    Great time!! The people asked if we wanted to order the pictures and we paid 50.00 and still have not received the email to order them.
    Great experience!!

    We booked out trip about 2 months before our cruise. They charged us the week before our appointed date. We walked to their meeting spot about 10 minutes away from the cruise terminal. It was a very easy walk. Our bus was ready and our guides (Myra and Monkey) were EXCELLENT!! We left everything on the bus and it was very safe. "Monkey" was our guide and photographer. He took good care of us. We felt comfortable. Some of us jumped or slid down on all waterfalls and some of us used the stairs. All very safe. The hike was moderate level and they took lots of breaks to accommodate everyone in the group. There were many other groups going too. Lots of supervision and attention to safety. Never felt threatened. Loved this excursion. Trustworthy and safe. Lunch afterwords was amazing!! Monkey took photos, made a video and had them emailed to us in 3 days. Excellent!!!

    Remarkable Experience for fit, adventurous people!
    Todd_W, Apr 2024
    We thoroughly enjoyed this excursion by DSRR (through Viatour). it was a ton of fun, with big jumps, natural waterslides and a beautiful slot canyon. My active family (mom, dad, kids 10 and 12) found it to be a highlight of the shore excursions we did on a two week Caribbean cruise. We'd definitely go again! The outstanding waterfall excursion, lunch at the tour base after getting wet, as well as the stop at the local shop on the way back to our ship, made for a great day. Being early April, near the end of the Dominican Republic's dry season, there was still enough water to do all the jumps and slides on this tour. BTW, if someone planned to do other waterfalls in the Park, please be aware many of those were closed when we went (and not part of this tour, anyway). The tour company was excellent about communicating with us when and where to meet. Our ship moored at Amber Cove. Once we disembarked, it took us about 10 minutes to get out of the nice cruise facility, and another 10 minutes to walk to the highway pickup location. This gave us a big head start on the cruise line's similar excursion. There is a nice, new pedestrian corridor under construction that will make this walk even better when complete. Our group of four joined a couple staying at a local resort in the DSRR tour van, and we drove about 20 minutes to the Jurassic Park-like setting for the waterfalls. We were able to leave our stuff in the van, which was secured. There are likely lockers at the well-developed base area, and there are showers and changing areas, too. While they strongly recommend not bringing anything along the hike and swim, some people brought GoPros or waterproof cameras to use. One person even brought a dry bag, by I don't recommend this. If you choose to bring your own camera, make sure you can hang on to it because there is a lot of force when you land in the water. I used a waterproof iPhone pouch on a lanyard, and tucked it inside my shirt and life vest whenever jumping or sliding, which worked okay. FYI, our guide came along and took photos and videos, which were offered to us for $45US (which is $10US less than the "official" videos offered by the Park's photographers). After using the restrooms (we didn't see any along the trail, so keep this in mind), we quickly got our life vests and helmets, then joined the much larger group for our excursion (~40 people total). From there, it was a good hike, taking about 45 minutes to the first jumping platform. The first part of the hike was level, and included a cool bridge over a river. The remainder was mostly uphill, and included several sets of stairs (some of which were very long). The climb was pretty strenuous, and the trail was in excellent shape. We took a few short rest stops, yet kept a fairly fast pace. Even being shaded and fairly early, we worked up a sweat. There were many signs along the way identifying various plants and trees, too. Once at the top of the climb, we relaxed on benches in a seating area with some water they provided, then climbed down into the canyon using a lot of very steep stairs to the platform where you could either jump, or walk down a ladder, into the first pool. It was fast-paced, as the guides helped everyone move along. Be ready to jump, down-climb or slide when it's your turn. There's not a lot of time to think about it, so knowing whether you want to jump, slide or take the stairs into the water is a decision you'll need to make quickly. The water was cool and comfortable, and everyone in our group had big smiles however they got wet. We swam or hiked the river downstream to the next feature, taking in the beautiful canyon walls and tropical vegetation until we exited the canyon and hiked the mostly flat trail back to the base area. Along the way back, we did pass a couple big groups who were waiting their turns to proceed upward. Overall, the operations appeared very organized and efficient, while still being friendly and fun. Since our tour included lunch, we enjoyed the good local food, served buffet style, in a designated part of the base area's dining facility. There was a little time to pick up a souvenir, too. If you want something that features the waterfalls, this is the place to pick it up. The last stop following a short drive was at a nice small shop where they grow their own tobacco and make cigars with it. There is a brief tour of the cigar-making operations, an explanation of the local amber and other beautiful onyx-like stone only found in Hispaniola, followed by time to shop for local cigars, art, chocolate, jewelry, souvenirs, crafts and beverages before the 10-15 minute drive back to Amber Cove. The service at the shop was very professional and friendly. Just keep in mind the prices were in Dominican Republic currency, so it is helpful to be able to convert it quickly so you know the costs. We did end up buying some beautiful jewelry as a special treat, but feel we paid retail (rather than discount) prices. I also purchased a box of their best cigars, and look forward to sharing these. I was able to use a Visa card, and there was cell service so I could verify/authorize the purchase via text. Overall, this was a five-star experience. We were picked up at 8:45AM, and dropped back off about 1:30PM. This gave us time to also enjoy the Amber Cove pools and waterslides before we needed to get aboard our ship after a fabulous day in the DR.

