Fun day with waterfall adventure and monkeys! - We did not really know what to expect heading into this excursion. There was not much information online about the waterfalls but there’s also not much else to do in that area so we signed up for a private tour with Rigo. His driver met us at the cruise port in a comfortable van and drove us about 30 minutes out to the waterfalls. We arrived early by 9 AM which I would highly recommend as the place is very popular and fills up with tour buses and excursions. We had to rent “water shoes “and then proceeded to hike what felt like a mile+ uphill, and then downhill and down some steep ladders. Through the jungle. This part was not conveyed in any information. It was not particularly strenuous, but it was unexpected and the shoes were not exactly adequate for the rocky trail . It you’re going to take this excursion, you might want to bring some good water shoes which are required for going down the waterfalls. They also issue you a life vest and a helmet. I would say it was a good hour from the time we arrived until the time we finally started going down the waterfalls. I believe there are seven waterfalls that go into deep pools so you shoot down rocky and Land in deep water. It’s very fun and something different to do. The whole experience was about three hours by the time we got back to the base camp there we had a nice Dominican lunch in the restaurant. After lunch, our Driver then took us to monkey home, which appeared to be a family run farm, where they had all kinds of animals, cigar, making demonstrations, hot chocolate, and of course, lots of monkeys. We were led into an enclosed area where the monkeys would jump all over us. They have someone with a camera taking pictures and you are also allowed to take your own pictures. After an hour or so here we were back in the van heading back to the cruise port around 2:30 or so. It was a fun day. I highly recommend Rigo and his team. They took great care of us.!
