Beautiful hike and excellent organization - For me, this was an unforgettable experience that definitely sets itself apart from the usual beach/ island trips. Jonathan is a great guide and everything from the pickup to the hike, lunch and drop off was excellently planned and communicated. The hike itself feels adventurous but not at all strenuous, since there are plenty of swim breaks in the gorgeous natural pools of the river. 10/10 would recommend

Amazing experience hiking... - Amazing experience hiking and enjoying the river. Jonathan is a wonderful guide and did a great job taking care of everything and taking pictures of me. Enjoyed nice brunch of local countryside Dominican cuisines and dishes. He recommended couple of Dominican milk-based sweets/deserts and they were amazing!!! This is a great tour to see and experience beautiful countryside (mountains, rivers, farms, etc.) with nice drive from Santo Domingo.

Unforgettable - All encounters were worth the hike! Such a peaceful and beautiful trip. I would do it again! Jonathan our tour guide was super helpful and very nice! If you are thinking about it don’t think twice. We had an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend and don’t forget good water hiking shoes.

Recommend if you want to see some of the countryside - I live in the Caribbean on an island so I was looking for alternative excursions that didn’t include the beach or islands. This was a good option to get out of Santo Domingo and see a different part of the countryside. Even though the hike was more on the adventurous side, you had to climb over rocks and boulders and you do have to walk through the river at times, it’s not too strenuous. Do not bring a lot of stuff with you for the hike because you won’t need it. You can leave your stuff in the car at the parking. Even after you go swimming you’ll be mostly dry by the time you get back to the car. Johnathan was a friendly and helpful guide and the lunch was delicious. Would definitely recommend this tour if you’re looking for alternative activities to the beach or just want to get out of the city for a few hours.

Get off the beach and into a river - Expect a moderate to difficult hike. It’s about an hour and a half drive from Santo Domingo. Jonathan my tour guide was good at letting me stay as long or as short as I wanted. The only thing I would say is if you are going to wear shoes don’t wear socks as we crossed the river a few times.
