I travel a lot and have had a mix of experiences when it comes to tours, but truly this tour was fantastic! The national park was definitely crowded so be prepared for that, but sliding downtown the waterfalls was such a unique experience…and it was beautiful. I read reviews about the strenuous hike, and while my family hikes a lot, I found it to be no more than a moderate hike. The guides give MANY stops for people to rest so it does not feel overwhelming at all. Our guides Fernando and Werbe were awesome. At the end of the waterfall, the Dominican lunch was served at a local restaurant and was delicious. My son and I are gluten free and my daughter is vegetarian, and all was able to be accommodated for our diet. Everyone tore up lunch! You will not leave hungry. Next was a cigar rolling demonstration, including being able to pick and smoke a cigar if desired. Cigars were available for purchase. There was rum to try and purchase, as well as coffee and chocolate. The shop had some very unique souvenirs. The prices were more affordable than what you would find at the port. I’ve never been on a tour that included so much for an extremely affordable price. I would 100% recommend this tour. We had a small issue with not being able to do the zip lines because of the timing and the crowds, but the company notified me immediately and wanted to make sure I was happy with only doing the waterfalls. After all was said and done, I really don’t know that I missed the zip lining at all. Anyway, They refunded me immediately for the difference and were just overall amazing to work with. I appreciated their integrity. Their communication was fantastic prior to arrival and instructions very clear. Both our guides were super hospitable and fun to talk to. They also provided some great information about the island and it’s history, culture, and agriculture! Really, don’t miss this adventure!

Sara_M, Apr 2026
I would highly recommend this excursion!! Our tour guide Daniella, driver Marteen, and paparazzi/photographer Chocolata were the best!! They were friendly, knowledgeable and professional!! We booked this excursion with another family and we're the only ones in our tour group! Chocolata took great pictures of us the whole experience! While on the hike up to the zip lines he informed us all about the types of trees, land around the area and all about the Dominican culture. He was so funny cracking jokes along the way! He fully immersed himself in the experience with us while ziplining and sliding down the rocky waterfalls. He stopped us along the way to capture these priceless memories with photos of the families and friends. After the ziplining and waterfalls, we took a tour though the countryside to visit a real plantation where they shared more of their culture, coffee, rum, chocolate, cigars with samples! We would highly recommend tbis tour! Family friendly and for all ages!

What a fun filled adventure! Lots of zip lines and waterfalls, with a personal guide, and a free lunch! We had a great time and felt truly immersed in the nature surrounding us. The only few things to note are that you absolutely must bring your own water shoes or sneakers and it is a rather strenuous very steep hike for at least 30-40 minutes so you really need to be quite active and fit, would not recommend for those who are not used to that activity level. While our tour got lucky and was a very small group, there are many tours together with groups as large as 30-40 plus people so when you finally get to the waterfalls in particular it can be very backed up and crowded. Our tour guide did take a large number of pictures for us, but then wanted to charge us $75 for them. Would have appreciated it more if this was negotiable or included or disclosed of at the beginning and not the end. But overall had a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend Tami and Jonathan for any future tours.
Heather_H, Apr 2026
We expected a smaller tour group, but were unfortunately added to a group of about 80. The lines were ridiculously long for the zip lines and the waterfalls, and they pushed so many people through it felt unsafe. What was supposed to be a couple hours took us six hours, and we did not have enough time for the plantation visit. We arrived back at our drop off with about 4 minutes to run to our ship (the pier was a minimum of a 10 minute walk). Had this been as advertised, with a small group, and all the promised events, it likely would have been a 4-5 star. But as it was, it felt like hours of waiting for a few moments of fun, and the added stress of almost missing our ship. If they knew the location was going to be overbooked, I would have preferred an opportunity to decide if we still wanted to do it or cancel for a refund.
Andrea_O, Apr 2026
We had so much fun and our team was amazing. They definitely are well organized and know how to navigate the experience from pick-up to drop off. Our guides made it a fun day and I am so happy we booked through them vs the cruise. It was much more enjoyable than a large group. It felt like a personal experience. I recommend this experience 100%.
Lindsay_G, Mar 2026
This was the most incredible day! What an adventure. Tami was the best friendliest driver. Luis was the most wonderful paparazzi who adventured with us to get the most amazing photographs. William was so helpful and accommodating. Followed by a delicious Domenican buffet. It was truly a magical day we will never forget
Kim_G, Mar 2026
William, Carmen, Francis, Anderson and Angelo were awesome!!! What an awesome adventure. Picked up in an AC car and driven to zip lines with waterfalls and ending at a plantation where you can visit the squirrel monkeys and native plants. It was EPIC! Thank you
Scott_C, Mar 2026
Perfect way to experience the natural beauty of DR and get some steps in. William made sure we knew exactly how to find him before we even left the cruise ship. He made sure we were on schedule and safely drove us to our stops along the way. Daniella was a fantastic young tour guide who engaged with all of us, answered questions, and helped us get situated at every stop. Her love for her culture shines through. Couldn’t ask for a better guide. Jonathan “Paparazzi” provided excellent dedicated photography services for our small group since we couldn’t take cameras into the waterfalls and swim areas. His photo and video package at the end was well worth the reasonable cost. The zip line and waterfall parts were phenomenal thanks to Tony and Brian and the whole staff. They looked out for our safety but also made sure my family and friends had the time of our lives. Lots of laughter and good times. The climb up the mountain was just enough to get the heart pumping and warm up. The zip lines were exhilarating. Sliding down and jumping from waterfalls down into the gorge was unforgettable. Take this tour if you get the chance. Our final stop was a plantation with homegrown tobacco, cocoa, and coffee among other crops. Super wonderful people and nice selection of goods available for purchase. So happy we could support locals vs the cruise terminal.

