Fun had by all but a few things you should know... - This was a great half day excursion. BUT you should not consider this trip if you have any fear of water or if mobility/health issues are a concern.
The hike to start the trip is very long and uphill the majority of the way. They dont tell you this but you should be prepared for a bit of a workout.
Once you start your decent through the naturally made "water slides" you will be underwater on several occasions as you drop into deep pools of water. It's tons of fun but not if you have any fear of water. The excursion was so much fun but in truth, it did catch us by surprise since we really weren't given full disclosure as to what to expect.

Waterfall excursion - Mara, Manuel, and Darlin were absolutely fantastic guides. We loved trying the coffee, chocolate, and rum. Darlin followed us all through the falls and took amazing pictures! It was so much fun and I would recommend to everyone!

Personal Papparazzi - Excellent experience from start to finish. Manuel and Eliezer picked us up and took us to the main event, where we did the hike, slides, and jump. It was like we had a personal photographer, and Eliezer had us in great poses, videos, pictures, action shots, everything! He was so kind. The buffet after was great and then the coffee experience after that. Loved it.

A Day To Remember - We were promptly greeted with a smile by Lilo and our photographer Alex, they told us what we were in store for and kept us in the loop the entire time. When we arrived at our destination Lilo walked us through and got us all set up with our National Park Tour Guide. Alex accompanied us as our personal photographer and videographer capturing the excitement of our excursions. It was an amazing experience that we have photographed to help our memories to be shared. When we finished Lilo was there to meet us and bring us back to the ship with an added local stop to see the coffee and chocolate plantation. Great day great guides amazing experience

Slip sliding away! - Its a wonderful hike up to the falls and beautiful scenery as you slide, jump and walk through the falls. I would say its probably not for people who can't hike up a lot of steps and trails. Getting down into the water for the first fall is like climbing down a latter. You had to turn around and go down about 15 steps or so. I saw some older people struggle getting down. One lady in our group slipped and fell on her backside going down a set of steps. Definitely gor the younger crowd or those who are in good shape. Im over 50 and did not have hard time. It truly is a once in a lifetime experience

Great with a caveat - We had a blast and communication was really good including instructions on where to meet, photos and a map. Our your guide Mara was funny and kind. The waterfalls were beautiful and the slides and jump were much more thrilling than expected. The only thing you can opt out of is the 20ft jump- everything else must be done in order to move down the falls. This is 5 stars with a caveat: bring cash. Someone from the company will follow you during the tour and take great pictures and videos, and at the end of the tour you can buy them… but cash only. We did not have enough cash on us. Telling customers ahead of time would be beneficial and/or offering an option to “add on a photo package” could be helpful. We all enjoyed our Lunch after the waterfalls- a nice selection of traditional DR foods. The coffee and chocolate part of the tour was fine and somewhat interesting but there is pressure there to purchase.

Fun at the Falls - The water levels were a bit low for us, so we weren’t able to get in as many jumps or slides as you would if the water levels were higher. It was very fun still. Water was nice, and the guides were fun. We travelled with DRSs and they did a very good job - even allowed us to stop on the way home and purchase some fresh fruit - which was great! They took us to a coffee making place and an art exhibit, obviously so we would purchase things but we didn’t and there wasn’t any pressure to do so. We enjoyed it!

Don't waste your time and money - This was a waste of a shore day in Dominican Republic. It was so overcrowded and we were in line for over 2 hours. The trail to the waterfalls was a hike straight uphill for over an hour. Not for the faint of heart. Then we stood in more lines. When we got back to the start there was no lunch. They had run out of food. We were told we would get a mama juana drink on the ride there but that didn't happen either. All in all, a lot of waiting around, no organization, not as advertised, a waste of a day.
