Regenwoudtocht naar Natural Pool - Taino Bay en Amber Cove-havens
Beschrijving
Trek door een prachtig tropisch bos, steek een hangbrug en beken over terwijl je de flora, fauna en geneeskrachtige planten ontdekt onderweg naar een natuurlijk zwembad. Begin uw natuuravontuur met een volledig gesproken rit in een busje of minibus met airconditioning, naar het startpunt van de trektocht met tijd voor toiletten, een korte oriëntatie- en veiligheidsbriefing en veiligheidsuitrusting. Je enthousiaste gids helpt je bij het identificeren van tropische vogels en planten langs de route. Je ontdekt de vele traditionele toepassingen en geneeskrachtige eigenschappen van plantenwortels, bladeren en bloemen. Spetter over beekjes terwijl u geniet van het uitzicht onderweg naar een natuurlijke bospoel en waterval waar u ervoor kunt kiezen een duik te nemen in het verfrissende water. Vervolgens maakt u de terugtocht naar het startpunt. Er is tijd om de faciliteiten te veranderen of te gebruiken voordat u weer aan boord van uw bus of minibusje stapt voor de levendige terugkeer naar de haven, compleet met merenguemuziek en gratis rumpunch.
Rondreisopties
Reisroute
Je avontuur begint wanneer je wordt begroet door je welkomstteam bij de hoofdingang van het cruiseschip. Ontmoet je gids en stap aan boord van een minibus of busje voor de volledig vertelde rit naar het startpunt van de wandeling. Eenmaal daar, ontvang je een oriëntatie, een veiligheidsbriefing en heb je de mogelijkheid om de faciliteiten te gebruiken voordat je je trektocht door het Dominicaanse bos begint. Tijdens de wandeling doorkruist u beken en ziet u tropische vogels en planten langs het pad. Vervolg deze gematigde wandeling tot je de waterval bereikt, waar je kunt genieten van een ontspannen duik. Na je tijd bij de waterval, maak je de retourwandeling naar je startpunt, waar je een beetje vrije tijd hebt om door de cadeauwinkel te bladeren, te genieten van een koel drankje of een hapje te eten (op eigen kosten). Stort daarna uw safaritruck opnieuw in voor de terugkeer naar de hoofdingang van het cruise centrum. Let op, terwijl dit een "gemakkelijke" wandeling is, moet u ongeveer 1,5 uur lopen op oneffen oppervlakken.
Een tropische bostrek naar een waterval en een natuurlijk zwembad!
Ophalen op de meetlocatie buiten de poorten van Taino Bay Cruise Centre en Port.

This was such a great trip! Both Rosy and Lisa gave us tons of information about island, people, culture. My husband went through waterfalls slides, I was walking with Lisa and was swimming in the last waterfall waiting for the main group arrival. Tons of fun and super safe!
We are so happy you thought your adventure was great! Lisa and I really enjoyed our day with you as well. Our Rainforest Trek to Natural pool version of Damajagua Waterfalls is the perfect blend of flora, fauna, culture and light-adventure without the jumping from the waterfalls and the uphill hike. We are so glad that your husband decided to enjoy the natural slides :-) Please come back one day very soon for more fun!! HAPPY SAILING!!

The highlight of our cruise was this tour we took with Jordan. His personality, knowledge and friendliness was welcoming from the start. He treated us like we were important. Stopping frequently on the trek to explain all the plant life and trees and the culture of the island. When we got to the waterfalls, he kept a watchful eye on our belongings and took pictures for us. On the ride back in a comfortable van he served us yummy rum punch and got instruments to play along with the island music. We also stopped at an outdoor stand and he bought local bananas for all of us to sample. By the time we got out of the van we felt we were leaving a good friend behind. 5 out of 5 isn’t enough to say about his tour guiding abilities. ❤️
Thank you!! This review is lovely and has been shared with Jordan :-) This type of thoughtful feedback makes our entire team smile. We are glad that you enjoyed your adventure, our signature rum punch and the fresh from the stalk bananas.

