Would do any tour with them again!
We had the best time doing the zip-line and waterfalls in Amber Cove with E&J! Melvin was our taxi driver and he was awesome! The zip and dip is one of the best things our family has ever done! Thank you E&J Taxi Tours! Highly trustable and recommended!
Response from the operator: You are welcome! Thanks so much for trusting us♥️

An Excursion You Will Remember!
We were a group of 8 with ages ranging from 9-64. What a perfect experience! Sailing on the Mardi Gras and we were met in the taxi area by our guide Elian. I recommend you plan to go as early as possible. This will help you beat the ship crowds. The drive thru Puerta Plata was beautiful and Elian provided a running description of the sights. It was quite obvious that he is both proud and knowledgeable of his country. Upon arrival at Damajagua, Elian handled getting us checked in and let us know that he would be waiting when we returned. I highly recommend getting the photo package as this provides you with your own photographer who will help/encourage you on the hike up to the falls. The hike to the falls is no joke. I am an out of shape senior and it was no picnic getting up to the top. I was exhausted by the end but the payoff is worth it. The falls are beautiful and the water was so refreshing! Everyone involved in this experience is incredibly safety focused. They are truly focused on your safety and fun! Upon returning to the base Elian was waiting for us. He offered to take us anywhere we wished but the kids were tired so we just returned to the ship. From port to port was approximately 4 hours. Highly recommended!
Response from the operator: I'm especially happy that you enjoyed the Damajagua Waterfalls! The hike can definitely be challenging, but as you said, the reward at the top is absolutely worth it. Safety is always our highest priority, and we're glad you noticed the dedication of the entire team. Thank you again for choosing E&J Taxi Tours Puerto Plata. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you and your family back for another adventure in the future! Warm regards, Elian E&J Taxi Tours Puerto Plata

Best excursion ever. We had an awesome time and everything was taken care of for us. Driver was a sweetheart and so knowledgeable! Would totally recommend.
Response from the operator: WOWWW!! You had a wonderful day in Puerto Plata

Highly recommend! Great communication, fun experience and Jose A. was the BEST!
My family and I booked the zip line and Demajagua waterfalls excursion through E&J Taxi tours. Jose Alvarez picked us up at the cruise port at the taxi terminal, which was easy to find. Jose was very friendly, drove safely and gave us great info on the area and culture. He set the tour up, introduced us to our guide and kept our backpacks secure while we were on the excursion. The zip line and waterfall tour was well organized (there were many groups doing different excursions and with multiple cruise ship guests everything ran smoothly). We were grouped in with a larger tour and our guides were Felix and Flaco. The trail is a long gradual maintained trail with sitting areas for short breaks. I would recommend wearing water shoes with a thicker sole because there are rocks and roots along the trail and those shoes are helpful at river crossings and waterfalls. The lunch was a locally prepared buffet of delicious food and water was provided throughout the day. Overall we had a great experience and would highly recommend booking through E&J Taxi Tours. Great communication, fun experience and Jose A. was an A+ driver and host.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your amazing review! We’re truly happy to hear that you and your family had such a great time on the zip line and Damajagua waterfalls excursion with E&J Taxi Tours Puerto Plata. We’re especially glad that Jose Alvarez helped make your day smooth, safe, and enjoyable from the moment you arrived at the cruise port. He always enjoys sharing information about our culture and making guests feel comfortable and welcomed. It’s also wonderful to hear that you enjoyed the organization of the excursion, the beautiful trail, the waterfalls, and the delicious local buffet lunch. Thank you as well for sharing the helpful tip about water shoes — future travelers will definitely appreciate that advice! We truly appreciate your recommendation and your kind words about our communication and service. It was a pleasure having your family with us, and we hope to welcome you back again someday here in beautiful Puerto Plata!

You can trust E&J to get you places safely. Excellent communication.
We often rent cars while on port days in the Caribbean. So glad we didn’t here! The drivers are super confident and often don’t follow the rules of the road we are accustomed to in Canada. You can trust E&J to get you places safely and reliably. Excellent service. Highly recommend.
Response from the operator: Thanks for recommending our service!!!

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Puerto Plata Challenge: City Tour & 7 Waterfalls of Damajagua: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Puerto Plata.
How much does Puerto Plata Challenge: City Tour & 7 Waterfalls of Damajagua cost?
+
Prices start at $83 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Puerto Plata usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Puerto Plata Challenge: City Tour & 7 Waterfalls of Damajagua take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Puerto Plata is not rushed.
Is Puerto Plata Challenge: City Tour & 7 Waterfalls of Damajagua worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Puerto Plata, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Puerto Plata Challenge: City Tour & 7 Waterfalls of Damajagua?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Puerto Plata Challenge: City Tour & 7 Waterfalls of Damajagua suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Puerto Plata Challenge: City Tour & 7 Waterfalls of Damajagua?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Puerto Plata can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Puerto Plata and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Puerto Plata Challenge: City Tour & 7 Waterfalls of Damajagua start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Puerto Plata within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Puerto Plata?
+
On Outty we rank every Puerto Plata experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Monkeyland and Zipline Adventure from Puerto Plata, Monkeyland Puerto Plata, Puerto Plata Highlights City Tours from amber cove and Taino bay. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Puerto Plata?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Puerto Plata?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
