    We all enjoyed this excursion so much! It had rained all morning, so we had a muddy ride. The guides took great care of us and made it so fun. We had a couple stops along the way — each with unique and insightful experiences. Not to mention, the views were stunning. The videographer/photographer put together a fun package for us and the price was reasonable :) overall, a great experience and would happily book with them again.

    Loved this tour! It was magical riding along the beach at sunset. Horses were obviously well cared for and the guides were encouraging and energetic. Would highly recommend this activity.

    Guided up to the zip wires on a steady hike. Zip wires were awesome. Five in total I believe. Great fun.
    Next came the waterfalls. Although I felt a little nervous I absolutely loved the adrenaline from jumping and being guided down. Such a brilliant experience.
    I believe you could hire water shoes for $8 but we brought our own. We needed to hire a locker ($8) but that fit 2 rucksacks in.

    Our excursion was hands down the best excursion we have ever done. From the booking to the return to port it was perfect. We were greeted and driven by the owner of the company. He was so kind. He kept in contact with me from the time I booked. I felt very safe with Renee. He is very knowledgeable about the area. We had private transportation in a new van. The waterfall tour itself was incredible. Renee was waiting for us after the waterfall excursion. He kept us informed the whole time. We had lunch together after the waterfalls tour.the lunch was also delicious. I would def recommend using rv tours for your next excursion in the Dominican. Thank you renee. You were wonderful! I wish you contd success. ✌️😊

    AMAZING!!! Highly, highly recommend regardless of your ability / confidence riding horses. The staff are so friendly and helpful, their English is great. We had Pedro & Antonio, both of whom were charming. They took pictures and videos of us the whole time on my phone, so no additional charge for pictures. They answered all our questions and generally had friendly chats with us. They took us through the village and farms and on to the beach, all of which was stunning. I honestly cannot recommend highly enough. For all animal lovers, the horses were well maintained and not jittery at all. Also worth noting they picked us up and dropped us back off at our cruise ship terminal, with frequent communication via WhatsApp explaining exactly where to meet them for pick up (just at the entrance to the port, by the souvenir shops). Bucket list item ticked off!

    Great price and provided everything as promised. Driver and guide were friendly. Below was our experience in June 2024.

    Prompt pick-up from hotel. (Note: If you're in Puerto Plata it's about a 2-hour drive to the destination and they do pack the 26 passenger van.)

    First stop was a small family fruit farm. The family was nice and they walked us around the property and shared the fruit from the trees. This was also an opportunity to buy local coco.

    The next two stops were beaches, with about 60-90 minutes each, and lunch at the second location. The food was good and other travels friendly.

    The last stop was a lagoon that had zipline into the water. It's not for everyone because it can be a "scary" drop, but it is fun if you go. (Note: There is a small $2 charge for the required life vest. Also a small charge for lockers are available.) If you're not ziplining there is a wadding water area or just large beautiful garden.

    The excursion was great. The boat crew was the best. They made sure everyone was well taken care of while ensuring we had a great time. The views were wonderful.

    True five star experience. Johnny and Raymond did an excellent job guiding us through the whole experience, and paparazzi Kilvio was on point with the photos. Even the pick up and drop off was top tier, which was led by Juan. The owner was communicative and very easy to coordinate with before and after the excursion.

    Manuel & Saturnino were fantastic! The waterfalls were amazing… it was SO MUCH FUN! However, I would recommend it to people who are physically fit as there is a lot of hiking!

    Expect to get real muddy but with a great experience. Everyone there was amazing. It is definitely worth the time and money.

    The island and snorkelling was beautiful. They kept drinks flowing and the lunch afterwards was delicious and had a great view. Only downside I found was that a tour of a cigar factory was tacked onto the end of an already very long day. But if you’re okay with that I’d highly recommend.

    Safe, Professional, and Fun!! The reviews of this service did not fail me! I was amazed at the flexibility of Rigo and his team even before the tour began. He was very professional and responsive. We had a family of 9, only 4 of us confirmed, but at the last minute the other 5 wanted to join in. Rigo happily accommodated & treated us all like family. We felt safe on his tour the entire time as he was driving and educating us about Puerto Plata. He gave us options as to what we wanted to do and the times that we wanted to do everything. Lunch by the ocean was breathtaking! I highly recommend RIGO and LEONEL TOURS if you ever visit Amber Cove/Puerto Plata.

    The pickup time wasn’t accurate and we had to walk to the front gate. Breakfast consisted of a bag of crackers and a juice box. I think they booked too many people because there weren’t enough seats. The boat ride was crazy but good and they found a whale and did everything they could to get some good pictures. The safari ride didn’t have enough seats so some people had to stand but it was a fun drive. The horseback riding was ok, typical for a tour but then someone had an issue with the horses and his shoes supposedly got stolen so we waited about an hour to leave. Lunch was pretty good but everyone was starving and they ran out of food. Drinks consisted of coke and rum and a bottle of water if you were lucky. Our driver was nice but spoke very little English and was pretty quiet the entire time. It was fun but definitely overpriced compared to the others. I thought it would be more personal and supportive with the amount we paid but it felt like the treatment was for the cheapest fair. All the workers (horse, tour guides, boat guides, photographers) all claimed the company didn’t pay them so they all wanted money and they are pretty good at adding pressure and making you feel guilty. I feel with the price I paid ($20/person) I shouldn’t have been asked for so much more money. I’ve taken a lot of tours and this was fun but not worth the price with this group.