Zander was an awesome tour guide! Very knowledgeable, funny & attentive to everyone in the group. My daughter wanted a rainforest & waterfall hike; this was a great compromise vs. the more strenuous Damajagua hike & falls. You will need sturdy soled water shoes. You will be walking on rocks in the streambeds.
Thank you and Zander says, "thanks" as well! Our Rainforest Trek to the pool made by Mother Nature is a great alternative for those not wishing to jump :-) We hope you also enjoyed our signature rum punch and Merengue party on the return to port.

We went on a cruise and Amber Cove was one of our ports. We did this tour a few years ago and had a great time. We followed the directions to the meeting location and made it to the air conditioned bus for the drive to the falls. They had 2 separate groups on our excursion with each having a different guide. One that was going to go on the falls and one that went on the Nature Trek with an option to climb and slide or jump. I wanted to slide but my sister did not. She was still able to enjoy the natural pool at the end. Our guide Zander was awesome and even though we had done this tour before, we learned so much more about the history of the Damajagua Falls area. It was a great experience! A must do!!!
We really appreciate the time you took to provide such a detailed review :-) Coach Zander is very happy you and your sister enjoyed your experience. We are especially thrilled that you thought enough of our experience to do it again! We also hope you enjoyed our signature rum punch and Merengue party on the return to the port!

Great excursion, so well organised, Informative and fun. Thanks to Jordan for guiding us through the rainforest and streams to the pool where we could enjoy a refreshing swim. He was so knowledgable and personable, a perfect guide. The journeys on the minibus were comfortable and fun. Xander was so entertaining and the party atmosphere with rum punch on the way back added to the experience. Highly recommended.
We had a fantastic time on this tour. It wasn't strenuous and would be perfect for anyone that can move around easily. There was about a 45 minute hike to the lower falls that included history and info about the animals and plant life in the area. The water was refreshing. You will have to swim in the pool to get to the ladders to climb up the falls. It is optional to slide or jump the falls. We were able to walk up a little further to one extra fall that required swimming to. Xander our guide was fantastic and made sure everyone was safe and had help if needed. We would highly recommend this tour if you didn't feel you could do the full experience to all the falls.
This is a great choice for someone who doesn’t want the 45 minute uphill climb in the heat to the top of the 7 falls. Tony was an excellent guide walking me through the woods and crossing the river in 5 spots. Added bonus was that most people choose the uphill climb so he was my private guide, and it was a peaceful experience. I got to swim in the bottom pool under the lowest waterfall for a while with no one else around. If you want to climb the ladder and jump or slide down you can. This park gets really crowded, so booking with a small group through Puerto Plata Adventures made it an experience of nature rather than of crowds. Also want to recognize Rosie for great communication in allowing me, a non-cruise passenger, to sign up. The cruise port and ship timing gets complicated and she was very attentive to keep me connected. Well done!
If you don’t take the trek to the 7 waterfalls you’ll have a bit of down time. One couple with our group (of 8 ppl) took the 7-falls route and we waited quite a while for them to return. If we’d wanted to swim in the pool at the bottom after doing the bottom slide and taking pics we could have but it still left us with too much time in hand. Our part of the trek included more low water crossings and Jordan stopped several times to tell us about the trees and plants which those going to the upper pools didn’t get. All in all it was a good experience but not worth $80. I don’t know how they distinguished between those wanting the more eco-tour vs full hike to top and then jumping and sliding the whole 7.
Booked excursion with Puerto Plata Adventures rain forest trek. Alex was our guide--very professional, entertaining, and nonweldable regarding Dominican Republic history and current event. Motor coach was very comfortable and clean. From cruise terminal, arrived at national park after 20 min drive. National park was was well maintained with well marked trails and interesting vegetation. Alex guided our hike to the waterfall and swimming area. Not too strenuous. Water was refreshing, and sliding down waterwall was worth the trip. Highly recommend this tour organization (Puerto Plata Adventures) and greatly appreciate Alex's attentiveness and professionalism.
We had a wonderful experience!! The trip was nice, the driver was careful.. Xander was very informative as well as Jordan. They made this excursion worth every penny!! My favorite part was taking a dip in the river!! I highly recommend this excursion.
