Fun day exploring waterfalls and playing with monkeys

5.00Great experience hiking to and sliding down waterfalls. The waterfalls were beautiful! The guides were fun and kept everyone moving (with pauses on the hike for various athletic abilities). Be sure to bring water shoes! You’ll be walking over rocks for about a hour. There are bathrooms where you can change before/after. We also enjoyed playing with the monkeys. They are very friendly. We got some great pictures!
Monkeys and waterfalls! Yeah!!!

5.00Leury was an amazing driver, host, etc. Leury made the trip. The falls were so much fun and the monkeys were super cute. Good value for the money. Water socks are great but I wish I brought a ratty pair of throw away sneakers. The can be hard on your feet if you're not used to it.

5.00This was a lot of work and a lot of fun, It is a strenuous walk up the to the waterfalls, but definitely worth it. I suggest buying your own watershoes. The ones they have to rent hurt my feet. It was exhilarating going down the waterfalls. The pictures were great too, but you have to pay for them. The monkeys are so adorable and fun. This is a treat for the whole family,

5.00Me and my daughter Had a wonderful experience with the monkeys and the staff. We were able to get some great pictures of the monkeys on our head, shoulders, and arms. Would highly recommend and it’s way cheaper than what the cruise ship charges for the excursion.
Best company and excursion possible at the DR.

5.00By far our favorite expedience of our cruise. Aribel was an amazing tour guide. He is kind and goes out of his way to make the tour interesting and the best experience. It really makes an experience 5 stars when the activities are this fun, and the guides are kind. For example, my husband lost his watch in the damajagua falls. They didn’t have to, but guides went back and found it in the murky deep pools and brought it back to us. Then, Aribel noted members of our group liked a certain hot sauce for lunch. He stopped at a store and bought some for the members of our group. Truly a top notch guide. Gesly at th monkeys made sure we had plenty of time with monkeys crawling on us- unforgettable! An amazing honeymoon excursion for my husband and I.
