Le Tarbenáculo - Arguably the best thing I did on this trip. It was a daunting hike but the views were so worth it. I would do it again. Might I add the breakfast and lunch was very delicious .

Unforgettable experience - We had a great experience starting with a timely pick up by our guide Victor. Before the tour we got valuable recommendations regarding what to wear, what to take with us, and what to expect. We had a very small group of five, including our incredible tour guide. We had a nicely paced hiking through the multiple waterfalls, including swimming in the clear refreshing water with spectacular views around us. Included breakfast and lunch were very delicious. We also got to taste a local coffee and highly recommend it! The overall experience was amazing and we enjoyed every minute of the trip! Highly recommend this unforgettable experience!

Amazing hope through the mountains! - This tour exceeded all of my expectations. I have been on waterfall hikes all over the world (S.Africa, Hawaii, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico) and while I thoroughly enjoyed them, they have never been as fun and exciting as this tour with Fredny. The authentic Dominican meals we had were delicious and freshly made. Fredny was very accommodating and adjusted the tour based on our abilities throughout the hike. We had a great time and I will forever remember this trip as one of the best excursions I’ve taken. Definitely recommend this tour for anyone who wants to be wowed!

Adventurous yet peaceful experience with clear natural pools and gorgeous nature - This was my first activity in the DR, and still among the top - an adventurous yet really peaceful trek as you go up the multiple waterfalls and swim in the clear blueish water while the lush green nature surrounds you anywhere you look, including up! The breakfast and lunch are also delicious. Ronnie is also a fantastic guide! friendly, on time, funny, and really knowledgeable and passionate about his country and its nature. I joined a group of only another 3 travelers and we had virtually the entire hike for ourselves, which just made the experience even better. I truly recommend this to anyone that likes to see a little more of the "Real" DR and isn't afraid to get a "bit" wet. 5/5

An experience of a lifetime - It was an amazing experience, where I was able to step out of my comfort zone.From the very beginning Ronnie was on time for pickup. While on our way we enjoyed fantastic scenery, great food and conversation. The hike was amazing and we were guided along with care and encouragement. This is definitely one to add to your list.

Authentic and invigorating experience! - We had a wonderful time on this adventure! a few days before the trip started, Ronnie messaged our group in WhatsApp to explain the logistics of pick up, etc. our tour guide, Victor, was on time (picked us up at 6am on the dot) and explained everything to us during the 2 hour ride there. The breakfast before and lunch after was very authentic with a beautiful mountain view. Victor was a great tour guide! You will be in and out of the water - so definitely wear some light hiking shoes with good grip because you will be hiking through rocks & it will be somewhat slippery. We went in March and the water was cold (15C) but definitely bearable! We brought a waterproof backpack & kept our phones and water bottle in it. Victor also brings one & can hold your phone in his bag. It was a very fun experience and we would definitely do it again. I wouldn’t recommend this if you are brand new to hiking and/or can’t hike through rocks or don’t like swimming!

Great adventure👍 - This trip was a great adventure. One of the best day tours I have taken. Be prepared for very cold water, and insist that the tour also includes Tiana falls nearby.

A must do adventure in the DR - Great experience. Try to enjoy the journey to and from the waterfall. Traveling that far inland to remote areas and seeing Dominican life away from the busy areas was great. The tour guides, my new amigos, Victor and Llacon, hope I spelled his name correctly, were fantastic! They add so much to the journey. The hike was amazing and the waterfall. The pictures online don’t do it justice, need to see in person. This will be the highlight of my DR vacation. Be prepared for a long day, but a fun, rewarding day. The pick ups in the morning were on time and communication was great. Mucho gracias amigos.