    Awesome Excursion!
    Jennifer_B, Apr 2024
    My daughter and I had a great time with Mara, Monkey, and Sexy Papi Chulo (Rosario) on 03/24! They were punctual, exceptionally friendly, and more than accommodating! Wifi in the van, lunch, unscheduled extra stops, and a reasonable price for the photos taken while on the hike, and during the jumps and slides! If you're going on a cruise, DON'T book through the cruise line. Book this! You won't regret it!

    Exciting waterfall tour with lunch
    Beth_H, Apr 2024
    Extremely fun slides & jump opportunity. Water was refreshing and hike not as bad as other reviews I have seen make it out to be. The lunch was amazing & the guides helpful, kind and safe. More pictures from the bottom of the falls coming down and group shots in front of the falls would be great vs shots from above. But I understand that keeps the equipment dry.

    Busy falls but DSRR operators were great
    David_D, Mar 2024
    Jump from 3 waterfalls I believe. The other4 were slides. Very crowded and loud throughout river and 30 minute wait once at first falls due to waiting for about 60-80 people in line before us. Tour group Mara and johnie operators for DSRR company were great.
    Absolutely amazing company and excursion experience!
    Jessica_C, Mar 2024
    Wow! This was one of the best excursions and companies to have gone with. We were nervous about finding them outside of the gates and about getting back in time, but found everything absolutely perfect. Believe the Viator reviews. This is a small, family owned business that operates with incredible professionalism and were beyond accommodating. The excursion itself was a lot of fun, but EXCEPTCUST (DSSR) was honestly just as much a highlight of our trip. These guys were honest, took great care of us and we loved spending the day with them. The excursion is definitely for someone in average to relatively good shape. You must be able to walk about 2 miles in total, sometimes uphill without needing support. Some of the slides are relatively narrow as well but the biggest person in our group is about 265 and had no problems. If you struggle to walk over a mile, especially on an incline, this won’t be for you. It’s a good 30-45 minute hike up, but the guides make it fun. There are a couple of small rests where they’ll take pictures and you can catch your breath. If you like a little adventure, this is a great one. There are 2 jumps (18-22’) but there are ladders and slides if you don’t want to “cliff dive” in. The others are slides (or ladders) but once you’re up that hill, there’s no going back so you better be sure to commit before you start! You do have to walk all the way outside of the gates to get to their bus but it was only about 8-10 minutes off the ship. You’ll feel a little strange leaving the safety of the big charter buses and people but once you find them you’ll be in for a really great time. Don’t forget to bring cash to tip, you need to tip the waterfall guides separate from the tour operators and both deserve your tip, they all work really hard! There is a cash bar at lunch after the excursion and also a little shop with gifts, art and cigars so you’ll want cash there. We got back about an hour or a bit more before we needed to, as well, in case you’re worried about not booking through the cruise line. Don’t think twice about booking this! You’ll love the company, their guides and the experience.

    Cliff jumping in the coolest of places!!
    Lori_A, Mar 2024
    Cliff jumping at its' best!!! Monkey, Big Sexy Papi & their team were the best guides!! Monkey took us threw the trails and caught all jumping/sliding on film for us! He was an awesome tour guide!! We had 11 in our group that we traveled with ranging from age 13yrs to 65yrs...the water was cold (as expected) but what a rush and thrill the jumps (and slides) were!!! Highly recommend this excursion for others! Scenery was absolutely amazing!!!

    You have to do this excursion if you are in the Dominican. Our tour guides and our photographer were extremely nice and did an amazing job! They took care of us and even took us to a few other stops on the way back to the ship so we could see the Umbrella Road and Pink Street. We had an amazing time! Thank you!

    Great Family excursion
    Patrick_B, Mar 2024
    We had a wonderful time from start to finish with this family run operation. Elizabeth was excellent and coordinating our experience. They gave accurate information on exactly how to find them when we exited our cruise ship, were very very courteous, and it was a private excursion to see the waterfalls on an air-conditioned shuttle with Wi-Fi. We were able to leave our items in the shuttle securely while we hiked. It was a tremendous value compared to the excursion offered on the cruise ship, and they took us to local restaurant and cigar /souvenir shop away from the crowds, which was much more personal, and we had an excellent experience. They were very helpful and spoke English well, took fantastic pictures and videos that they shared with us for $10 a person at the end of the excursion. The food at the restaurant was authentic and very flavorful chicken, pork, salad, bread, spaghetti, sodas and waters. The restaurant had plenty of space to use bathrooms and changing rooms after hiking waterfalls. We were there with two families and young adults, and it was the most memorable excursion of the trip as we were able to jump off of two waterfalls and slide down three. It was very safe as we were all had helmets and lifejackets. The water was extremely refreshing after the 45 minute hike up the mountain, which was a bit strenuous, however, water was provided, and multiple stops were made along the way to rest.

    Perfect family adventure
    Valerie_E, Feb 2024
    I couldn’t believe how smooth this excursion was. This was the first time we booked off of the cruise ship. It was flawless. Pick and drop off were smooth. We had time for souvenirs. They took us to a small plantation even on the way home. Werbe and Jose were very kind and helpful. We had a lot of fun with them. We had ages from 8 to 76. And we all had a great time. The hike was slick and steep at times but there were handrails the whole way. Great choice if you want a little adventure but still in safe environment.

    Elizabeth, Claudio, Lilo were amazing tour guides, very kind, helpful, and fun! We laughed a bunch together and they made our trip memorable! We enjoyed the waterfall tour as well as the lunch buffet and souvenir shop. There are other tour groups doing the water falls with you, but since this package includes a photographer, I felt like we got a very unique experience compared to others! Was able to leave my belongings in the van and felt safe.
