About this activity
From your Cabarete, Sosua or Puerto Plata hotel, you will be picked up by your friendly guide who will accompany you throughout the tour. During the ride you will receive some local information of interest and a short safety briefing.

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, 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 tours include 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.

After a 15-minute walk back to base camp and changing into your dry clothes, enjoy a delicious and varied Dominican buffet lunch, which includes things like barbecued chicken and pork, stews, rice, pasta and salads. Local rum drinks, sodas and water are included (beer is available but not included). After the meal, say goodbye to the local guides and board the transport for the ride back to your hotel.

Iguana Mama tours were excellent. We did the full 27 waterfalls. It was better than advertised. The hike up was a little strenuous, but is doable for most anyone. I do recommend that you wear the old running shoes they recommend. I wore water shoes with a thin sole and paid the price with bruised feet from walking through the river on uneven and sometimes sharp rocks.

We only did the 12 waterfall tour but the biggest thing that people need to know is the physical exertion needed for this trip. Dont attempt this if you are not in fairly decent shape. It is a challenging climb to get to the starting point and challenging hiking out after the waterfall tour is done. The other thing I did wrong is to have REALLY GOOD water shoes with very sturdy supportive soles or better yet running shoes that you are ok with getting wet. You have to walk over a lot of unsteady rocks through multiple river crossings etc. My feet were killing me after I finally got back. Having said that the tour guides are top notch, look after your safety, and adjust the pace if you are getting worn out. There is 2 for each group one ahead and one behind and they actually carried both mine and my brothers vest and helmet while we were hiking up to the start. I wish I had brought more money to tip them, they were easily worth 20.00 US each. You dont have to be a strong swimmer because you are wearing life jackets and a helmet and there is someone there when you jump etc and a lot of the walking from fall to fall is in water you can stand up in but again be warned that this is a physically enduring tour. I probably wouldnt attempt another one now that I know what is involved but having said that I am glad I did do it because jumping from a 25 or 30foot cliff into a pool of water is pretty exilerating.
