I loved Jordan !! he was phenomenal - I went on a tour with my best friend anna and Jordan as our tour guide ! He was super informative and kept us entertained the entire walk, “just 5 more Dominican minutes”. Come prepared with your own water shoes because the walk through the waterfall is treacherous. I love this company will definitely book again!!!

Alex with Puerto Plata Adventures is amazing - My girlfriend and I did this forest trek to natural swimming pool excursion through Shore Excursioneer. Alex with Puerto Plata Adventures was our tour guide. Alex was outstanding! He was extremely friendly and gave us time to ask questions and take pictures. We were the only ones doing the excursion, so we had a very good experience. Alex also went above and beyond by providing us complimentary snacks and drinks in the van on the way back from the excursion. My girlfriend also didn't have enough money to buy wet shoes for the excursion, so Alex paid for the wet shoes out of his own pocket. Excellent customer service! Good customer service is hard to find these days, so good customer service should be recognized and celebrated. I would definitely recommend Alex with Puerto Plata Adventures if you're looking for a fun/safe excursion. He'll take care of you while you're on vacation. Thanks a lot Alex! You made our time in the Dominican Republic memorable.

Good way to visit the lower waterfalls and learn about the local plants and wildlife - First, we were the only people booked that day, but the company didn't cancel on us - they gave us a private excursion instead. Xander was a very good guide with great knowledge of the area. About 8 years ago, we climbed up and slid down 12 of the 27 waterfalls. This tour is a flatter hike through the forest to the base of the final fall. You can just swim in the water, or climb up and slide down the final few falls.

Tony was the best! - We had the best time. I have back issues so this walk to the bottom of the falls was perfect. Then if someone in your group wants to do the slides or jump, they take you up and you can do a couple. It’s the best of both worlds. My husband didn’t miss out because my back issues and I got to swim and take the stairs up to take pictures. Tony was the best tour guide. He really cares about making it a great experience. He taught us about all the agricultural elements of the countryside. It’s a smalller tour (less people) which makes it much better. Bring cash to tip, they definitely earned it

Favorite part of my vacation! - I toured with Alex and Tony, with Alex as my personal guide. They were both amazing! I had the best time with Alex learning about local plants and wildlife, and swimming in the pool was so nice and refreshing. I'd love to come back and try sliding down the waterfalls!

Totally misrepresented description and much wasted time - We were a group of 5 adventuresome and well-travelled seniors. 1) The description did not reflect the level of difficulty on the walking paths and crossing the streams. The terrain was uneven and treacherous. 2) We waited endlessly in the van because 2 types of tours were put together. We waited significantly going and coming back. 3) The walk on the nature trail was exceedingly dragged out. We were told later that it was a very busy tour day and we had to be kept on the path to avoid jamming up at the final pool 4) The standing in place and minutia about plants and herbs was annoying and a time waster 5) When we reached the last pool we were surprised to find out that we had to retrace our steps and go back the way we came. ****On a positive note, our guide did everything that she could to ensure our safety. It was fortunate and a tribute to her that no one was injured. She lent a hand and gave a heads up at the many dangerous spots, especially in the streams. She had a timetable I'm sure that was negatively impacted by combining 2 differnet tours on the van and trying to keep the 'traffic' moving in both directions. She did a good job under the circumstances 6) When we arrived at the final pool, we were told we had to wait there for awhile before we could start back. I would not recommend this tour to anyone. We were told that there had been heavy rain and that the tours were very busy. The trip needs to be revamped, on a tighter schedule. We are longtime viator customers and taking a european tour this summer. we had expected to take viator trips. We expect a reply and some financial consideration for a wasted day. We have recommended viator to many friends and relatives over the years. Frances & Joseph Darpino

Trip from hell - The trip is not good who are older for people. You had to cross five streams where the rocks were hidden and the water was above your ankles. The rocks were slippery, a lot of women needed help crossing the streams. This strip needs an age notification of how dangerous it can be
