Real experiences from travelers who have visited the 27 Waterfalls of Damajagua
Absolutely the best excursion in Puerto Plata! Our guide was knowledgeable and made us feel safe the entire time. The waterfalls are stunning and the jumps are thrilling. Highly recommend the full 27 waterfalls if you're in good shape!
Una experiencia inolvidable. Los saltos son emocionantes pero seguros. Los guías son profesionales y el lugar es hermoso. Fuimos con niños de 10 años y pudieron hacer los primeros 7 saltos sin problema.
Amazing adventure! The hike up is challenging but worth it. The slides and jumps are so much fun. Only giving 4 stars because it gets crowded around 11am. Go early if you can!
Did this from Amber Cove cruise port. Tour was perfectly organized, guide was excellent, and the waterfalls exceeded expectations. Worth every penny. Make sure to bring a waterproof camera!
Impresionante. Las cascadas son espectaculares y la adrenalina de los saltos es increíble. El equipo de guías es muy profesional y se preocupan por tu seguridad. ¡Totalmente recomendado!
Best thing we did in the Dominican Republic. The natural beauty is breathtaking and the guides are top-notch. My wife was nervous at first but felt completely safe. A must-do!
