rancho jarabacoa

My boyfriend and I went rafting with Rancho Jarabacoa the other day and it was fantastic! It started off with us getting picked up at our guesthouse and heading out to the ranch, where they served us breakfast and coffee, another couple that went with us was a bit late but the men at Rancho Jarabacoa made sure we were comfortable and we didn't mind waiting as the view off the porch is beautiful. Once everyone was ready they suited up in wet suits and drove us to the river starting point where we were given life jackets and helmets and very clear (and fun) instructions on what to do and when. The guide, Mario, was so fun and liked to make jokes with us while still remaining professional. Overall the experience was fantastic and I don't have a single bad thing to say about the day!

We wanted to go horseback riding with our son, and this place was perfect. We arrived and requested horseback riding (they offer white water rafting and other guided activities), they told us to have a seat while the horses were prepped. I like that the place has a lounge atmosphere, where you can order a beverage and sit near a river while you wait. After the horseback riding we ordered appetizers and cocktails and they were great. I recommend it.

We (my husband and my son and myself) had a great 3 days with Mario - we went on a long walk to see some waterfalls, then a hike up Mt Mogote, then a rafting trip. Each night we stayed at the Jarabocoa River Club which was also wonderful. Everyone was really friendly and the Ranch was very nice with a good lunch and bathrooms. Really nice eco-tourism. We will return to hike Pico Duarte.

We went rafting through the river and it was really fun. We were the only tourists that day so we got a little extra attention. The guides are really experienced and super fun aswell! For us it could have been a little more extreme, but never the less it was a lot of fun! After the work you will get really nice dominican food. Recommended!

Loved this tour...1 + hour hike with our tour guide, Sandy, to Salto Jimenoa--waterfall in Jurassic Park--took our breath away. Bonus--a short swim in paradise! Nice to get off the beaten path for a bit. At the end of the tour, a typical Dominican meal was served--a much welcomed buffet after a hot afternoon. Sandy was extremely knowledgeable and great company. Get away from the beaches for a day and go..so worth the trip. If it's not the dry season and the water levels are good, I'm sure the rafting is also a lot of fun.

We went rafting and it was an amazing experience. We went down many waterfalls including a 3 metre fall. The equipment and boats were in great condition and our guides seemed to be having a great time which added to the experience. Wish we had time to stay for lunch next time. Do not miss it if you are staying near Jarabacoa!

So we went to this place by ourselves (not through hotel). We got a deal, because we negotiated the price! This place costs $50 pp for rafting and lunch. If you don't want lunch, it costs $35 pp. Thats $15 savings per person. We ate outside of the ranch ALL four for $15. And local food is amazing. So really no reason to pay $15 for lunch. We also negotiated a little more and ended up paying $30 each. I cannot recall how long it really took us, but it was enough time to enjoy the attraction. Other rafting places will not offer you such a great deal. (Also, rafting distance is 30 km long). We went with Miguel, aka Cupido and he even trained us on what to do in emergency and etc. As much as we saw, none of the other rafters got the drill from their guides, so go with Miguel.

River rafting is great! We had a lot of fun. Staff was friendly and well prepared which gave us confidence. The place is confortable, clean and beautiful.

Soy de las personas que todo lo planea para que salga bien, especialmente en esta oportunidad que era mi luna de miel, primero busque información en la pagina del rancho donde encontre un paquete para montar a caballo, viisitar el salto de Jimenoa y el almuerzo, entonces les escribi al correo para reservar, como no contestaban llame y hable con el dueño, el señor me dio otro correo al cual volvi a escribir y me confirmaron que estaba todo bien. El dia que llegamos para las actividades no tenian nuestra reserva y la excusa que nos dieron fue que el dueño no sabia nada porque era su hijo que manejaba esa parte, mi esposo no pudo comer nada aun cuando habiamos pagado por el buffet y yo solo pude comer un poco de ensalada, tuvimos que esperar una eternidad para el paseo a caballo y no fuimos al salto de Jimeoa porque no tenian cupo. Nos quedamos muy decepcionados.

Ya es la segunda vez que vamos a este rancho y en esta ocasion decidimos hacer rafting, la experiencia fue espectacular, nos encanto, es muy divertido y los guias te ayudan mucho, ya estamos deseando volver!!!!

Este rancho te ofrece muchas actividades de ocio, nosotros hicimos una ruta d 2 horas en quads y fue muy emocionante, el guia fue muy atento con nosotros y nos lo pasamos genial!! Tenenos pensado volver a hacer alguna otra actividad

Un lugar excelente para compartir , grupo, familia. Un trato muy profesional y un persona muy capacitados, sobre todo los guías de River Rafting. Recomiendo visitar a Rancho Jarabacoa.
