My wife and I visited the falls using privately hired transportation. We only had time to complete falls 1-9. The cost of falls 1-9 is $250DR (appx $7.50). This was by far the highlight of our Pueto Plata trip!!! The Damajaqua Cascades is an absolute must do side trip for any adventure seeker. You climb the falls and have the... more

I visited the damajaqua cascades about a 2 weeks ago. It was beautiful and great fun. However, a day after I developed a patchy, itchy rash in my legs and feet. I flew back to the US. A couple of days after I developed leg pain. I went to my physician and after a series of tests, I was diagnosed... more

What a beautiful place to visit! The Carribean was warm and perfect for swimming. The beaches we visited were not overcrowded. THe best part of the trip was a day-trip to the 27 Charcos (27 Waterfalls) that was an amazing adventure. It was a combination of hiking, swimming, and then cliff jumping rolled into one. The people in Puerto Plata... more

I definitely had some reservations about doing this after reading other's reviews and watching You-Tube videos, but it was easily the high point of our week's stay in DR. Myself (moderately out-of-shape 45yo woman), husband (same) and 2 teenage boys (16 and 18 yo) did this, and had a blast! It definitely pushed my stamina and strength, and the guides... more

I signed up for thie tour through iguana mama. We did the FULL tour, and most tours are only up to the 7th waterfall. This is a tough day. It is not easy. Even the first 7 waterfalls are challenging. you really do have to have a strong physique and an above average swimmer. You basically walk through the river... more

I've done a few resort excursions in the past and during my trip in DR, I did the zip lining and the waterfalls. I have to say that the waterfalls took me by surprise. I was expecting more of a scenic tour of the waterfalls, but when they told me I needed water shoes, a life vest, and a helmet... more

Well I do agree with people that this is fun and I can see if you are an adereline junkie you'd love it. BUT there is a reason why the European/N.American/Canadian tour reps don't sell these tours - it totally wouldn't be covered by insurance. This is so dangerous, nothing too bad actually happened to me, but I take my... more

I went on this tour of the 27 waterfalls with my husband and college age kids and we all LOVED it! The guides were excellent and the surroundings were beautiful. I am not much of a water lover, but I had done the waterfall climb in Jamaica years before and thought I’d do this as a family. Let me tell... more

This was the most fun I have ever had on a trip. The guides were fabulous. It was the experience of a life time. Our group had a blast. we ranged in age from fourtyish to fifty five and had no trouble at all . When you first see it, you do wonder should I do this? ButI am so... more
