Highlights
You should do this tour if you love adventure. Puerto Plata with its charms invites you to experience the 27 waterfalls of Damajagua (27 Charcos), discovered just a few years ago and submerged in the beautiful hills of the northern mountain range, this natural monument is part of the system of protected areas of the Dominican Republic. 27 Waterfalls is hidden up in a tropical canyon is a string of waterfalls that you can hike to and slide down, swim under, and jump off on your way back down. You'll head up with a tour guide who will help make sure you're jumping off of safe spots, might explain some of the history of these gorgeous falls, some of which have ancient legends stemming back from the Taino Indians who first discovered this gem, and from my experience will just make the adventure even more fun.

3Unmissable Falls but skip this group
The Falls are excellent and should not be missed - the tour however is a pass. Find one that doesn’t stop at lame tourist shops on the way back.
5Incredible Experience — But Be Ready to Climb! 😂
That’s a great detail because it shows how much fun it was across a pretty big age range. I’d add it while still making the physical-demand warning clear: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Experience — Definitely Know What You’re Signing Up For! Overall, we had an absolutely fantastic time on this waterfall tour! From our driver to our tour guides, everyone was wonderful, friendly and helpful. The waterfalls were beautiful, the experience was thrilling, and our entire family had so much fun. Our group included family members ranging from 9 years old all the way up to 50, and everyone enjoyed it! The lunch afterward was also great. A few things I think are important for future guests to know: The meeting point does require a bit of a walk outside of the port/security gate to meet your driver. They were able to drop us off closer when we returned, which was appreciated, but if you’re expecting to be picked up directly inside the cruise port, that is not how this particular tour works. Also, this is definitely a physically demanding excursion. There are lots of rocks, uneven terrain, narrow steps and A LOT of climbing. I believe we were told there were more than 3,000 steps throughout the experience. If you have difficulty walking, climbing stairs, navigating uneven surfaces or have mobility concerns, I would probably choose a different excursion. I’m glad I did it, but my legs definitely knew I did it afterward! 😂 My one real suggestion would be to have smaller groups going through the waterfalls at one time. At the bottom of the first slide, there were so many people in the water that it became very crowded. You can’t touch the bottom in that area, although you are wearing a life jacket, and with everyone trying to swim, move and get to the steps at the same time, there was quite a bit of pushing and bumping. I’m a little claustrophobic, so I found that part uncomfortable, but even members of my family who aren’t claustrophobic thought it was a lot. I think smaller groups, or allowing a little more time between groups going down, would make an already great experience even better. That being said, we had an amazing day. Our guides were fantastic, the scenery was incredible, lunch was delicious, and seeing everyone from the youngest at 9 to the oldest at 50 having such a great time made it even more memorable. It was definitely a FULL day, definitely an adventure, and something I’m really glad we experienced while visiting the Dominican Republic! 🇩🇴❤️🌴
5Book it!
Great experience highly recommend very accommodating for pick up location. Also when my step son over heated from the walk everyone waited and grabbed him a Gatorade! Over the top service! The slides and jumps are so fun and beautiful! Also get the photographer service!
5Great Tour Group
Our family of seven loved this trip, including an 11 year old and two eight year olds. It is a hard and hot walk up to the top, but the waterfalls are so worth it. Edwin Transfers was the best and answered all of my questions before the trip. I highly recommend them.
5Waterful
Worth the hike water was refreshing. You only slide and jump 3 waterfalls so its easy. The last jump is high but u can jump from lower or use the later
