Great time!
This trip was awesome! The people were friendly, the views were great and the buffet was delicious! For what we paid for it was definitely worth it! It started with a nice little hike to really get the blood flowing and then we started the waterfalls. It took maybe 3 hours in total.

Friends and falls
I appreciated the other Trip Advisor reviews because they helped me know what to expect as the cruise description did not match reviews. Princess Cruises marked it as a moderate activity but it was definitely more active and those that are inactive would definitely struggle. We booked the VIP tour so the price of lockers and water shoes was included otherwise expect to pay $8 for a locker and you are required to wear a life vest and helmet for all jumps and slides. The hike is uphill for 45 minutes with frequent stops and water provided. The two guides were extremely amazing, friendly, and knowledgeable answering our questions and explaining the steps along the way. One person in our group has asthma that is triggered by the humidity and she was directed to a much shorter route with only a slight incline directly to the last spot. No one mentioned that in reviews so we were happy that was an option for her and had a pleasant surprise when she met us at the end. Like most said we didn’t humor slide through all of the waterfalls just those that were safest in the park. All of us were a little nervous going in but the water was refreshing after the warm hike. We only had a group of fifteen and one is a new swimmer. She was a well taken care of with guides at the top to reassure her and a guide at the bottom to make sure she was safe. It was a fantastic experience and all seven of us had a blast. We had a photographer along the way and we purchased the usb drive at the end for $55. A buffet style lunch was provided at the end with lots of meat eating and vegan options. The bus guide, Indiana and driver Arturo, were excellent. Indiana was so friendly, kind and had such a warm presence. She explained the city life, food and culture along the way from the port to the falls, and made sure we were taken care of before and after the hike. The whole day was so much more than we expected. Highly highly recommend!!

Do the VIP Tour, bring your own camera.
Booked the VIP waterfall trip through a cruise line. Included lockers, water shoes, lunch, and the ability to bring our own camera. They picked us up from the cruise port, the drive was about 30 minutes. When we arrived, we were all given locker keys, life jackets, and helmets. After we put everything away, they zip-tied our keys to our life jackets for us. We were separated into groups of about 12 and headed up the trail. As we entered the trail, we passed a trail rules sign that said you could not play music. I guess that did not apply to the photographer with our group, I believe his name was Nigel. He was playing obnoxious music on his phone the whole way up the mountain, only pausing it when he made videos of everyone walking by. We arrived at the top of the mountain and saw just how many people were ahead of us down in the water already. I would imagine over a thousand people go through here a day. The line moved steadily, and we didn’t have to wait long for our group's turn. A couple of sketchy ladders to climb down, but from the nearby debris, it appeared some of it had been replaced recently. The water was cold, but we quickly got used to it. We had a great time sliding down the rocks and walking through the river. The cliff jump was great, but the guides were sort of rushing everyone to go. After a short hike back, they cut our keys off for us and collected life jackets. There was a changing area, but no hooks on the wall or anywhere but the floor to put your stuff. It was also right next to the door, so anytime it opened, everyone outside could see you. I opted to change in a bathroom stall instead, so I could at least drape my towel and change of clothes on the door to keep them somewhat clean. Lunch had lots of options, I bit into my burger and found it was still mostly raw on the inside. After lunch, I tried to find a magnet with the name of the place on it, but they did not sell any. We also looked into buying the photos. I believe he said it was $45, but it was just a USB drive with all of the photos dumped on it. Nothing edited, and not just our photos. I don’t think anyone in our group bought them. The bus had us back at port just after 2 pm, which was our scheduled return time, so we had time to shop in port when we returned. If it weren’t for the photographer playing music and the raw burger, this would have been a 5-star review.

The excursion was great....
The excursion was great. Great communication to find our driver Ronald. Waterfalls were great as well as the short stop at some local shops. The waterfalls themselves were great. I wouldn’t recommend the falls for people with bad mobility issues as there is about 30min of steep uphill climbing as well as steep ladders down to falls.

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Damajagua Waterfalls Tour + Local Lunch And Transportation: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Puerto Plata.
How much does Damajagua Waterfalls Tour + Local Lunch And Transportation cost?
+
Prices start at $60 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 Damajagua Waterfalls Tour + Local Lunch And Transportation take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Damajagua Waterfalls Tour + Local Lunch And Transportation worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 15 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 Damajagua Waterfalls Tour + Local Lunch And Transportation?
+
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 Damajagua Waterfalls Tour + Local Lunch And Transportation suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Damajagua Waterfalls Tour + Local Lunch And Transportation?
+
Around 5 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Damajagua Waterfalls Tour + Local Lunch And Transportation 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 Monkeyland and Zipline Adventure from Puerto Plata, Monkeyland Puerto Plata, Puerto Plata Highlights City Tours from amber cove and Taino bay. 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.
