Additional Information

The Best Damajagua Waterfalls Shore Excursion and Party from outside the main gates of the Amber Cove port in Puerto Plata awaits! Your REAL adventure starts with a narrated, countryside drive to the Damajagua Waterfalls “base camp”, located at the edge of a tropical forest.

You will cross a river and streams before making an approximately 30-minute uphill hike. Your return to base camp will be via a series of jumps and slides through waterfalls and natural water slides carved by centuries of rushing water. Your highly skilled coach and guide, a member of our “Jump Crew”, will be with you from start to finish - making all the jumps and slides with you!

The party starts immediately following your adventure when your coach becomes party host! You will enjoy free-flowing rum punch and lively local music on the return. Your adventure and party is approximately 4-hours leaving you plenty of time to enjoy the Amber Cove Cruise Center.

Great trip with a few tips - I do not usually fill out these surveys but this trip was great. We had a great time but it could have been terrible. A couple of things to help: 1. Do not book this tour through Carnival Cruise ship. If you book through the cruise line they will charge you more money, they will not let you jump into the waterfalls (you will have to slide down the rock slide) and you will most likely all be on the same transportation to and from the park. 2. Bring an old pair of shoes that you don’t mind will get wet. Or wear sturdy, all terrain secured sandals. If you wear light weight water shoes without much of a sole, you will be hurting on the rocky path. The water shoes they provide at the park are not sturdy enough to walk the path in. 3. Bring a change of clothes and use the lockers at the base of the park. You will want a fresh set of clothes to go back in. 4. We paid for pictures (~$45) and it was worth it. They have staff hike the trail with you and take pics of your group. He will get action shots of you jumping and you won’t have to mess with your camera/phone. He took over 100 pics of our family of 4. 5. The hike up the trail is not a simple hike but it’s not terrible either. They will take breaks during the hike up and let the group determine the pace. We booked directly thru Viator and our family of 4 had our own transportation van for the 30min ride to the park. We met all of the cruise ship excursions at the base of the park and we all went in the same group up the trail. We were able to jump into the water from platforms 7 to 17 feet high. The cruise ship people had to ride the rockslides down instead, they were not happy. 6. Our meet up spot was outside of the cruise gates at the cruise port in Amber Cove. A bit of a walk, not too bad, probably 15mins. Follow the directions given and it’s very simple. We enjoyed the trip very much. They were great.

Definitely do it! - Mega cool trip for the brave :-) very worth seeing the waterfalls. We were picked up from the cruise terminal outside the port as discussed. Super nice guide who was there the whole time.

Highlight of our trip! - Definitely a highlight of our trip! Winston and his team took great care of our group. It’s definitely a good hike up but so worth it! There were some groups that only got to do the bottom waterfall (they missed out on some of the best parts) and some that weren’t allowed to jump. Puerto Plata Adventures let us do it all and it was so worth it. After reading reviews, I thought you could buy pictures of the trip of the whole group, but $45 gets you your own photographer to follow you and your family on the whole trip…well worth it (thanks Wilson)! You can rent water shoes there for $2 each but we should’ve brought our own with a thick sole since it’s very rocky. Puerto Plata Adventures was great with providing detailed directions on where to meet in the morning. Our group only had 12 which was so much better than booking through the cruise that had at least 50. Winston did such a great job keeping us all together and making sure everyone was ok. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone! Thanks for a great day!!

Awesome time - I’ll give this tour a 9.5 out of 10. Only slightly disappointed that our tour of 8 people was grouped with the much larger tour from Carnival. Thankfully we were in front of the big group and our guide(Xander) was with us the whole time and was great. By far one of the best excursions I’ve ever done.

The Best! - Amazing excursion! Luis was a fantastic tour guide from beginning to end!! The hike was tiring and not for everyone but the natural slides and water was worth every step! This was one of the best excursions I’ve been on and the memories made as a family are priceless! Highly recommend!!