This was an absolutely wonderful excursion! You will have to walk completely outside of the cruise port to meet your tour guide. Our tour guide was Werbe and Tammie. It was just the two of us so the tour was very personal. The vehicle was clean and comfortable and they were very knowledgeable and friendly. We got to the location and Tammie made sure all of our belongings were safe. We met up with our other guides and we joined a group of about 20 people and then we were off. It is important that you know that there will be at least two other guides so bring enough tip money. I ran a bit low on tip money and did not have enough to make everything even, but I made it work. The hike to the falls and zip line is mostly on an upward incline and it takes about 40-45 minutes. So this is an excursion for people that are at least moderately fit. We did zip line first. Tremendous fun and very safe. The guides cover the safety with you. Next we did the falls. The water cutting through the rocks was gorgeous. There is walking, slides and a platform to jump off. Even if you cannot swim the guides will assist you through the water way. Make sure you bring your water shoes and leave anything you don't want to get wet or drop on the zip line in the car. Werbe my guide took over a 100 pics and some action videos, so all we had to do is enjoy the time on the excursion. The cost of the pics and video are well worth the price to capture the memories of the experience. Next we had a great lunch, buffet style local food. Next we went to a shop. We like the presentation and purchased chocolate and coffee. We felt no pressure. If you are a cigar smoker you would really enjoy the selection. We do not smoke but we love coffee. Next we met up with Tammie and was taken back to the cruise port with plenty of time. I highly recommend this excursion Marino and the other guide at the falls were great and Tammie and Werbe were excellent guides. You will not be disappointed.

