Professional Group!

We ended up not going on the tour because it was raining heavily. But I want to highlight Marco's professionalism, constantly staying in touch with us about possible rebookings. I also appreciate his caution in not trying to push through the trip even with inclement weather. Finally, Marco was extremely prompt in issuing the refund. I was impressed by their professionalism, and look forward to doing this excursion the next time I am in DR.

Energetic waterfall hike

Larry_B, Jul 2024

A get away in nature with a good hike. Was strenuous as the trail was soggy , muddy and humid due to heavy recent rains. The tour included a breakfast stop for a Dominican breakfast and after the hike a lunch at a local residence. Our guides on the hike rode horses for most of the trail. The horses and guides were amazing in the way they handled the difficult terrain.

Amazing but don’t underestimate the difficulty

Carly_m, Apr 2024

In principle it should be a great experience. The scenery is amazing but there are a lot of draw backs. The humidity is killer. It is a lot longer than advertised. We thought we would all be on horses but had to insist we got 3 horse out of the 7 in the party for the kids. You walk through alot of water so prepare for wet feet. Have I said the humidity is dire? The last 2km are by far the hardest on steep and slippery narrow tracks which everyone has to walk as the horses cannot make it on the tracks. Getting into the water at the waterfall itself is treacherous with very slippy rocks. I fell and split my elbow needing stitches. The guides have no basic first aid kit. We took 1ltr of water per person and the guides had an extra 500mil bottle each and some fruit. It was no where near enough. It really is not for kids under 13. It is tough for adults unless you are very fit. Two of us came back with heat stroke. It is an amazing experience but you need to be seriously prepared

You must do this tour! It’s AMAZING!

Bri_M, Aug 2023

This tour was truly incredible, easily the best part of our trip to the DR! We were picked up at our Airbnb in Punta Cana by Angelo, drove two hours to just outside of Miches where we had a delicious breakfast at a little restaurant. Angelo supplied us with water and snacks for the trip. Then two amazing local guides and two rockstar mules took us on this amazing journey through Salto De La Jalda National Park. We didn’t speak Spanish and they didn’t speak English but we figured out how to communicate and had a blast! Our guides, two high-spirited young men, showed us how to eat cacao pods which were so tasty! We took lots of Polaroids and selfies and ate lots of snacks together. We crossed the river many times and climbed up the sides of ravines. When we got to the waterfall we swam in the pool there. It was beautiful! We had a delicious lunch at the same little spot when we returned. Best chicken I’ve ever had! The hike/ journey is a challenge for sure, it’s humid and hot, you will get wet crossing the river, and the trail does incline. But trust me, if you can do it, it’s 100% worth it! One of the most unique and memorable experiences I’ve ever had.

Thank you bro for your great review. We are glad that the tour has met your expectations. As part of the agreement with the locals we can only make it to the restaurant and they will take it from there. They want the waterfall to be profitable for them as you can see the conditions of the people living in that area. So far they have been following our instructions and deliver the best that they can. Again we thank you for choosing us.
