XDream Adventure: Damajagua Waterfalls, ATV, Zip Lines & Horseback Day Trip from Puerto Plata
One full day, five activities: ATV tracks, eight zip lines (longest 2,460 ft), seven waterfalls to jump and slide, a horseback ride, and a pool with a zip—plus a home-cooked Dominican lunch. This is a high-energy shore-to-jungle circuit based out of Puerto Plata.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring water shoes
Trails and waterfall pools are slick; closed-toe water shoes improve traction and protect toes when jumping or sliding.
License for ATV drivers
If you plan to drive an ATV you must be 18+ and carry a valid driver’s license; passengers under 18 may ride as passengers.
Sun and insect protection
Apply reef-safe sunscreen and bring a light insect repellent for shady trails between activities.
Follow guide limits
Zip line and ATV weight limits are enforced (zip 260 lbs; ATV 350 lbs); the guides will explain technique and safety—obey their instructions.

Conservation Note

The Damajagua falls have been a local recreational site for generations; the surrounding valleys historically hosted small farms tied to sugar and coffee production.