This was really fun, beautiful scenery. Recommended to go in the afternoon for less crowding. Our driver William was nice and helpful. Alvaro was a good guide and the "paparazzi" took good photos. The lunch provided was yummy!
Carol_G, Mar 2026
Daniella Valentino and Charly were great tour guides! Very helpful and informative, made the day so much fun!
Richard_C, Feb 2026
JB (our paparazi) was an AWESOME, photographer and tour guide, we could not have had a better experience! Tiffany / Tami was an amazing driver, navigating us through the port and countryside, and making sure we were always taken care of, and in a clean car!
DR. Prime tours was an overall amazing experience, we loved it all!!
Andre_L, Feb 2026
Be prepared to walk a lot getting to the different zip lines and the waterfall slides. Most everyone is wearing water shoes. I would suggest putting some soft insole (Dr Scholl gels) in your shoes before this trip as walking on rocks a lot is a bit painful on your feet
Thomas_M, Feb 2026
Great trip. Private car to Falls. Avoided crowded cruise buses. Had private photographer for extra fee. Zipline was fun. I would highly recommend.
Nathan_H, Feb 2026
I would definitely book this trip again! The hike up the hill was a little more challenging for my 65y mother in law but she made it. You are going to get 100% wet on the way down you can skip some of the bigger slides/jumps but not the smaller first ones that will get you completely submerged in the water. Overall the trip was great!
Cher_K, Feb 2026
This was hands-down one of the best days of our trip to the Dominican Republic! We booked this zip lining and waterfall adventure, and it exceeded every expectation.
From the moment we were picked up, the kindness of the hosts shone through. They provided a clean, comfortable van, and our group was small and intimate—just the four of us plus two others—which made everything feel personal and relaxed. Because of the smaller size, we breezed past all the larger tours without any waiting at the slides or platforms. It was such a smooth, stress-free experience.
The jungle itself was breathtakingly beautiful, lush and vibrant in every direction. Seeing it from the air while zip lining was truly magical—gliding high above the canopy felt like flying through a postcard.
The adventure part was pure fun and adrenaline: jumping off platforms into refreshing pools, sliding down natural rock waterslides, and splashing into roaring pools. It was priceless and exhilarating, with just the right mix of thrill and natural beauty.
After all that excitement, they took us to a private, gorgeous buffet lunch that hit the spot perfectly—fresh, delicious, and in such a serene setting.
But the day didn’t end there! As an added bonus, we got to learn how to make authentic Dominican cigars, harvest cocoa beans, and experience the coffee process firsthand. It was fascinating, interactive, and the perfect cultural cherry on top.
If you’re visiting the Dominican Republic, do yourself a favor and book with these amazing people—you won’t regret it. This tour turned an ordinary day into an unforgettable adventure filled with kindness, beauty, and joy. Highly recommend—10/10!
Josh_C, Feb 2026
This was WAY better than I could have hoped for. We opted for this tour instead of the tours offered by our cruise line. We ended up in a group of six (us + a family of four). It really felt like a private tour. The guides were helpful and answered any questions we had about the island. The best part was that our guide, Piro, walked us ahead of all the large groups. It felt like we had a fast pass. The waterfalls were beautiful and the ziplines were so much fun. I’d recommend this to anyone feeling adventurous.
Jordan_S, Feb 2026
“Chocolate” (Cool photographer and guide) and William (Forgave us for being seven minutes late. Thank you) treated us like family throughout our jungle experience in the Damajagua National Park which included cruising down seven zip lines, sliding down three waterfalls and exploring the jungle while it rained. Chocolate was affable, knowledgeable, friendly and fun during the adventure. They both made sure we experienced all that was to be explored on this tour including dining with the locals at their favorite eatery (Delicious local food🤤) and stopping off at local shop which produces the best chocolate, coffee and cigars. Special treatment indeed. 😉
Thank you both and Daniela for a memorable experience!! We will recommend you to others and if we should return, will look for your Dr. Prime Tours again.
Have a blessed day and beyond!🤩

Excellent experience, our guides took very good care of us during our trip. Will definitely be booking again the next time I have a port stop in amber cove
Jiayi_Q, Jan 2026
The experience itself was okay, but there was a significant issue with what was delivered afterward.
We purchased the photo package mainly because we were told that videos would be included. However, after the activity, we only received a video for one person, even though there were two participants.
When we contacted the provider to ask about the missing video or a refund, we were told there were no additional videos available. This was disappointing, as it did not match our expectations at the time of booking.
I recommend future customers confirm exactly how many videos are included before purchasing.
Response from Host, Jan 2026

