Located in the vibrant Puerto Plata Province of the Dominican Republic, BestDRExcursions offers a standout outdoor adventure combining the thrills of off-road buggy rides, the raw beauty of Damajagua Waterfalls, and an intimate wildlife encounter at Monkeyland. This full-day, 8.5-hour experience invites adventurers to dive into an energizing blend of adrenaline-pumping and nature-soaked moments, all under the tropical sun.

Start your journey with a 30-minute ride through rural village roads in state-of-the-art Polaris RZR turbo buggies. Navigating muddy river crossings and lush countryside, you’ll feel the authentic pulse of the Dominican outdoors far from typical tourist routes.

Each waterfall presents a unique challenge and rewarding cool-down, culminating in a buffet lunch to recharge.

Complementing this wilderness immersion is a guided visit to Monkeyland, where you’ll encounter lively squirrel monkeys within their tropical jungle habitat. Interact safely with these playful creatures, who exercise their mischievous nature around visitors with shiny objects and offered fruit.
