The Experience

Before You Go

Closed-toe shoes only

Wear sturdy sneakers or trail shoes — flip-flops aren’t allowed during activities and the mine track is rocky.

Bring swimwear and a towel

The waterfall pool and Mega Splash landing are highlights—pack a swimsuit and quick-dry towel to change into right after.

Hydrate and time it right

Morning departures are cooler and dust is lighter; bring water and rehydrate after the buggy leg and zipline.

Secure valuables

Personal items aren’t allowed on rides—use on-site lockers to avoid damage or loss.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Ask guides for the small lookout above the waterfall—views of the coastal plain are surprisingly broad.
  • The recreated village demo often includes hands-on mamajuana mixing; arrive early to see the full presentation.

Wildlife

  • Green iguanas sunning on rocks
  • Tropical birds such as palm tanagers and egrets near water features

Conservation Note

The park encourages staying on marked trails and avoiding single-use plastics; reef and freshwater protection are local priorities—don’t feed wildlife or disturb vegetation.

Eastern Dominican Republic grew into a tourism hub in the late 20th century; the park layers entertainment over older agricultural and small-scale mining landscapes.
