Don’t miss this excursion - My husband had a hard time climbing the falls. And we fell a bit behind however, two of the guides stayed with us and took us all the way up to the waterfalls. Richard and Sammy, we cannot thank you enough for everything that you did getting us up there. Jumping and sliding down the different waterfalls was amazing. It is a blast to do the waterfalls and the dune buggy in the mud was so much fun.. Hint.. wear dark t-shirt or dark bathing suit, you will be covered head to toe in mud. one of the best excursions we’ve done in a long time.

Best Experience!! - I cannot recommend Anddy tours enough! Luis and Raul were fantastic tour guides who made our experience unforgettable. From the easy pick up to the detailed instructions and information provided throughout the day, everything was top-notch. The waterfalls were a blast and the hike was manageable for all skill levels. The lunch provided was delicious and much needed after the adventure. The buggies in the countryside were an absolute highlight - be prepared to get muddy but it is well worth it! Having a private tour made the experience even more special and personalized. We felt like we were in good hands with Luis and Raul. We are already planning our next trip back with our kids and will definitely be booking with Anddy tours again. Thank you for an amazing day!

Wonderful experience! - The waterfalls were beautiful but we only got to see 3. The walk to get to them was a little tough in parts but the guides were very helpful. We really enjoyed the experience and we are glad we went! The buggies were a lot of fun but very messy!!!! Our clothes may never recover 😀

Great experience and guides. - What a day!! Our tour was myself, my husband and another couple we are close friends with. We were met outside the Amber Cove cruise port by our driver, guide and paparazzi at 8am. We learned some history of the are while we drove to the 7 Waterfalls part of excursion. I was excited but also super nervous about jumping off the first part to get into the river for waterfalls. I’m not gonna lie, I was shaking for awhile after. 😂 And each waterfall slide to come was also a bit scary, but I lived. And am glad I did it. We were done with the waterfalls by 10:30am and lunch wasn’t being served until 11:30am. We didn’t have time to wait around for the included lunch as we still had to drive to the dune buggy portion and be back to the port by 2pm. It was hot the fault of the men who were doing the tour. Viator should have known all the details of the places they were taking us to. At the least they should give us some money back for that. We didn’t eat until 3:30pm. After the waterfalls we drove to a small coffee making and hand carved items market. From there we went to Dune Buggies. We were given helmets and goggles (honestly they don’t provide much protection, muddy water was able to seep in from above) and then a brief instructions. Then off we went. It was bumpy and muddy. It had rained that morning so lots of muddy puddles. It was fun, but I wish they would have warned us to plug our nose when going through the big ones. I literally got a muddy sinus flush. It was painful. And the goggles lack of suction allowed the muddy gritty water to seep in your eyes. The experience would be soooo much better with good goggles and warnings about water up the nose. After the buggies, we washed off as best we could, looked through our pictures, negotiated a price and were served either a beer or a small rum and coke and then hit the road to the port. We were back with about 45min to spare. Our photographer was the star of our tour. Raul went with us for everything and captured the day quite well. We chatted a lot and found out we have the same birthday.

Beautiful waterfalls, fun dune buggy ride. - This is a fun tour, our guide Jhon was kind and attentive. The waterfalls were a really cool experience, lots of walking uphill, steps, slopes etc, you are put with a large group, so patience is necessary. Lunch after the waterfalls was excellent, chicken, ribs, rice and beans. Then off to dune buggys, splashing around in water and a ride along the beach. This is a long tour, at least 6 hours, I would suggest going first thing in the morning or you will be waiting in long lines at the waterfalls and then be rushing through the rest of the day.

Making Memories - Enjoyed the scenery and waterfalls. Our tour guide Alejandro was excellent. He took great photos that captured the experience. Glad a friend had told us to wear tennis shoes to the waterfalls since we had to hike up hills. Buggy ride was not worth it. We basically rode through mud puddles in worn out buggies. The beach area we drove to was very dirty. Also, there were to many people to tip throughtout the excursion. Overall waterfalls were beautiful, but would not recommend buggy ride.

Beautiful waterfalls pass on the buggy - Guide was excellent took pictures and video on trip for us. Which we purchased at the end. Waterfalls very pretty. Buggy ride was just going through a few mud holes. At end of trip I noticed I was missing a $50 bill I put my items in lockers at both locations so not sure when it was taken so beware of your items you take. Expect to tip several people ended up with 7 people by end of tour asking for tips.

DO NOT waste your time! - Extremely crowded and guide was more concerned about getting his buddy to take our pictures in order to make more money. Wasted tons of time, so much so it ran out of time and we barely were able to ride the dune buggies...maybe 15 minutes. Our entire group had to be back onboard ship by 3pm and we begged Simone to stop excursion and take us back to port. He made no attempt and was more concerned about having his partner take more photos to sell to us. Barely made it back on ship when we should have had a solid hour left according to the schedule...plus we barely rode the buggies. Viator should be ashamed to have this crew on its list of local tours/excursions.
