You can access El Limón Waterfall either on foot or horseback. A visit to the waterfall is a feature of many day trips, which typically depart from Punta Cana, Puerto Plata, and Boca Chica. Some tours combine a visit to the falls with time at Cayo Levantado beach, whale watching, or a zipline ride through the jungle, and most include round-trip transport from your hotel, which makes for a hassle-free day.
The falls lie at the end of a 1.5-mile (2.5-kilometer) trail from El Limón town. Most tours include transport, but you can get to the town from Punta Cana by taking a taxi or a gua-gua (local bus)—ask about the destination before you board.
The best time to visit the falls is between March and May, when you’ll be sharing the trail with fewer people and will have the smallest chance of rain. June to November tends to be the rainiest season.
