Fun experience, even if you’re not a hiker! - I did the Tabernaculo hike with Ronnie. We were a small group of 4 people including him. He was an incredibly experienced and reassuring guide and we all felt very safe. He shared lots of interesting information with us throughout the whole trip and went out of his way to accommodate us. The pickup was punctual and the car was spacious and clean. The hike was super fun and we got to go on a natural waterslide - definitely a highlight. I am not an experienced hiker but the hike was absolutely doable and not at all too long. Ronnie made sure everyone was doing okay the whole time and we got to decide where we wanted to stay for how long. After the hike we were served an authentic and delicious Dominican meal which we absolutely enjoyed. 100% recommend!

Amazing! - A fantastic experience and Randolph was the absolute best guide, making sure we were safe and having fun. We took our time to enjoy the scenery and the adventure. Lunch was also great (they're able to cater for vegetarians which was very much appreciated). Absolutely loved it, would do it again, and would definitely recommend.

Escape the city to the beauty of the highlands - If you want to see some of the beauty of the Highlands in the DR and pretend you're a kid again climbing over rocks and up/down waterfalls, I highly recommend this tour. It's a long windy road to get there (take your motion sickness tablets!) But it's well worth it. The ravine we walked through is beautiful. Ronnie is an excellent guide and ensured even those a little less sure about swimming through the plunge pools were able to do it. We were also given a very large, traditional lunch (around 3pm) which was excellent too!

The best experience - I have done many routes before, but this has certainly been the best hiking experience I have ever had and much of that was thanks to our amazing guide, Dely. It is super well prepared, explains everything clearly, and is always there to help and motivate you throughout the tour. From walking on beautiful trails, taking to the lake, sliding on natural rock slides, to exploring breathtaking scenery, it was all spectacular. At one point I hit my leg with a rock and got a little scared, and Dely came right away to make sure I was okay. You rating that he really cares about people and knows what he does. He also carried a waterpack, offered to charge our cell phones, and without us asking him, took many photos and videos that became unforgettable memories. After the hike, he took us to a beautiful ranch where we ate authentic Dominican food with a spectacular view of nature. I'll never forget this experience with Dely. She's certainly the best guide I've ever had. Highly recommended!

Great adventure with Fredny! - We had a great experience. despite the tense moment with a tourist refusing to wear a life vest. Fredny, our tour guide, was able to handle the situation calmly and effectively, ensuring everyone's safety. His accommodating nature and dedication to the group clearly made a positive impact on our experience. We definitely had a memorable adventure and people who made it special! The scenery is breath taking!

A hike that's surpassed my former favorite Hawaiian hike Ka'au Crater! - This has been the best tour I've ever been for a hike with waterfalls! Randolph was an awesome guide, very knowledgeable, trustworthy, and a great leader. I look forward to future tours with La EX Tours! This Tabernacle Thundering Waterfall hike is a must!! For those who cannot attend, ask for accommodations so they can enjoy the small town destination where we parked and had breakfast and lunch. Cheers.
