    We had a great experience starting with a timely pick up by our guide Victor. Before the tour we got valuable recommendations regarding what to wear, what to take with us, and what to expect. We had a very small group of five, including our incredible tour guide. We had a nicely paced hiking through the multiple waterfalls, including swimming in the clear refreshing water with spectacular views around us. Included breakfast and lunch were very delicious. We also got to taste a local coffee and highly recommend it! The overall experience was amazing and we enjoyed every minute of the trip! Highly recommend this unforgettable experience!

    This tour exceeded all of my expectations. I have been on waterfall hikes all over the world (S.Africa, Hawaii, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico) and while I thoroughly enjoyed them, they have never been as fun and exciting as this tour with Fredny. The authentic Dominican meals we had were delicious and freshly made. Fredny was very accommodating and adjusted the tour based on our abilities throughout the hike. We had a great time and I will forever remember this trip as one of the best excursions I’ve taken. Definitely recommend this tour for anyone who wants to be wowed!

    This was my first activity in the DR, and still among the top - an adventurous yet really peaceful trek as you go up the multiple waterfalls and swim in the clear blueish water while the lush green nature surrounds you anywhere you look, including up! The breakfast and lunch are also delicious. Ronnie is also a fantastic guide! friendly, on time, funny, and really knowledgeable and passionate about his country and its nature. I joined a group of only another 3 travelers and we had virtually the entire hike for ourselves, which just made the experience even better. I truly recommend this to anyone that likes to see a little more of the "Real" DR and isn't afraid to get a "bit" wet. 5/5

    El Tabernáculo. This is the highlight of the activity. We start with a strech up, then we get into the river and hike upstream. Along the way, we will find lots of beatiful swimming holes and little waterfalls. At some points, we´ll have to climb. The way is rather challenging; completely doable, though. At the end of the way up, we´ll find El Tabernáculo, which is a majestic thundering waterfall. You´ll get surprised by the way it looks in person. There we can swim or just enjoy the view and relax. Then we hike the same way back, dowmstream. But this time will be funnier, since we are taking some waterslides and jumps into the beautiful swimming holes we find along the way. The total hike from start to finish is around 4-5 hours
