Damajagua 7 Waterfalls Adventure Tour from Puerto Plata

Summary

Guided Waterfall Jumping Experience in Rio Damajagua

If you’re up for a real adventure near Puerto Plata, this tour lets you climb and leap down seven natural waterfalls at Damajagua. You’ll get wet (and probably muddy), but there’s nothing like sliding through limestone canyons and swimming in clear pools. Local guides keep things safe and fun—you just need to bring your sense of adventure.

What’s the experience like?

The first thing that hit me was the sound—water rushing somewhere close, echoing off the limestone walls even before we saw anything. At the entrance, a couple of guides waved us over, grinning like they’d done this a thousand times. Helmets and life jackets on, we followed a narrow trail shaded by thick trees. The air felt sticky but fresh, with that earthy scent you only get after a night of rain.

Climbing up to the seventh waterfall took maybe half an hour, but honestly, I lost track—there were so many little stops where our guide, Luis, pointed out wild orchids or let us catch our breath. Once we reached the top, it got real: you look down and realize you’re about to jump into a pool carved out by centuries of water. My heart was pounding. The first leap is always the hardest, but after that? You just go with it—sliding down smooth rock chutes, swimming through cool pockets of water, laughing when someone splashes too hard. If you’ve got a waterproof camera, bring it; I wish I’d caught my friend’s face right after her first jump.
