Puerto Plata tour with Monkey Home fruit feeding and Damajagua waterfall slides and jumps, plus hotel or cruise pickup.
“Monkey & Waterfall tour was a disappointment: 7 Waterfalls were advertised, we experienced 1 Waterfall and three short slides into water.

“Great activity! Cruise ended up leaving a bit earlier last minute, and Francesco and his team worked seamlessly around that. The waterfalls were amazing, do not miss them.
