About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- StacieV2170 contributionsGreat Excursion When at Port for One DayDefinitely recommend this excursion! We were on a cruise that stopped at the Taino Bay Port in Puerta Plata, DR for the day. I purchased through Trip Advisor and not the cruise line because it was twice the price through them. The guys picked us up right outside the port (about a 10 minute walk). The drive was approximately 30 minutes to the falls, all on paved roads. They did have us leave all our stuff (bags/towels/phones) in their van which I was a little uneasy about at first but our photographer was accompanying us the whole time and the driver locked it up. We then grabbed life vests and helmets and joined another group since there were only two of us and started the hike up to the falls. There we met Gabriel and two other gentlemen that were guiding us through the falls. Wear water shoes or sandals with thick soles! They gave us all a bottle of water and had us take breaks along the way. There were inclines, some rocky terrain, and wooden stairs (up & down) but it was a manageable hike for everyone. We even saw some cows along the hike! Werbe was our "shooter" that hiked along with us and took pictures along the way. We reached the falls and took a ladder down into the water. The water was so refreshing since we had been hiking for the last 30ish minutes. We then walked/swam through the water. There were a couple that you had to swim through b/c they were too deep to walk, but the life vest kept our heads afloat. None of the areas were fully submerged where you had to swim under water. The deeper ponds you could slide or jump into. The whole time Werbe was getting through the water with a camera and getting shots of us through out, I really appreciated that because I don't know how we were going to get pictures while doing this. It took about 45 minutes to get through the falls, the wait times to slide/jump were minimal because they did a good job of keeping the groups small. I would have loved to stay in the water a little longer but they gathered us up after everyone jumped into the last pond to start walking back. The walk back was easier than going up but they didn't give us anymore water. Luckily the waterfalls had cooled us off! We returned to base where we were led to the fresh hot buffet of food for lunch (this was included in the cost!). There was chicken, beef, rice/beans, fries, salad and pasta available. Werbe also had a cooler with water & sodas for us. We ate, and I had a nice little island cat friend hang out by my chair begging for food lol I was giving it chicken so that was my fault it hung around. We then had to head back to the port so we were driven back in the van to the same area where we were picked up outside the port. I paid an extra fee for Werbe to send the pictures and videos digitally through e-mail that I received just a few hours later. He got some great shots! We were pleased with this excursion and glad we tried it! The company is trustworthy and I thought this was a great value for a 4 hour experience.Written 3 October 2024
- dianakD6558CT0 contributionsHands down best excursion, best guides ever!!This was the best excursion we have ever booked!! Our guides: Mara, Monkey and our driver, Johnny were AMAZING!!!! They were the best. Made sure we had everything we needed, the food was great at the end!! Monkey made sure to get the best pics!! The plantation tour after was cool too, we got to try organic chocolate and Mamajuana. (A wine made there). They even took extra time after the excursion to take us to Pink street and Umbrella street!! They were just awesome!! Highly recommend this excursion!! You guys ROCKED!!!!Written 29 September 2024
- kellycN6686QG0 contributionsExhilarating Waterfall JumpMy husband did this whole tour experience. He said it was quite intense and exhilarating at the same time with some of the jumps into the water, but so much fun!!! He really enjoyed it!! I went on the hike but didn’t do the jumps. You can choose to do the hikes but not the jumps.Written 27 September 2024
- Yoguimoroz0 contributionsWe recomend this!!Very nice experience, the guides were profesional, fun and charming!!!! The views were wondeful, you do have to be careful with the dominican minutes, and should wear comfortable, and adequate shoes and clothes. 10/10Written 25 September 2024
- becca9700030 contributionsAwesome tour companyWe had a wonderful day with this tour company. The waterfalls were so much fun! I loved the incredible lunch- chicken was great.

