Departure Point

Traveler pickup is offered

WE DO NOT HAVE TIME SLOTS. We leave port 45 minutes after your ship docks. A map and meeting point pickup details will be sent to your Viator/TripAdvisor message board. Please disembark as quickly as possible and be at the pickup location not more than 45 minutes after your ship docks.

Traveler pickup
  • Calle Duarte, Puerto Plata 57000, Dominican Republic
  • Amber Cove Cruise Port
  • 27 Charcos, Puerto Plata, Caribbean
    After meeting your guides outside the Amber Cove Cruise Terminal you will board an air-conditioned vehicle for the 25 minute ride to the falls. During the ride you will receive a safety briefing and some local information of interest. Water, sodas, snacks and iced towels will be on board. On arrival at the 27 Falls of Damajagua Park you will leave the transport where you can leave a bag with your valuables, towel, dry clothes and flip flops for after the tour. Your guide will introduce you to the local waterfall guides who will be looking after you and you’ll be issued with a life jacket, helmet and a bottle of water for the hike up. If you want to take photos or video on the tour please only bring waterproof cameras. From this point on everything will get wet! A moderate 40 minute uphill hike through a beautiful jungle landscape gets you to the 12th waterfall or, if you are in excellent physical shape, choose to hike all the way to the top of the 27 Waterfalls (approximately 70 minutes) and experience it all. Either way, it's where your real fun begins as we head back down-river and you jump, slide and swim your way through a series of spectacular waterfalls, canyons and azure pools, emerging with a silly grin on your face and incredible memories to cherish! The tour includes jumps of up to 25 feet (8 meters), but don't worry, the big ones have another way down if you don't want to jump. Once back down at the first fall and after you have taken your time relaxing in the amazing azure waters there will be a 15-minute hike back to the visitor center for lunch and a well earned rum and coke! After changing into your dry clothes enjoy a delicious and varied Dominican buffet lunch which includes barbecued chicken and pork, stews, rice, pasta and salads. Sodas and local rum are included (beer available but not included). After the meal you will say goodbye to the local guides and board the transport for the 25-minute transfer back to Amber Cove. We always aim to get you back at least one hour before the departure of your ship. Please note: This tour is for cruise ship passengers only.

This excursion was exciting one and challenging in some parts. All of us had fantastic time during this activity. We started with hike and then went to the seven falls. It only takes only 5 Dominican minutes :)

This is the second time we have done this waterfall excursion and it did not disappoint again. It was an absolute blast and everyone loved it. Carlos (tour guide) was fantastic and Fernando (driver/cook) did a great job as well. It is such a unique experience I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for something to do in Amber Cove. The pickup was easy, the drive was nice, the instructions and information were excellent, the hike was easily manageable (fresh mangos along the way helped) and the waterfalls are so much fun. It was VERY crowded and it was a little rushed getting through the water but still a wonderful experience.

A great experience with Carlos! Beautiful trek with fresh mangos along the trail (in season). Can’t wait to come back with kids.
