Full-day canyoning adventure at Cola de Pato from Santo Domingo. Swim, slide & jump in waterfalls and hidden jungle pools.

About this tour

Hidden in the lush mountains of Jamao al Norte lies Cola de Pato (Duck Tail), one of the Dominican Republic’s most spectacular hidden paradises. With its crystal-clear waters, natural pools, and canyon-like formations, it offers the perfect mix of adventure, adrenaline, and pure natural beauty.

Our full-day Jungle Canyoning Tour from Santo Domingo begins with hotel pickup and comfortable transportation north to Jamao. Along the way, enjoy scenic views of the Dominican countryside before reaching this untouched natural wonder.

Upon arrival, expert bilingual guides will provide a safety briefing and all the necessary equipment. Then the adventure begins: hike through jungle trails, slide down natural rock slides, swim across turquoise pools, and leap into refreshing waterfalls of different heights. Cola de Pato is the perfect playground for nature and adrenaline lovers alike.

This is not an easy walk — the trek includes steep descents and a challenging climb on the way back. But for those ready to push their limits, the reward is unforgettable: hidden jungle pools, cascading waterfalls, and one of the most authentic eco-adventures in the Caribbean.

After the canyoning experience, relax with a traditional Dominican lunch before returning comfortably to Santo Domingo.

If you’re looking for a unique, off-the-beaten-path adventure in the Dominican Republic, this Cola de Pato canyoning tour is a must.
