We booked a 1.5 hour ride the evening before and they got back to me the next day to confirm a 2:00 ride for that day. The Ranch itself is beautiful. It was me and my husband and 2 guides. Rode the beaches and into the jungle. Horses were great with lots of energy and guides were easy going. Lots of cantering on the beaches which was fantastic!! Highly recommend Seahorse Ranch for an amazing ride.

This was an incredible adventure, nature, the landscape, the attention of its employees was the best, its crystal clear waters and especially living with its people in the community. I recommend it for those who want to live a good experience

This mountain, which looms high above Puerto Plata, has a cable car ride to the top.

Once you get thru the crazy-town drivers, the park is quiet and inviting. Easy ride up in the cable car, and the views are well worth the trip. Enjoyed the tropical highlands on top of the Mount.

Sosua is a wonder beach with warm clear water, awesome snorkeling, and plenty of delicious restaurants. I am writing this more of an encouragement for those traveling to this destination or staying at a resort in Sosua to consider bringing items to donate. Although this country is beautiful there are many living below poverty level. We were made aware of a school for displaced children. An orphanage that houses about 30 children. They survive through donations only. There are times during the year when the kids don’t have enough to each. Jolly Rogers restaurant hosts a Christmas party and provides some support through the year. I would encourage those traveling to the area to bring extra clothing, toiletries (toothbrush toothpaste soaps), shoes and expecially nonperishable food items. I’m sure that Jolly Rogers could get these items to the school. If you have any questions or would like more information feel free to message me.

We visited on August 9th 2019. Amazing experience. We only did 12 falls because it didn’t rain enough to do all 27. Our Iguana Mama tour guide Carlos was super friendly and kind and our driver was super safe considering people in DR drive like absolute maniacs. On our way to the tour, Carlos told us about the great history of DR and that was very interesting and funny. During the falls tour, we had another guide with the national park, his name was also Carlos...2, he was also very friendly and fun, explaining us all security measures and guided us through the falls. The falls were absolutely breath taking, after a 45 minutes intense hike up the mountain, we had to jump in or slide into ponds and swim through limestone rocks. The water was crystal clear blue turquoise and warm, simply amazing. Back home we bought ourselves Shandals (beach shoes, hiking sandals) that was the best shoes to wear ever. After our tour, we had an included DR buffet lunch that was really good and all you can drink Rum and coke LOL. Everything was perfect, can’t wait to go back!!!

Cant say enough about this tour. We had to take a almost 3 hour bus ride from Grand Bahia Principe San Juan resort in Puerta Plata. Totally worth it. Tour guide, driver and Staff were so friendly. Once we finally arrived at the beautiful Punta Rucia beach, we enjoyed the restrooms and a delicious welcome drink, next we started out on a nice 15 minute boat ride, plenty of food and drink, 1st stop was a natural “pool” in the middle of the ocean, absolutely breathtaking. We spent about 30 minutes there, then off to a little private island for about 90 minutes, to snorkle and just enjoy this so very special place. Next, we boated thru the mangroves, then off to the Paraiso ecolodge for a beautiful buffet lunch which included, veggies, rice, fish, chicken and all you could eat lobster, plus drinks. We had a most enjoyable time. Highly recommend this tour.
