Highlights
- 27 Waterfalls of Damajagua - From the cruise port, we head West to arrive at the Damajagua Waterfalls, one of the highest rated attractions on the North Coast of the Dominican Republic.
Nature has crafted here some awe-inspiring pools, etched out of limestone, with stalactites and stalagmites in a thousand colors. To get to the Damajagua Cascades we have to hike about 20-30 minutes uphill, and then we make our way back down by swimming, jumping, and sliding through the refreshing, crystal-clear water.
-
Country World Adventure Park - From here your adventure continues as you make your way to the zip lines. After the mandatory safety briefing from the trained, professional staff, it’s time to feel the adrenaline on three different zip lines, certified and inspected upon ACCT standards.
No experience is required. Contrary to many other zip line parks you are not involved in any active breaking, like using gloves for stopping.

Lots of work at the beginning, but worth it! - Started slow—lots of hiking & waiting. HOT!! LOTS of people. But… once the waterfall jumping & sliding started, it was awesome!! The zip lines were just ok. We were super hungry by the end & the food was rustic & yummy.

Lovely tour guides, waterfalls cancelled - Lovely tour guides. Our trip was cancelled due to rain and we were only able to do the zip lines. Sad we missed the falls, but maybe next time. I’m giving our guides 5 stars because they were terrific, the zip lines were just ok. I’m sure the falls would have been amazing.

Great experience with a couple hiccups - Carlos and Luis were very accommodating and helpful during our excursion. We had a hard to finding where to go initially. You have to completely leave the compound and go out to the highway to the left to get to the van. The excursion said the van leaves 45 minutes after arrival to port, but we went straight out, and called, and were told the van left already. We ended up getting off the the ship at 9, and didn't leave until 11:20 because we were waiting for others, so that was disappointing. Otherwise the trip was excellent. Highly recommend bringing a waterproof case for your phone or GoPro and your own water shoes. The ones I rented were very uncomfortable. The owner Daniel was also a great guy.

Dominican Adventure - Fun way to experience the Dominican Republic. Tour guides were professional and fun. Scenery was beautiful. Zipline was very short, but they got us back to the ship in time. Lunch was amazing!

Fun! Lots of waiting (and walking up mountain) - First , we went during spring break and it was very busy. We did waterfalls first which THIS company takes you to what appears to be the only company that does the waterfalls experience and there were a TON of people at the Falls - too many. We enjoyed the experience but it was a LOT of waiting. LADIES- bring a pair of spandex shorts for over your suit bottoms- the slides are bumpy and rub your bare skin. I’d honestly have paid more for LESS people - I felt like we waited and waited and waited and then only a couple jumps / falls. The company this excursion was through was nice.
After the Falls we were driven 15 mins down the road JUST out bus, to do the zip lines . It was 2ish and everyone was STARVING but we did the zips first- bring a snack. The Zipline place was GREAT! The people working there were GREAT with my 7 year old , and our entire family.
I realize we went at spring break , and being busy is expected - but imo the water falls place oversold.

Good Experience; Things to Know - We signed up for this adventure as part of our cruise. Overall, we had a great experience. The guides, photographers, and staff could not have been friendlier. Zero complaints!!! Here is what I would say that may help you to have a more enjoyable time. First, the shoes are not the best. We brought our own water shoes, and they were a train wreck. The ones offered by the park are not much better. If you have a tennis shoe version of a water shoe, wear it!!! If you have any back, neck, knee issues....I think I would avoid this. We all like to think it will not be a problem, but it will be. It indicated that lunch was provided....we were never offered that. It was a long day, and we were very hungry when it was all over. There were several groups moving along at the same time, so there were delays at the water falls and zip lines. Have fun!!

No thanks on the waterfalls part - The 50 minutes of hiking to get to the waterfall and back were too much for my 10 year old. It was also quite unpleasant for myself. I didn't know we had signed up for a tour with that much hiking. Then, when our tour guide asked us and others on the trip if we were hungry, we kept saying yes, but he insisted we eat lunch after ziplining, which meant we didn't eat lunch until 2pm. A bit late! If you want a great experience, cater the the people on the tour and don't deny them lunch when they are hungry!
The other part that was not great was having only professional pictures as an option during the waterfalls part of the trip. The cost? An additional $60. Umm, no. I have a waterproof case for my phone with a lanyard that I could have secured under my lifevest but I was told to leave my phone back with the bus.
