3.Damajagua The 7 waterfalls excursion – Amber Cove & Taino bay

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 502 reviews · from $54Best value

Hike through forest to Damajagua’s natural pools, then jump, swim, and slide through the falls with park guides. Mara, Elizabeth, Claudio, or another local host may lead the day. Round-trip port transport, safety gear, Dominican lunch, coffee, chocolate, and fruit stops are included.

“Would highly recommend this excursion. We are in our 60’s. We were on a cruise and they met us at the port (much smaller group than the cruise ship excursion). There is quite a bit of walking, most of it uphill, but you take several breaks along the way and they give you a bottle of water. The slides and jump were exhilarating. We loved it. Our guide, Na Na “Monkey,” was fantastic making sure we were safe and he took lots of pictures of us.”

Photographer was a little pushy on making the pictures but in the end he didn’t insist on buying them. I feel like the trip could be a tiny bit cheaper though.”

9.Excursion in Damajagua’s 7 Waterfalls

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 177 reviews · from $60

Guides such as Santos, Luis, Alfredo, Felix, and Giovanni are praised for safety and humor. Expect a strenuous uphill walk, slippery rocks, crowds, and optional photos.

“The hike to get there was a lot of stairs and steep incline. It was rough but I kept telling myself it would be worth it and it was! The air was so humid that it was hard to get a good breath. But once we got to the water, it was exhilarating! Beware that the rocks are slippery and ground is uneven. My daughter and I went on this excursion together and I'm glad we did! Our driver to the falls and back to the port was so nice! He stopped at a roadside market to buy us a few mangos. He washed them, and peeled them for us…”
