.

We celebrated our 15yr anniversary doing this, WORTH IT!

If your trying to decide which excursion to do this is the one. For the amount you pay for you get alot back. We traveled on Princess Cruise and it was a 20 min walk outside of the port to reach them. They were easy to find. The 3 people that helped were incredible. Once we got to the falls we all got life jackets and a helmet. We were grouped with others but that just meant we had many people to help each other. All of the guys that helped were outstanding. The walk in the beginning is strenuous so keep that in mind. There was 5 zip lines and all of the guys had a spot where they knew they needed to be. I didn't feel unsafe they helped everyone with the harness. After the zip lines we got to jump off 2 waterfalls and slide down several others. 1 jump was 15+ft high. Every group had their own photographer. We got 200+pictures and a few videos for under $100. After that we were given a lunch which was amazing. They had pop and water supplied for us. We went to a plantation afterwards they showed us a few animals how they made cigars and got to taste some rum and Mama-Juana and got to shop for a few mins before they took us back to the port. We were picked up at 855am and dropped off around 2pm. So we still had some time to shop in the port. Don't forget to bring extra cash to tip them they deserve it for the service they provided. We even tipped a few of the other guides because they helped us as well.

Monkey Home Tour and Damajagua waterfalls in Puerto Plata.

CHRISTINE_B, Aug 2026

An Experience Worth Doing.

This excursion was incredible!!! Family and I had so much fun. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for an adventure. Aribel and Yeury were great with communication. Starting with Damajua falls I would recommend water shoes because you will be walking 45 mins up a mountain and there will be slippery spots. You will have 2 breaks during the course of your hike. But it will all be worth it when you slide down those cool waterfalls. You have option to hire a photographer for about $55. Our photographer (Rainer) was wonderful, he took so many pictures during the course of our hike. We received a combination of 45 photos/videos on a USB card. Our next stop was Monkey village. The workers were very informative and organized with handling of the monkey's. You get to feed and interact with squirrel monkeys. They were so stinking cute!!! You have option to purchase photos as well....which we did. They were emailed to me within minutes of trip. Both of these experiences were amazing so glad I had opportunity to participate. DEFINITELY DO THIS.....YOU WON'T BE SORRY.

Uncle Nestor is the best!!

This was a great experience and it was expected to rain so we were encouraged to move our tour up earlier and I am so glad that we did. It was really a personal experience Nestor our tour guide and David our driver treated us like family. It ws a very knowledgable tour and with interesting historic information throughout the enhtire tour, plenty of time for photos and souvenir shopping. The rum tasting was fun and they were not stingy with the samples lol. I would definetly come back and do a tour with Uncle Nestor again. The best tour operator ever if you want to do a tour a real tour and not just someone taking you around t places where they are pushing you to buy something, book this tour you will not regret it!
