Hiking the 27 Waterfalls of Damajagua Tour from Santo Domingo

Embark on one of the Dominican Republic’s most thrilling eco-adventures: the 27 Waterfalls of Damajagua, departing directly from Santo Domingo. This full-day tour blends stunning natural landscapes, adrenaline-filled fun, and authentic Dominican culture.

Your day begins with an early morning pickup in Santo Domingo and a scenic drive to the lush mountains of Puerto Plata. Upon arrival at Damajagua, professional local guides will provide helmets, life vests, and a full safety briefing before the adventure begins.

The hike through tropical forests and rustic trails leads you to a series of breathtaking waterfalls. From here, the real fun starts: jump into crystal-clear pools, slide down smooth natural rock chutes, and swim in refreshing waters. Each fall offers a unique thrill, from exciting leaps to playful natural slides.

Important note: While the site is known as the 27 Waterfalls, not all 27 are accessible year-round. Depending on rainfall and water levels, typically 7 to 12 cascades are open. Access to all 27 is rare, but every experience guarantees excitement, swimming, and adventure.

After the adventure, enjoy a traditional Dominican lunch, with time to relax and share memories before returning to Santo Domingo in the afternoon.
