Unique fun experience, would recommend! - Great experience! The tour was perfect. Pickup from the cruise port was easy. Transportation just as described. I travelled with my family of 6, 3 being under the age of 18. The hike was easily manageable and the guides stopped multiple times to allow those that needed it to rest. Slides and jumps were safe with guides to help all along the way. Woudl 100% recommend.

Was worth it! Wonderful Staff made all the difference! - We had an INCREDIBLE experience! Our tour guides that picked us up from the Celebrity Cruise Ship were very helpful and entertaining as well as informative! They kept us on track with time but never felt rushed! Please read the description on Strenuous Activity. There was a younger child on this excursion that should not have been. Otherwise, this was a great excursion with my husband and 22 y/o daughter! The Waterfall slides and jump were exciting! The guides were professional and maintained control, feeling secure at all times. (It began to rain and some parts could have been slippery if not paying attention and reminders from the guides). All the staff working this site were polite and friendly. It was a wonderful experience! And a small local market area that had great prices!

Great Time - Our group of 11 had a great time! The waterfalls were fun and Xander was a great tour guide. Definitely worth the hike which was not as strenuous as they make it seem, but I am sure that in the summer heat & humidity it would be a bit rougher.

Amazing experience with Jordan and our driver Daniel. - We were two ladies traveling together and were greeted warmly by Jordan and Daniel. We could not have been made to feel more safe with them every step of the way as we hiked, slid down rocks and jumped from the cliff. They were encouraging, knowledgeable and genuinely cared about you and your experience with them. We had the best time with these lovely young men!!! We booked this through Costco Shore excursions and are so very glad we did.

This was a wonderful... - This was a wonderful excursion for my family of four. My kids, 13 and 16, had a blast and were thrilled to have the option to jump rather than just slide. 4 waterfalls were available, we slid down 3 and jumped one. Puerta Plata Adventures took great care of us, from ensuring we knew how to find them just outside the cruise center, getting us to the park with a DR overview in the way, and run punch and merengue on the way back. Tony, Antony, and Ernesto were great fun! Book this one for your DR stop- you will not regret it!

Xavier is the Best Tour Guide for the Job!!! - Best experience on a tour! Got there, hike was about 40 minutes to the waterfalls, but we had plenty of water and stops to rest. Cold water, but worth it after the hike. So much encouragement to jump and slide down the waterfall. Getting out of your comfort zone for this one is a must. Not to mention the samples of Mama Juana and lots of Rum Punch at the end! What a party on the bus afterwards! Props to our tour guides. 🎉

Awesome excursion and team - The whole experience was excellent. Xander and his team kept us all entertained the whole way there and back and during the excursion. The rum punch in the van on the way back and stopped for bananas and cookies were all very good. We could not have asked for a better guide. Thank you Xander.

Fun adventure - It was a very fun and adventurous excursion. I would be aware that since the water level was low there were fewer areas to slide and jump. It still was very fun but something to be aware of. I really liked how our specific tour guide stayed with our group because it’s very chaotic and lots of groups of people. Our guide gave detailed instructions and I would definitely use them again.

Great Fun, Many Stairs, Worth the Cost, But bring a snack - It was a lot of fun, lots of walking which was expected. We went on 4 slides and one cliff or platform jump. Water was cool but refreshing. A bit confusing as multiple groups blended and different direction from different guides. Overall fun experience

Xander was awesome!!! - Xander was amazing. He was friendly, informative and knowledgeable. The herding of groups at he falls detracted from the overall experience, but Xander's presentations on local culture and his enthusiasm to go above and beyond were definitely the highlights of this excursion. If we are ever in the DR again, we would love to try a different tour with him.
