- Jennifer G2 contributionsOnce in lifetime experience to go down waterfalls. Mix of slides and 10-20’ jumps down seven waterfalls. First was 2km uphill hike (harder than I expected due to lots of stairs!) to zip lines, good 5 lines over jungle and creeks. Then waterfalls and moving/walking/swimming through canyons. So much fun! Helmet and life jackets required, women encouraged to wear shorts. Wear water shoes. Lunch included or roast chicken and local veggies. Picture package for $70. 10-15 minute walk from ship so plan accordingly. Tour left time after to visit Taino beach pool and shopping.Written March 22, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jennifer M8 contributionsThis was an amazing day trip! Wear comfortable shoes and your swimsuit! Hoyo Azul is gorgeous and fun! The staff were wonderful and we all laughed and cheered each other on to jump in! Take plenty of cash, as there is an opportunity to buy photo packages that we were not aware of, so missed out, but we had waterproof cell phone cases so we got a few videos and photos.Written December 24, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ana M1 contributionTrip was amazing! Booking with William is extremely easy and pleasant. We were able to book from New York and he arranged everything for us. His brother Fernando and his wife were great during the whole trip, at all times we were safe and had so much fun! It is our second time booking trips with William and definitely recommend him.Written January 21, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- kakkoiSydney, Australia98 contributionsIf you follow Google Maps to El Limón parking, you can easily do this walk independently without a guide. We paid 200 pesos for parking and then 50 pesos per person to enter the National Park (the little green building is where you pay the park fee) and walked on our own without dramas! We first had to cross the river 3 times (sometimes the water was knee-high), then walked about 40mins up hill through the muddy and rocky path until we got to a little shop with a beautiful view of the waterfall, from there it was about 15mins down towards the waterfall. We started the walk around 9:30am and it wasn’t too busy. Of course there is also the option to ride a mule, but we were happy to walk. Really easy without a tour/guide!Written January 8, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Elina MichaelidouLondon, UK501 contributionsIt was a great and fun day out from Punta Cana. We visited Montana Redonda as part of a guided tour from Punta Cana and it was a very fun experience. At the top of the mountain, there are four swings, a few hammocks, some photo spots, a zipline and a restaurant. To get there you need to take the special vehicle transfer that takes you to the top (it was included with our guided tour, but you can also go independently, park at the base and pay only for the transfer). Overall, we spend two hours there but we could have spent more.Written December 10, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- DrudellSouthampton, Canada154 contributionsA nice place to spend half a day (then spend the other half at Playa Entrada, which is a 5-minute drive). The lagoons/cenote are beautiful and the water is just the right temperature and very clear. Water shoes are recommended. Nice facilities and a reasonably priced restaurant onsite. The entrance fee is reasonable.Written February 26, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Bill TOttawa, Canada12 contributionsThis tour is not for the faint of heart and for anyone whom may have back, walking or other health issues such as the horse back ride to the falls and the large number of steps that you still need to take to get down to the falls may wish to give this some thought?
A guide does go with each rider and mine was amazing the ride is a bit rough and if you have never rode a horse before you are in for some fun :)
The falls are awesome the water is a bit cold but I went in anyway :) just be careful the rocks are slippery
The drive to the activity is a bit long and winding in a open air truck just FYI :)Written March 17, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Absolutely worth the price, as we covered a lot of ground and were out exploring for at least 2-3 hours. Be prepared, you will get filthy as there is so much dust. Bring a mask or a bandanna or make sure to bring some cash to buy one there, as there is a ton of dust. Will also have opportunities to shop a bit and you will want to tip and also as the guides are fantastic! If you speak English make sure to ask for Niko, he was the best.
I would recommend renting a Quad ATV for each person as they appeared to be the most comfortable. Also be prepared, you will be driving through remote villages which was a little hair Rasing but again the guides were there to take good care of us.Written January 9, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

On the day we were there, it was quiet so we were able to take our time through the jungle. Some climbing on dirt steps was involved but very doable. Thanks for the awesome tour!Written March 4, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- AS2 contributionsThe buggy ride, the animal farm and the cave and cenote were all great. They tell you not to keep the camera during buggy ride but that’s not necessary. You can keep it. Their camera man is there and they try to push you to buy their pictures. The pricing of pictures is ridiculously high. So beware.Written March 22, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

They usually guide on Pico Duarte (The highest mountain in the Caribbean) but they made an exception with us. They decided to guide us on Mogote!
The hike is really steep and you can reach the top in something between 3-4 hours.
Really good for the muscles!Written October 7, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

we used this ranch many years ago when staying in the playa dorada complex. it was fun then and it was fun again.
they are very close by the complex so transport back and forth is quick and easy. we went in slow season so we were the only 2 riders which was nice.
the business has changed hands recently and the latest owner has apparently made some changes. they have some new animals and some update equipment.
the horses seem to be in very good condition and well cared for. so did the many friendly dogs that share the ranch.
both Angel and Alex have been here for many years and are great staff.
our booking agent originally had us booked with another operator in sosua. we were not too happy about having to travel that far back and forth so we were very happy when they changed at the last minute. we did not ask why.
pick up was on time. the pace was very leisurely. we had a beautifully scenic ride into the hills. some spots offered a great ocean view with a cool breeze while others were sunny and hot.
there is a stop along the way (thank god haha) to rest the horses (and the riders) where you can have a water or soft drink. beer is avail for purchase along some gifts if you like.
helmets are mandatory. closed toed shoes are always a good idea but if you only have sandals make sure they are secured strapped sandals and not loose flip flops.
this is a great way to see the countryside and much quieter than the buggies or atv's.
if you are considering riding as part of your vacation then choosing Lorilar is the right way to go.Written August 25, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