Rob_W, Jan 2026
the zip lines were great!
but the provider left us sitting in the van for 45 minutes and then we stood around at the venue for another 30 minutes. due to the delays we could not complete the tour because we would miss the boat.
be prepared to hike for about 40 minutes to get to the top of the mountain and prepared to handle the shock of sinking into deep water on the slides
Christy_C, Dec 2025
The tour guides were encouraging and funny. Bernie whistled exactly like the birds and donkeys. It was quite amusing. What was left out before we booked is that you are climbing equivalent to 23 flights of stairs going up the mountain. Tammy picked us up at the port and was kind, talked about the island and took us through downtown to see Umbrella St and the pink alley way. The main reason why it wasn’t 5 stars is because the workers tried to sell us someone to take pictures of this. First price was $45. Someone came to correct her and said $55 not $45. I told her no but went back a few minutes later and told me the new price of $75. We did get the chocolate and mamajuania tasting, learned about the nearby plantation, but didn’t get to try the coffee. The zips were short. The stairs were steep going up and down to some of the zips. The waterfall was freezing. You will be walking over uneven terrain. Many people got hurt. You done see 7 waterfalls. It’s one continuous one.
Ashley_P, Dec 2025
I can’t say enough good things about this. It was a strenuous but good hike! Zip lines were fun but the waterfalls were even better. Definitely a must do!
Robert_L, Dec 2025
Showed up to our tour on time and found our tour guide who walked us over to a spot to wait at. Then were greeted by a “manager” from the tour company telling us people in our group from our ship had contacted them reporting they were sick and couldn't make it. They regret to inform us that they can’t do the tour with only 2 people. This is frustrating because we used internet minutes on our ship to go through the app to check in on status and ask questions in the Viator portal chat to the tour company and they never responded nor took the time to raise such issues or concerns. We checked with our boat and there were no issues with any guests coming down with sicknesses. We assume they always were undersold and they were hoping we would just then join with their other tour option which essentially was just the waterfall experience and not the zip line as well like we had paid for. They offered us a full refund and charged us for the other experience instead, but the frustrating part is you have no real options other than rushing back to the port entrance (10 minute walk) and try to secure a new and probably more expensive last minute local excursion. Even though it didn’t feel right that they weren’t being 100% honest with us, we opted to still stick with having an excursion, but we definitely didn’t get to do the zip line which we were able to observe while on the waterfall excursion and felt like we missed out. The actual excursion tour is pretty good because you get handed off to the local guides at the park who take you on the waterfall excursion. It didn’t feel like they’re actually worth seven waterfalls as the initial one you drop into technically count as one and maybe one other one that didn’t feel like a real waterfall, but there are some cool natural slides, and also an 18 foot drop jump. Need to have options for people who are a little bit more afraid to take either a ladder or a more difficult natural slide to avoid the 18 foot drop. Overall, it was really nice despite the fact that it’s a bunch of groups, all being forced together and then sent down tight spaces. It’s good if you do the earlier excursions I find because it’s not as filled up by the other cruise ship excursions coming. There will be one person from the tour company that goes on the excursion and offers to take pictures and videos of everyone and you can buy it at the end where they will link up to your phone to send you all of the items, but we didn’t have to as we brought our own waterproof camera. Other than that add on offer, this tour company merely handles you getting to the waterfall park, and then takes you to some tourist traps after taking you to lunch. The tourist trap forces you into learning about the cigar making process, but if like me and are a non smoker, you’ll have zero interest. They also teach you about the chocolate and it’s an OK experience, but definitely would have rather just been in the downtown area to learn about these things and feel pressured to buy things at every turn. overall, we felt blindsided in. It altered our day and we still were able to enjoy the waterfall aspect, but dealing with the company throughout the day was a frustrating experience and I would opt to maybe use a different company that might be more trustworthy.

Pros: zip lining is always fun. The bridge without hand cables was my favorite. Attendants were not the most attentive (which for me is a plus because I’ve zipped before), the waterfall slides were a fun new experience. We definitely got our steps in. Lunch at the facility was fantastic! 10/10 stars for the authentic Carribean food!
Cons: it’s a hike up the mountain and in water shoes is rough. Our calves were sore for 4 days afterwards. The water level wasn’t very high so only a few slides were open. There are SO.MANY.PEOPLE! If you’re expecting a small group forget it they pack the people in and there are so many lines. I suppose if you go when cruise lines are not in port it’s not like that. The plantation stop is ok- but felt more like a buying trap.

