Our guide, Carlos, made the experience very memorable and exciting. He’s speaks English very well, so don’t worry about any language barriers.
He is also very friendly and down to earth. For example, Carlos and I chatted for awhile about a mountain biking which was a common interest. In other words, he was very welcoming and it made the waterfall jumping/sliding tour even better than we expected.
For the waterfall portion of the tour, we were with two other couples, so it was a small group which gave us plenty of time to enjoy to take videos/photos.
The van ride from the cruise port was scenic and quick. The facilities at the bottom of the waterfalls were very nice and maintained with showers and bathrooms to change into dry clothes.
If you do, bring a camera, make sure that it’s waterproof and has a some sort of leash to stay attached to you because you will be swimming in deep water for a short periods of time and there are other parts that could cause you to lose it. Also, if you need to wear glasses, use a strap to hold them on.
After the waterfalls, we had a delicious buffet lunch with a huge bottle of included rum
Thank you Carlos and Fernando!

We loved the moderate hike up to the top and the thrilling jumping and sliding down waterfalls, as well as the fun but more calm time walking through river between waterfalls on the way down! Such a unique way to experience the beautiful surroundings. We also loved our tour guides- Carlos and Fernando! Very friendly, and they created a fun, easy, and stable setting to enjoy this excursion. Thank you for a wonderful experience to be in the nature, waterfalls, and beauty of Amber Cove.
If you like adventure - this is a must do!

Outstanding excursion! It starts with a bit of a walk to get outside the port area. Clear directions on the paperwork and plenty of friendly people to help out. The hike up the mountain was mild/moderately strenuous but they take breaks at appropriate intervals. The falls and slides were outstanding and the company staff and park people were great!
Highly recommend!
Amazing experience

Best Excursion or Day Trip!! 20/10 Recommend

My husband and I went on a 10 day cruise and this was the highlight of our trip!!! This was by far the best excursion we have had over the years. Our guides- Chael and Felox from the park, and Carlos from Iguana Mama, we’re fantastic! And I cannot say enough about how much fun we had with them and how much the elevated our experience. It is higher on the scale for activity level, so be prepared to walk a little over a mile up hill and then jump off cliffs and walk through a small river. But it is beyond worth it! 20/10 recommend!
Great excursion from our cruise ship

Loved the smaller-group waterfall excursion compared to the huge group trip offered through NCL. The number of waterfalls was reduced due to low rainfall, but it was plenty to have a great time with fun guides. Warning that there was about a 15 minute walk to get from the cruise ship to the van in Amber Cove.
Best guide on the island

We had an awesome time on this excursion. The zip line portion was way better than I expected, and we enjoyed zip lining in the rain. We enjoyed the sloths and monkeys as well. Guide took us to some great sites for pics. Lunch was great and relaxing.
Trip was amazing; Carlos the guide was even better!

This is a MUST DO! I cannot put into words how fun and breathtaking this experience is. The hike, waterfalls, slides and fun jumps were a blast and the scenery is spectacular. We are an active family of 5 with kids 14, 13 and 11 and it was a huge success with everyone. However, what made the trip even better was our guide Carlos! We had a stressful morning getting off the ship and Carlos not only waited patiently for us in the van, he was so kind and energetic. If you do a waterfall tour, do not go anywhere else!!!! I would recommend wearing sneakers, not aqua socks.
Another wonderful trip to the Dominican Republic