- OnAir383438270440 contributionsBest experience everThe service was incredible.He went above and beyond the excursion itself He took us to a beautiful amber museum And to a chocolate factory where we drink coffee and tasted different chocolates. This was absolutely amazing and would recommend to everyone. The horses were also a beautiful experience. I have nothing bad to say.Written 24 August 2024
- Rxnnm5080 contributionsAmazing experienceWe booked this tour while cruising and I was nervous to book something outside the cruise ship but so happy we did and would do it over again! DSRR has amazing communication, they texted us before our trip with clear instructions and even responded before with questions I had! Our tour guide Kilin (might be spelling wrong) was so great! He took time to explain everything gave us opportunities to rest and recovery from the hiking and made sure we got the best experience! Angel our “ Paparazzi” was quiet but took great photos of us!!! The lunch for us was so delicious my husband really felt at home eating this food! 10/10 would recommend and would book again with this company!!! 📸💧🏝️Written 24 August 2024
- karnutz0 contributionsPlaying in the waterfalls!We visited the falls and had so much fun as a family! We had a good hike up to the falls, then went down water rock slides and jumped into pools of water near the falls! It was a great family adventure!Written 23 August 2024
- Chargergirl160 contributionsWaterfall adventureMara and Joni were awesome!! Very friendly and informative about the area. Quick to get us to the waterfall excursion from our cruise ship. Took care of us every step of the way!! Perfect directions on how to find them once we disembarked from the ship. We definitely recommend them for your next adventure!!!Written 22 August 2024
- paynemom0 contributionsAdventurous waterfall excursionSuper fun tour with the kids. The best thing we did on our cruise! It was hot and steamy but when you finally get to the water it's so refreshing. Our guide was nice, kinda a lot of people as they combine you with lots of other tour groups. It was a bit of a walk to the meeting point but not too bad, nice and flat. You can rent water shoes there if you don't have any or don't want to get your tennis shoes wet and have to bring them back to the ship sopping wet.Written 20 August 2024
- Badshoulder0 contributionsWonderful experienceSpectacular experience inside the nature! Fantastic staff , very funny but very professional too! A nice light lunch closed our trip! CongratulationsWritten 19 August 2024
- 762kathryna0 contributionsHighly recommendedWow ! What an amazing experience. Directions to the collection point in the main road were spot on . Taken in an air conditioned van with WiFi ( kids pleaser) to the waterfalls. Looked after throughout, felt safe , great fun. Lovely lunch at the waterfalls ( provided and part of the cost) . Really enjoyed visiting a local community store . Bought coffee which was half the cost of the same product at the port duty free store . Bought all photos and videos of the trip as very very reasonable.Written 19 August 2024
- 747maec0 contributionsPoor Customer ServiceTerrible service. Reached out via WhatsApp to inquire about a group rate and the possibility of creating a quote/package if we were to contract them for multiple Private Transportation events. The agent I spoke with (possibly the owner Rosario?) was not direct with the necessary information needed for a quote, and instead was rude/snippy/disrespectful, and did not have a helping demeanor. Great Customer Service is everything when it comes to running a successful business. I would highly recommend you take your business elsewhere. Plenty of other options in the DR that will give you a better rate and higher quality of service.Written 18 August 2024

My family and I just got back from an 11-day Caribbean cruise, and when I asked them what their favorite shore excursion was, they unanimously said the waterfall tour in the Dominican Republic. We were pleasantly surprised to find the photos and video that Eithan took waiting for us in our inbox after we got home because they were so much better than the ones we got from our "Cell Phone Covers" and they were relatively cheap compared to everything else we spent money on during our trip. We can't say enough good things about this tour, the drivers, and the delicious surprise lunch that they prepared for us, all-in-all it was the perfect day. The hike was a little strenuous (like hiking Multnomah Falls near Portland Oregon, for comparison) I am a 350 lb guy but I was able to make it up and back with no issues.

Great tour guides. Nice cool vans with wi-if and smaller group than the one organized by the cruise. Great lunch off site and additional stops. Plus photographers who captured the fun (for an extra fee but worth it).

We had an amazing time! Papa and Anthony were the best. On the way to the falls Papa told us so much about DR and after our adventure we had a delicious lunch and went to a place that was hand rolling cigars. Anthony accompanied us the whole time at the falls which were beautiful and so much fun. He took photos and videos the whole time to document the amazing adventure.

I would highly recommend this excursion. We had the most fantastic time and our guide, Ethan was charming and took some fantastic photos. Expect it to be crowded but we didn't really feel like it was a problem - t was a lovely environment, the guides made it entertaining and kept encouraging us to keep moving. Special thanks for Ethan & our driver, Miguel(?)

This was an amazing experience It was so much more than just a trip to the waterfalls. I’m so happy we booked with a local group and not with our cruise like. The DSRR crew were amazing and took fantastic care of us while providing us with memories that will last a life time. (The food was phenomenal)

Great trip. Papi was waiting for us outside the port. Had everything ready for us. Personal camera man from start to finish. The water falls were gorgeous. My personal belongings were safe in his vehicle. We had lunch and traveled to a cigar farm. Great experience and budget friendly

We had a great adventure going to the falls. The guides were very helpful and we all had fun. It’s a 45 minute hike to the top. The that’s only 5 minutes in Dominican time. We also had a nice authentic lunch and a tour of cigar rolling.

This was a super fun excursion from our cruise ship. We decided to book outside of the cruise ship and so glad we did. Had great service, fun tour guides and able to do more than we could have through the cruise excursion. The waterfall are low on water and only had 7 of the 12 waterfalls open but still had a great time. Highly recommended.

Epic and SO worthwhile! We were very well taken care of from pick up to drop off! Our photographer - Werbe ('Scooby-doo') and Elizabeth saw to our every need. The guides for the hike and falls were attentive - honest - kept us feeling safe the whole time. The natural beauty of DR plus a glimpse of the locals was appreciated. What an unexpected surprise to have a video and pictures of our journey to treasure forever! HIGHLY recommend DSRR as your guides.