Our shore excursion to Damajagua Falls and Zip Lining in Puerto Plata was nothing short of amazing! From start to finish, the experience was incredibly well-organized, safe, and absolutely packed with fun and natural beauty.
A special shoutout to our photographer, Jonathan, who captured the entire day with stunning photos and videos. Thanks to him, we have incredible memories to look back on—and every jump, slide, and splash was perfectly documented.
Our driver, William, ensured we traveled comfortably and safely the entire time. He was attentive to everyone’s needs and made sure we felt secure and cared for throughout the journey.
Daniella, our excursion coordinator, was fantastic—super organized, informative, and made sure everything ran on time. She shared lots of great insights about the different areas we passed, giving us a deeper appreciation of the local culture and history.
The highlight of the day was definitely the hike and waterfalls, led by our amazing guide Felix J. He was incredibly warm, friendly, and helpful, making sure everyone felt confident and safe while still having a blast climbing, sliding, and jumping through the falls.
Safety gear including helmets and life jackets was provided and mandatory, which gave us peace of mind to really enjoy the adventure.
Between the thrilling zip lining, the refreshing natural waterfalls, and the wonderful team that guided us along the way, this was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Highly recommend it to anyone visiting Puerto Plata—you won’t regret it!
Daniela_A, Sep 2025
Great experience. Lots of fun. Perfect for someone who likes adventures Daniela & Jonathan were our guides and were absolutely amazing and so helpful with everything. Jonathan also takes great photos!
Brent_F, Jul 2025
What an amazing experience! Probably one of the best excursions I’ve done- and I travel often. Our guide was great! He was courteous, knowledgeable, and a lot of fun. The hike to the zip lines does have some small rocky areas, so good soles on your water shoes is a must. I live in a mountainous region, so I hike often. For me, the hike was very easy but I can see how it would be difficult for others not used to hiking. The zip lines were really fun. I felt very safe. Siding down the water slides and jumping off the cliff was epic! I also felt very safe with our guides. They made safety a top priority. Then we went to the coffee plantation. Chocolate (our guides nickname) was so knowledgeable about all of the plants. Then we had an opportunity to see cigar rolling and do a little local shopping. The van we rode in was comfortable, clean, and had good AC. When you read the pickup information it will tell you to go out of the main gates of Amber Cove. That can be confusing because you go through several gates…just keep walking pasts all of the shops, out of the shopping center, past the buses and the parking lot, and then you will see the actual
Main gates of amber cove. There will be a road there and that’s where the guides will be waiting. We got A little turned around at first but was able to find the location.
Tiffany_S, Jul 2025
This was an absolutely amazing experience! Chocolate, Andriw, and Brian were fantastic guides. We began with an air-conditioned ride to the National Park where we were given life jackets and helmets. They gave a safetly briefing and a description of the day, and the adventure began. The hike was about 40 min (several "5 Dominican minutes.") The terrain was rocky, but there were quite a few steps built in and that helped, and they took several breaks to rest. My husband has leg and ankle issues, and we were just very careful where he stepped and he did fine. Nobody pushes you to go any faster than you are able to.
We reached the top and got our zipline harnesses on. At each station, I felt very safe. We did five ziplines and crossed two suspension bridges.
After the ziplines, we began the waterfall part of the adventure. We did three natural rock slides down the waterfalls. For the fourth waterfall, we did a jump from a platform about 20 ft above the water. Not gonna lie - it was terrifying ... and exhilarating. Two pieces of advice: don’t chicken out and make sure you stay as straight as possible going in. My legs were at a slight angle, and I did hit the water harder than everyone else. I’d do the jump again, though and just make sure I stayed straight down.
The views from the ziplines were breathtaking. The of the rivers and gorges we swam through were so peaceful.
We enjoyed a Dominican lunch after the adventure, then Chocolate took us to a stop on the way back to the cruise port and learned about their coffee farming, how they make chocolate, how they roll cigars, and lots of the things native to the area.
My suggestions for anyone doing this: water shoes are absolutely necessary. If you wear glasses and need to keep them on, get a good pair of glasses straps. Don’t rush yourself or others in your group. Stop and enjoy everything around you. And BUY THE PICTURES AND VIDEOS! They are absolutely worth it!

Our day with DR Prime Tours was a WONDERFUL experience! Elvis, Fernando, Charli, and Omega took exceptional care of us. We felt safe, well looked after, had a once in a lifetime experience and they all made it so personal for us.
