Wonderful experience, great tour company - Outstanding experience! The transport van is spotless, air conditioned and brand new. Rene provided incredible information about the area and it's rich history. Customer service was absolutely excellent and of course the excursion was breathtaking. The hike is longer than I expected but well worth it. Definitely recommend the tour and this provider. Telling all my travel clients.

Wonderful experience - Was first time to not book with the cruise ship, but so glad we did it thru this company instead! Wonderful experience and felt safe and taken care of without all the large crowed groups from the ships excursions. Walked out of port following directions given and went to meeting spot where he had my name on a sign. We were picked up in a private nice clean a/c van just for our family and had our own personal driver. Had water bottles available for us. Liked being able to see some of the island on the 25 min trip to hiking trail. Got there and was able to leave our backpack and stuff in the van. Our driver stayed there to wait on us and van was locked and secure. I highly recommend to wear the tennis shoe type of water shoes with socks for the hike up and swim type shorts to protect skin on natural rock slides. . It’s a 35 min hike, but they gave us plenty of breaks on the way up so wasn’t too bad. Water is extremely cold at first but feels good once you get used to it. We went down 2 natural rock slides and walked/swimmed down a stream with natural rocks cut away which was neat. Then the last one was either another slide or jump and we all jumped. Very scary, but glad we did it. Was just the right amount of adventure for us. Our driver was waiting for us and escorted us to the place to eat. Then we ate at the buffet included and the food was very good and hit the spot. We were glad we didn’t do a longer excursion. It was just the right amount of time and then made our way to shops at port and back on ship for a nap.

Really good service, recommended! - Great experience, great service with RV tour by Rene Robles. They didn’t give us meeting time, so not really rush for our family with 3 children (youngest 7yrs), we left the ship as soon as possible and walk out to the port main gate, turned left walk 2 minutes then Rene was there waiting for us with cold bottles water, Coke, and AC on van, really good service.
After arriving at the park, Rene kept our personal belongings in the locked van. He helped us with put on safety gears, and waited on us till finished the tour at the restaurant. We brought towels to keep the seats dry and clean.
This was our first time to Damajagua waterfalls. The park people combined 2 groups with total 12 people, and guided by 2 Tour guides from the beginning to the end of the tour, really helpful and friendly. We all loved it, and will come back.

Highly recommend! - I definitely recommend booking with this company! Although it is a bit of a walk to get to them, it’s worth it to sit in a private car with AC! Very professional company (René is great) and I greatly enjoyed my experience. The buffet was bomb at the end! I definitely recommend booking at the earliest time so you’re done by noon and can eat lunch and have the rest of the day free. The falls were a lot of fun and seriously don’t bring anything with you (not even sunglasses, an Apple Watch or anything). Tevas candles are perfect as the hiking terrain is a little rough with the wrong shoes. Even water shoes seemed like it would hurt with the rocky terrain. And pay for the photo package! So convenient for someone else to take pictures and videos constantly.

Damajagua Waterfalls Puerto Plata - My family & I recently visited Puerto Plata with Norwegian Cruise Lines. I searched for days leading up to our cruise just to find a reliable transportation company that could get us to the waterfalls. I would highly recommend using Rene (Owner) of RV Tours for your transportation needs as he was very responsive to e-mails prior to booking the excursion as well as letting us know that he was waiting for us outside of Tanio Bay on the morning we docked. We felt very safe with Rene, he made us feel very comfortable about the entire process since we were unfamiliar with the area and really didn't know what to expect. You can't go wrong booking with Rene with RV Tours for your next trip to Puerto Plata Dominican Republic.
Also, I wanted to give a big shout out to Robin, our photographer during the excursion & our tours guides through the falls, Franklin & Delvi who made it a great day & very fun excursion.

The morning we were going... - The morning we were going to the waterfalls they were closed due to too much rain. So our tour guide, Rosie, offered to take us through the city tour and beach instead. While it wasn’t what we expected, we had a great time at the rum and chocolate factory. The food for lunch was delicious and the beach was beautiful and we had the place to ourselves. Rosie was super accomadating, spending more or less time doing things based on what we wanted and knew all the best places. Would absolutely recommend. He was exactly where expected just outside the gates of the port past all the stores and he made sure we did everything with plenty of time to get back to the port. Great experience even though our excursion had to be adjusted.

Private Tour of Damajagua Waterfalls w/ lunch - Thank you RV tours and Rene for a great tour. We were on a cruise and the tour we wanted was sold out. Rene made our tour possible and got us back to the ship in plenty of time. Highly recommend!!!

A welcomed Adventure - This was a really fun afternoon with a comfortable and easy transfer from the cruise port to the falls. There is a lot of walking and steps, up and down. You will get soaked. Bring nothing with you and plan on wearing close toed shoes that you do not care about getting wet and dirty.
