Zipline, Waterfalls & ATV Tour at Damajagua - Puerto Plata Triple Adventure
Fly above jungle, leap into crystalline pools and get delightfully muddy on a two-person buggy—all in one five-hour loop from Puerto Plata. Read on for what to expect, what to pack and how to time your day.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear secure water shoes
The waterfalls are slippery and the buggy kicks up mud—closed-toe water shoes or trail runners with good tread are essential.
Bring a change of clothes
You’ll be wet and likely muddy by the end; pack dry clothes and a plastic bag for the return trip.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
Protect your skin without harming the freshwater pools—apply before arrival and reapply after swimming.
Arrive early for smaller groups
Morning departures cut wait times at the falls and give better light for photos on ziplines and the beach.

The Damajagua river carved its channels through limestone and volcanic deposits; the area was historically traversed by Taíno communities and later rural farmsteads.
