You will meet your guide outside your Taino Bay cruise port and get ready to take a leap - again, and again, and again! Up to 30 guests will go on this adventure, beginning in air-conditioned transportation for a short 25-minute and narrated drive through the countryside to Damajagua River and its famous waterfalls. The Twenty-Seven Waterfalls of Rio Damajagua are hidden away in the Northern Corridor mountain range and are unlike any other place on earth. 

After arriving at your shore excursion base camp, you will be given safety equipment - consisting of a helmet and life vest - and a briefing. Ready? You will cross rivers and streams before the Damajuaga shore excursion staff guide leads you on an uphill hike of about 40 minutes to reach the top of the falls accompanied by a specially trained member of the "Jump Crew"! What does up, must come down...and to get down you must jump and slide down the falls. Time to take that leap you've been thinking about, down into the naturally formed pools or sliding down the natural waterslides carved over the centuries. This is an excursion only for those who are adventurous and physically fit (please see the restrictions and notes). This unique Puerto Plata shore excursion is both safe and fun.

This excursion is not recommended for smaller, younger children due to the amount of physical activity level. All adults must be in good physical condition. Once you go up the hillside, the only way down is to jump. If this is too active for you and you still want to see the falls, please check out our Taino Bay Puerto Plata Waterfall Hike and Swim Excursion which does not have any jumping involved.

Following this amazing adventure excursion, you will change into dry clothes and prepare for a fun return trip back to the port. You will receive a rum punch on your ride back to your Taino Bay cruise port. You will be back in time to enjoy the Taino Bay Cruise Center.
