Overview

Alegría Tours runs this Damajagua waterfall trip from the Puerto Plata area over roughly 4 hours 40 minutes, with about two of those hours spent inside the 27 Waterfalls park itself. The core of the day is the falls: hike up alongside the cascades, then come back down through a series of slides and jumps into the natural pools, with local guides leading the way and a photographer capturing the descent. Lunch and alcoholic beverages for adults are included in the price, and park admission is covered too. One thing to sort out before you go: water shoes are not included, so plan for them separately.

One cruise passenger reported the team kept an eye on their ship departure time. There is a walk of roughly half an hour uphill to reach the falls, which multiple travellers call the hardest part of the day.

This suits reasonably fit visitors who want a guided, wet and physical excursion with food and drinks handled. It is not wheelchair accessible, and the listing advises against it for people with back problems or who are pregnant. Groups run to a maximum of 28 travellers.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points come up again and again in the listing and in traveller reviews, and they shape the day more than most people expect.

Fitness for the hike. Multiple reviewers describe a long uphill walk to reach the falls and call it moderate to hard. The listing says most travellers can participate, but several reviews warn you need to be in decent physical condition.
Water shoes. Water shoes are not included in the tour price, and the listing flags this as the one exclusion to plan for. Reviewers who did the falls route mention getting fully wet along the way. Bring your own pair rather than assuming you can pick them up on the day.
Lunch and drinks. Lunch and alcoholic beverages are included, with drinks for adults only. Reviewers describe a lunch buffet that was ample and tasty, so there is no need to pack food.
Photos on the day. Several travellers mention a photographer on the tour who shoots photos and video of the slides and jumps. These are sold separately, and reviewers recommend buying the package if you want footage.
Cruise ship timing. One cruise passenger reported the guides tracked their ship departure time and got them back with time to spare.
Group size. The tour runs with a maximum of 28 travellers. Some reviewers had a very small group on the day, and group size can shift when other guests reschedule.

Common issues. The uphill walk is the most frequent complaint, with some reviewers saying it is harder than expected and one party turning back partway. One reviewer reported a dispute over a partial refund after an illness-related cancellation, while the listing promises a full refund only when you cancel at least 24 hours before the start time. The tour is not wheelchair accessible, and it needs good weather plus a minimum number of travellers to run, otherwise you are offered a different date or a full refund.

Common Questions

What Is Included In The Price?

Lunch, alcoholic beverages for adults, and the admission ticket to the 27 Waterfalls park are all included. Water shoes are the stated exclusion, so plan to bring a pair with you. Any photo or video package from the photographer costs extra.

Is Hotel Or Port Pickup Included?

The listing does not state pickup arrangements for this tour. Travellers should check the booking page for the meeting point or pickup details before booking. Cruise passengers in reviews mention meeting a driver outside the cruise port, and one noted it takes about 20 minutes to walk out from the terminal.

Is This Tour Suitable For Kids Or People With Limited Mobility?

The tour is not wheelchair accessible, though it is pushchair accessible. The listing does not recommend it for travellers with back problems or who are pregnant. The uphill hike makes this a poor fit for anyone with heart or breathing difficulties, as one reviewer warned.

What Is The Cancellation Policy?

You get a full refund if you cancel at least 24 hours before the tour starts. Cancellations or changes inside that 24-hour window are not refunded or accepted, and cut-off times follow local time. If the operator cancels for bad weather or low numbers, you are offered a different date or a full refund.

How Hard Is The Waterfall Hike?

Expect a long uphill walk before you reach the waterfalls, which reviewers describe as moderate to hard and roughly half an hour or more of climbing. The return trip goes down through slides and jumps in the falls. The listing says most travellers can participate, but several reviewers stress you should be in good physical condition.

What Should I Bring?

Bring water shoes, since the listing states they are not included. The listing does not give a packing list, so check the booking page for further guidance.
