Overview

Jhensy Tours Puerto Plata runs this three-hour trip to the Damajagua waterfalls from Puerto Plata, with hotel pickup and drop-off included. Transport is in an air-conditioned vehicle with WiFi on board, toilets on board, and helmets and vests supplied for the falls.

The core of the tour is the waterfalls themselves. You hike uphill to the start of the course, and reviewers are consistent that this climb is the hardest part: strenuous and a lot of uphill, but not dangerous.

One thing to sort out before you book: the listing is unclear on admission. Its inclusions mention entry tickets, while its itinerary line says the admission ticket is not included. Confirm with the operator or on the booking page which applies, and budget for a few extras either way. Lockers, water shoes and food and drink are not included; the first two can be rented or paid for on arrival. Expect crowds, as the listing warns that big groups use the site at the same time. This suits reasonably fit travellers who want a short, guided waterfall outing without a meal attached.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points come up again and again in the listing and in what travellers report back.

Footwear. Bring or rent proper water shoes. Both reviews recommend them emphatically, and the listing confirms they are not included and can be rented on site.
Fitness for the hike. Both reviews describe the hike up to the start of the falls as strenuous, with a lot of uphill. It is not described as dangerous, but you should be comfortable with a sustained climb before you go.
Crowds. The listing states the location might be crowded, since big groups are having the experience as well. Go expecting company on the trails and in the water, not a quiet morning.
Food and drink. No food or drink is included.
Lockers and extras. Lockers are not included and can be rented on site, as can water shoes.
Weather dependence. The listing says the experience requires good weather. If it is cancelled for poor weather, you will be offered a different date or a full refund.

Common issues. The admission question is the main one: the listing lists entry tickets as included yet marks the itinerary admission ticket as not included, so confirm with the operator before you assume anything. Lockers, water shoes and all food and drink cost extra, payable on site. The site gets crowded with large groups, and the uphill hike to the start of the falls is a real workout. The tour is not wheelchair accessible, and the listing caps the experience at a maximum of 300 travellers.

Common Questions

Is Hotel Pickup Included?

Yes, hotel pickup and drop-off are included. Transport is in an air-conditioned vehicle with WiFi, toilets on board and private transportation listed. The listing does not state pickup times or exact pickup points, so check the booking page for those details.

Is The Park Entry Fee Included?

It is unclear. The inclusions list entry tickets, but the itinerary line for the Damajagua Waterfalls says the admission ticket is not included. Confirm with the operator or on the booking page before you go so you know whether to budget for entry separately.

Is Food Or Lunch Included?

No, food and drink are not included on this tour. Eat before pickup or bring something with you. Water shoes and lockers are also not included and can be rented on site for an extra fee.

How Hard Is The Hike?

Reviewers describe the hike up to the start of the falls as strenuous, with a lot of uphill, though not dangerous. If a sustained climb is a concern, factor that in before booking.

Is The Tour Suitable For Kids Or Wheelchair Users?

The tour is not wheelchair accessible, though the listing says it is pushchair accessible and that most travellers can participate. Infant seats are available on the vehicle.

What Is The Cancellation Policy?

You can cancel for a full refund at least 24 hours before the experience starts. Cancellations or changes made less than 24 hours before the start time are not refunded or accepted, and cut-off times are based on local time. If the tour is cancelled due to poor weather, you will be offered a different date or a full refund.
