From $149Waterfall Tours in Dominican Republic
Showing 1 activities · Sorted by traveler rating
Waterfalls are one of the Dominican Republic's signature adventures, and the most famous are the 27 Charcos de Damajagua near Puerto Plata, a chain of natural pools and rock slides you jump, slide, and swim your way down through a green canyon. Other falls across the island offer gentler swims and shaded picnic spots.
Waterfall trips are active and wet, so come ready to get soaked. Operators supply helmets and life jackets on the canyoning routes, and guides set the pace at each jump. Wear secure water shoes, leave valuables at the hotel, and book a morning slot in the rainy months when afternoon storms can close the higher pools.

No. Guides offer a walk-around path at most jumps, so you can choose how many leaps to take. You can do the lower pools only and still enjoy the canyon.
What should I wear for a waterfall tour?
Wear a swimsuit, a quick-dry top, and water shoes with grip. The operator provides a helmet and life jacket. Leave phones and valuables behind or bring a small waterproof case.
