7 Cascate Damajagua e Dune Buggy

Alfredo & Elvin were AMAZING! Been to a bunch of counties and around the world, and these guys were the best. Next time we visit we will be getting them again! So friendly with the kids. They were so informative, and hooked us up.

This tour was definitely worth it. From the pickup to the guides and the photos! Having transportation was so helpful as these places would be hard to find on your own. Just remember to bring cash for tipping the guides 😁

We decided to go with this company because it was much cheaper than cruise line. When booking excursion outside of cruise, make sure your tour times align with cruise port times. Although company was aware of cruise times, so that was great. It was easy to find the tour company when we docked at Taino Bay. Set up of the dock area was a lot nicer than expected, with shops, restaurants and day pass at their facilities (looked nice). Also, great that when we met our driver, it was just us, so we got a private tour. Our driver, Santos, was great! He gave us waters, had WiFi in his car and even gave us all the sweetest mangos. The tour company doesn’t control the waterfall excursion times or guides but knew we had to be back at ship by 2PM, so instead of 7 swimming spots, we did 3 and that was good enough for us and lots of fun. We were 2 cool moms and 2 teens (LOL). We hiked to waterfalls (1/2 hour), through cool creeks/bridge and it was a little busy. You have options to go down natural slides, jump or go down ladder. We jumped off and did natural slides, super fun and nice to be in cool water since it was so hot. Bring your own water shoes, I had sneakers that were also water shoes, but the rest of our group had to rent water shoes (which had seen better days). Our tour guides at the falls were great (can’t remember names), guiding us and taking pictures/ videos for us. We did not purchase their media, so we tipped them for their time and for taking our own pics/videos. Bring plastic phone protectors or don’t bring phones as they will get wet. We were then driven to the buggy part of the tour. You will need the goggles for your ride. I have to admit that I wasn’t sure our buggies would make it, they looked a bit rough and we drove through some streets we probably shouldn’t have been on. They also take you through a Dominican family’s tiny home, with a little shop. I could have done without this part, as the stuff they had was too expensive for stuff they probably made right there. Other than this, we had an awesome time! Wear only your bathing suits, be prepared to be fully immersed in water while riding and keep your mouths closed! It was crazy and so much fun! We were able to take photos with our phones in our protectors but guides also took videos/photos during tour which we purchased because they were amazing. We just split between the 2 families, I think it was $70 total; they Airdrop to you on the spot. Totally recommend this tour!

I did the waterfall and Dune buggy and it was the greatest experience of my life. The hike to the waterfall really isn’t that bad it’s like 25 minutes tops. The waterfalls are absolutely amazing. The water is ice, cold almost and our guide Alfredo was the best driver ever. The dune buggies was amazing you ride along the beach you go through little rivers. I will 1000% be doing this again

Great experience. The hike is about 45 minutes and is challenging. Definitely not for individuals who have a physical disability. The waterfalls jump were a lot of fun. The staff work very hard to keep everyone safe. Did not like the buggies.we were taken to areas that farm animals lived by and you could smell the runoff water. We never made it to the beach

There is a bit of a hike to start, but it’s doable. The slides are fun and the jumps are scary, but fun! Overall, highly suggest!

This was an amazing experience, one we will remember for the rest of our life. 10/10, all of the staff was great, Chino, and Jovanni were very attentive and we got some amazing photos. Forever grateful!

Had an absolutely great time at Demajagua Falls. The staff at the falls were great and our driver, Santos why above and beyond to help with this great excursion.

Alfredo with Lasanc Tours was a fantastic tour guide. He showed us many spots along the way to the waterfalls. It was about a 20 minute drive to the waterfalls! The tour guides at the waterfalls were different, and all great! Same with the dune buggies. We had to be comfortable driving the dune buggies on a busy highway, but driving through the creeks was a blast. We made a pit stop to a small little community and got a tour from someone there. Really cool! On the way back to the cruise port, Alfredo gave us local rum to taste test and even stopped at a local bar to give us our first Presidente beer! Loved the personalized experience.

It is very strenuous. A very long walk up stairs, through woods. Once you get to waterfalls you have to slide. No other way down. Lots of rocks to walk on getting to each waterfall. If you have artificial joints. You might want to reconsider. I do have an artificial knee and was very cautious walking on the rocks. The guides were very helpful though. They made sure we were ok at all times. They were great. We had a good time and are glad we did it, but just wasn't prepared for what we had to do.
