It was awesome. Our family of 8 had an authentic experience, enjoying the nature, zip lines and natural water slides.They have been many places with unique adventures and said this is their all time favorite. In fact, they couldn’t take their cell phones (they are teenagers) and said they didnt even miss having them as they got to fully experience this adventure.
We had a fantastic day in Puerto Plata. Damajagua Falls were so fun and very thrilling. Definitely worth the hike. Having a private ride to and from the falls with a stop in town to visit a cigar shop and see umbrella street was a perfect end to our tour. Edgar was a great tour guide!
This tour was terrific. They bent over backwards to accommodate the problems we had with the timing. Our guide whose name was Anderson worked with just the two of us. And he was professional, informative, and funny. He answered all our questions.
This was an excellent experience. Not only did we get VIP treatment, but the buffet afterwards was really good. I would definitely do this again.
So much more prettier than expected. You can rent water shoes if you forget yours. They are good. It is a pretty good hike up the hill, but definitely worth the trip.
This tour was a 10/10!!! Our tour guide, Nelson, from Edgar Tours was AMAZING and then some! He was very informative and made everything about our travel experience in DR above and beyond special! From the very beginning our experience with this tour company was simple and very clear and communicative! And the waterfalls! WOW, AMAZING! Their guides and photographers were over the top! Highly recommend!
There were good and bad things about this experience for us. First of all, we were taken to the falls in a spotless, air conditioned car- just the two of us. After this, we were given life jackets and helmets and pointed in the direction we were supposed to go- we weren't sure if we were part of any particular group or not, which was kind of weird. After walking across a huge bridge, we were met by who we guessed was our guide. We began the hike to the falls, and believe me, it was a hike! It was mostly uphill and climbing up steps at a fairly brisk pace. My husband and I are 54 and in fairly good shape and did ok. Others in our group struggled a bit. We hiked for probably 45 minutes up, up, up and then back down a steep set of steps. Once we finally got to where we would get into the water, it was a steep backwards climb down a wooden ladder. We walked in ankle deep water for a while until we reached the first slide. We felt VERY rushed through each slide, and we were only able to jump once. The time in the water seemed very frantic- and that's too bad, because it could have been amazing! There was also some slight climbing on some pretty slippery rocks in certain parts. The scenery was beautiful, but we think they were just trying to rush as many people as they could through the area that it really took away from our experience. After this, we began the hike back, which was mostly level, but in and out of the water. Our driver met us back at the life jacket/ helmet return and directed us to where lunch was. I would skip lunch. It was fine, but just sub par buffet food and a bottled water. Our driver was there as soon as we finished eating, and took us directly back to the port. I assume this is the same experience as booking through the ship, but much cheaper. It was a little unsettling for just my husband and I to jump into a car with a stranger. They never even asked our names or scanned our tickets!
I booked this for my family to all enjoy. I have a 5 year old grandson and 6 1/2 year old granddaughter. I made sure to look at all the given information in regards to any restrictions for the kids. I did not see anything that told me that the kids would not be able to do the normal falls. So once we got there, I had to do the walk to the last small fall (they were not even allowed to go down the small slide at the waterfall) with the grandkids while my husband, son and his wife did the 2 1/2 hour trek up the mountain to the 7 falls. They really enjoyed it. But had I had known that we could not all be together, I would have just stayed at the port to enjoy the pools and lazy river with the grandkids.
We had the best experience on this waterfall excursion! Highly recommend but make sure you're ready for a lot of steps! They give plenty of breaks along the way but make sure you have a disposable bottle of water for the trip to the top. Also, make sure you have water shoes with a somewhat solid sole because there are a lot of rocks and pebbles along the way. Helmet and life jacket are provided by the park. Edgar's Tours was the best! Good communication before and during the trip. Highly recommend the waterfalls and Egdar's Tours!
We absolutely loved having Jose as our tour guide! A big family like ours is sometimes difficult to accommodate but Edgar Private Tours knocked it out of the park! Our trip was exactly as advertised and we felt safe the whole trip. Jose did a great job giving us a full experience talking about the Dominican culture, food and making us feel like family the whole time! We were able to leave our personal belongings in the tour van which was locked the whole time we were on our waterfall experience and saved us the hassle and expense of renting a locker. The meal after the waterfall tour was delicious as well. We would highly recommend this tour service and will be booking with them again if we return to rhe Puerto Plata area!
