So much fun
I had such a great time. We were all surprised when we actually went into the river. I didn’t read the details correctly. I thought it was just a hangout spot by the river, but this was so much better. We did four different rivers. They also provided us a whole meal which tasted amazing. Michael our guide was great he showed us a nice spot to hang out at for our last hour. I definitely recommend this excursion

Last minute plan
Michael was great to work with. He got in touch with me to make sure I could find him from the port.
Make sure you have strapped shoes for the waterfalls. Also, a photographer comes with so you don’t have to risk your camera. That is not included in the excursion price. Our guy did a great job and got videos as well that made it worth it.
Operator response
Hey David,
Really appreciate your review. Last minute changes as well, but you understood the logistics constraint and bore with the situation smoothly.
Any other time you're in the DR, we would like to hear from you.
