This experience was great! We were running late getting off the boat and they called my phone and waited for us. The view was beautiful. You do have an uphill hike to the top but it was not bad. They took short breaks and took pictures. Your group gets your own personal photographer. Our tour guides were energetic and friendly. Most certainly recommend. Life jackets were new and not old and stinky as described in one of the reviews that I read. We wore shorts thinking the slides may hurt but they did not.

This is an amazing excursion!! Read the reviews and do your homework to be prepared. I booked thru Vacations To Go - Puerto Plata Adventures. We started as a group of four at the NCL dock with guide and driver in a very nice mini van. When we got to the site we joined others to form a larger group less than 20. Our guide stayed close with us. The life jackets were clean and in very good shape. I was given a helmet which was swapped immediately with one for better fit. Listen to the guides and follow their instructions … they know the drill and are friendly, informative and caring. Be sure you have a good water shoe that can take the over the road hike. It’s a well worn path, but you are traversing rocks, mud and roots not the beach or your backyard pool. I’m 73 and the 40 plus minutes of up hills and down hills took effort. I paid 40 bucks for photographs and it was the best… Pedro was like having a personal coach.. lighthearted, encouraging and getting pics of the moment. I grew up around lakes, rivers and waterfalls so this took me back to my childhood. The jumps are cautious but not dangerous. Totally FUN. The water is cool but not freezing and is clean. Not clear but defiantly not muddy, kinda grey-blue green. The guides gave a helping hand when needed at every turn. When you get home you can Google Earth Damajagua Falls and say “I Jumped!!!”

The trip in its entirety was “okay”. What we liked: The waterfalls themselves were good fun, the tour guides were safety conscious and fun people. The ride is fairly short, and the area seems safe. The actual walking part was not difficult (mid forties in our group, a couple of health issues, but in reasonable shape). What we did not like: our experience was apparently atypical, according to other tour goers and the cruise guest service, so consider that. First, they did not gather the group at the time the tickets showed. We discovered that the reason for this was that there were not enough people signed up for our package (zip line + waterfall). We were given the option to consolidate to the waterfall-only tour and be refunded the difference, and so left later than we had booked. We got to the top of the hike and quickly bumped against other tours lined up in front of us. It nearly tripled the estimated hike time. They gave no explanation as to why, but seemed confused as to why themselves. Later they told us that it wasn’t normal (as anyone would). That wasn’t so irritating except we hear and later see people from our cruise zip lining! They zipline right in front of our already backed up group and get front of line privilege, further delaying our fun. We got back to the embarkation area with about 1 hour to spare before need to queue up for security to get back on the boat. It was infuriating that the delays essentially meant that we stood in line all day and that was the entirety of our Dominican Republic experience. Recommendations: they have lockers and water shoes for rent ($8 each as of April 2023). The ground is a bit rough, so if you bring your own water shoes make sure they have treads. They provided us with 2 free bottles of water each before heading up, and bins are placed along the way to dispose of them. If I did it again I would have brought a light snack, hiking shoes, and a dry bag to put my hiking shoes in when swapping to water shoes. Actually, if I did it again I would get a taxi to the area and just walk it myself without all the guides. The set price on taxis that was advertised would make the round trip cheaper than the tour price and I could have simply walked past the tour groups that could only go as fast as the fattest tourist. There is a bunch of souvenir shops at the base of the hike area if that sort of thing interests you. All in all, it was a good trip, it just wasn’t quite worth the wait for us, though. Better luck to you.

We booked this excursion through our NCL cruise. It warned that it was for people whom were in shape. Please adhere to what they tell you to do…water shoes, cash for locker, bring dry footwear for post event. The hike wasn’t difficult for us, but many should not have been on this excursion! Had to stop many times to wait for them! Also bring water, they only give you one bottle! If you want the pictures they take, bring cash or have a credit card. The jumps are high, the fall shoots were fun but felt a bit risky. Guides were safe and sound. Listen to all that they advise! You must be able to swim too. Overall great if you are physically up to the task. Otherwise go do something else.

We had an amazing time. Wander, the main guide, at the falls was very patient. He and his team made sure we were well hydrated on the hike up and stopped a few times (to give us a rest) as pointed out native plants. The guys handed out mango from the trail. They made sure our group was together and supervised the slides and jumps to makes sure everyone was safe and having a good time. The staff providing vests, helmets and water shoes were very helpful. The restaurant food was fresh and the staff kept the buffet stocked and areas clean. They were attentive as well. All around a great time.

What a fun family activity! There is a 40 min hike that includes uphill. The staff are very good at providing water and breaks for those who need it, never leaving anyone behind. The thrill and excitement of the natural slides into the caves was pretty cool. It was a great group excursion for our family on a recent cruise. Highly recommend!
