The falls were fun but...

Must know info before you go.
While we ultimately had a great time on this excursion, there was a lot of information that was not communicated to us that cost us time, money, and convenience. So here is what you should know. Bring water shoes or sandals that have a back. If you want to bring your camera to take pictures and save $55 for a photographer, make sure it is in a waterproof case of some type. No backpacks are allowed, so if you bring one, you’ll have to pay for a locker. Everyone gets wet and submerged In water. In order to get to the top of the “falls” you have to walk for about 30-40 minutes through the forest with several areas having a decent incline (several older people had to stop to catch their breath). They say it is 5 minutes Dominican time. There are two places to either slide or jump to the area below (in the pond the falls flow into) and on is about 20’ high. I recommend having another way to secure your cruise ID or medallion. They do have little waterproof bags to hold for you so they don’t get lost. The snorkel gear listed is actually a jacket and a helmet. Not actually snorkel gear. Also, there are only 7 falls that you see, Not 27 as the title kind of infers. Albeit, it does say 7 after the 27. Now you have all The info to have a great time. Have fun!

West Family Excursion
The guides were awesome! Very personable and talked about the history of the area. They were very attentive! We also had a younger child with us and they were very mindful of her safety. Loved it!

Amazing Waterfall Adventure — Leury Went Above & Beyond! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We had an amazing experience at the Damajagua Waterfalls! The waterfalls, natural pools, slides, and beautiful scenery were incredible, but what really made our day special was our tour guide, Leury. He truly went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time and were well taken care of. After the waterfalls, Leury took us to Puerto Plata and even to a local beach, giving us a chance to experience more of the Dominican Republic beyond the typical tourist areas. He was friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and made us feel like family. This ended up being one of the highlights of our entire cruise. If you get the opportunity to have Leury as your guide, you’re in great hands. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind review! It was a pleasure having you on our Puerto Plata tour. We’re very happy you enjoyed the experience and the service. We hope to see you again on your next visit to the Dominican Republic! and one more time thank you for choosing us!

27 Waterfalls of Damajagua: 7 Charcos Adventure Experience: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Puerto Plata.
How much does 27 Waterfalls of Damajagua: 7 Charcos Adventure Experience cost?
+
Prices start at $55 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Puerto Plata usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 27 Waterfalls of Damajagua: 7 Charcos Adventure Experience take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Puerto Plata is not rushed.
Is 27 Waterfalls of Damajagua: 7 Charcos Adventure Experience worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 27 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Puerto Plata, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 27 Waterfalls of Damajagua: 7 Charcos Adventure Experience?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 27 Waterfalls of Damajagua: 7 Charcos Adventure Experience suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 27 Waterfalls of Damajagua: 7 Charcos Adventure Experience?
+
Around 9 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Puerto Plata can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Puerto Plata and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 27 Waterfalls of Damajagua: 7 Charcos Adventure Experience start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Puerto Plata within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Puerto Plata?
+
On Outty we rank every Puerto Plata experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Puerto Plata Highlights City Tours from amber cove and Taino bay, Puerto Plata City Tour, Half Day City Tour in Puerto Plata. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Puerto Plata?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Puerto Plata?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
