Hi! My name is Frank, and I’m a proud local from Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic. I’ve been a certified tour guide for several years, and I love sharing the beauty, culture, and excitement of my hometown with travellers from all over the world. Whether it’s meeting playful monkeys, riding buggies through the countryside, or simply discovering hidden gems around the city, I’m here to make your visit unforgettable. My tours are fun, safe and filled with local insights you won’t find in a brochure. I speak English and Spanish, and I specialize in creating experiences that combine adventure, nature, and authentic Dominican culture. Whether you're arriving by cruise ship or staying at a hotel, I’ll take care of every detail — all you have to do is enjoy! Let’s explore Puerto Plata together — like a local, with a local! 🇩🇴

Overview of your Puerto Plata tour

This is not your typical Damajagua tour. Yes, you'll still hike, slide, and jump your way through the stunning natural beauty of the Damajagua Waterfalls, but what makes this experience truly different is the additional cultural immersion: A delicious homemade Dominican lunch, served family-style in a peaceful rural setting. It’s an authentic, non-touristy plus that brings plenty of soul and flavour to your adventure! To balance out the rush of the waterfalls, I'll take you to a local Dominican home where you’ll meet a welcoming family and enjoy an authentic look at daily life in the countryside. Through meeting them, you'll earn how coffee is roasted, taste fresh cacao, perhaps try hand-rolled cigars if you smoke, and even sample seasonal tropical fruits from their own garden! Taste and interact with locals in a peaceful rural setting.
