Great excursion, would recommend. Read review. - Fun excursion with great guides. Claudio and Manuel were helpful and accommodating.
Waterfall
Water fall tour is not for those in poor physical condition. It is moderate to hard. 35 minutes of uphill walking, in water shoes. You can only take things with you that WILL get wet. You will hike up hill and then traverse back down though slides and jumps within the water falls.
Coffee making, etc.
Nice demonstration of how to coffee beans and coco beans are roasted and ground. Opportunity to purchase beans and carved souviners.
Cigar factory
Small show and tell of various natural fruit trees, etc. Demonstration of Cigar rolling. Opportunity to try a cigar and purchase. Mamajuana tasting and Opportunity to purchase.
Overall
No alcoholic drinks provided, even though called out in tour explanation. "Paparazzi " photographer along for the entire tour. Great if you are prepared and want to spend $60 on photos... sort of rubbed us the wrong way though. Not a hard sell, but felt obligated... didn't purchase.
Would recommend the tour. Worth the money. Overall it was a good experience with nice and courteous guides. My fiance and I booked a group tour, but we were on this tour solo due to no other booking.

Much better than an onboard excursion - Manuel and his team were absolutely excellent. They were there on time and provided an extremely professional and courteous service. They made our trip extremely memorable and the hike up the falls was not bad at all if you're even remotely in shape. They made it a point they made it a point to have us back at least 45 minutes prior to boarding and even picked us up an hour before the tour was scheduled. Overall I would not hesitate to book them again.

Unforgettable Waterfall Experience - Our tour guide Pedro was amazing & took great care of us. The experience to the Waterfalls was an experience everyone to Puerto Plata should definitely take. Definitely recommend Alegria Tours. The process from beginning of buying tour to drop off was seamless.

Great experience - The pickup was flawless. Our guide Jonathan makes sure that we got to everywhere. The waterfall hike was medium challenging, they will let you take a breath on the way. Jumps were so fun. Definitely one of the excursions that you should do if you are in Puerto Plata

Spectacular Experience - Wow! What an experience! From jumping into and sliding down this famous waterfalls was very exciting. Our travel guide picked us up timely and was mindful of our return to the sea port with ample time to get on the ship. Guides at the falls were very experienced and knowledgeable. Lunch buffet was more than ample and was very tasty 😋.

Excellent with Jonathan - It was a great day with Jonathan. He picked us up in Sosúa, and we set off to see how to make coffee. After that, we went to the Waterfall. The experience was excellent. He was able to take photos and videos of us. I recommend you buy them. What's more, he always has the word to make us laugh or answer our questions.
I recommend him!

Super fun and well coordinated to get us back to cruise ship in plenty of time. - This was a super fun experience. Manuel met us outside the cruise port (you have to go through the Taino bay taxi pickup area and out onto the road) and was very friendly and informative while he drove us to the waterfalls. We mentioned that we had to be back to the cruise ship by a particular time and so Manuel made a point with the guide to ensure that we completed the waterfall tour within the required timeframe. We met the fun guide Victor and the friendly photographer Jonathon and went to the falls with 4 other people. The experience was a lot of fun. You can either jump, slide or take the ladder down each falls (all approximately 10 feet high). I am a wimp so didnt jump but took the slides which were still quite thrilling :). Jonathon really took the time to take plenty of photos and videos to create a cool video of the experience. Manuel was there for us when we got back down, was friendly and informative and kindly dropped us back into town for so we could walk around before we went back to the ship. Timing worked out perfectly thanks to the efforts of Manuel, Victor and Jonathan. Highly recommended.

Great experience! - The waterfall experience was wonderful. The advertised picture was a little misleading because we did not ride on an open air bus, we had a private cab. It is about 15 to 20 minute walk outside of the cruise port to get to the driver for the waterfall adventure. A lot of walking is involved- you definitely need to be in good physical condition!
