Plan Your Travel With The People Who Know!

Zip And Splash Adventure

Day Trip, Group Tour
Offer Image
Set off for a day of complete adrenaline-rushing adventure when you experience the thrill of the Waterfalls of Damajagua and a zip line course with 8 different runs, making for one of the most exciting days you may have while on your cruise!

Be met directly at the cruise port area by your local, friendly representative who will welcome you to the Dominican Republic. You will be escorted to your waiting transportation for an approximate 20-minute scenic ride to the west where you will discover the beautiful Waterfalls of Damajagua, one of the highest rated attractions on the North Coast of the Dominican Republic. Also known as 27 Charcos, Mother Nature has created awe-inspiring pools, etched out of limestone, with stalactites and stalagmites in a thousand colors.

Only recently, around 1994, did this area become an attraction. Nestled in the rolling hills of a mountain range you will soon uncover a breath-taking site like you have never seen before. You will begin with an approximate 30-minute hike uphill to reach the area where you will start this active adventure in the water. You will then begin to make your way back down the hillside through 7 of the most beautiful waterfalls; swimming, jumping, and sliding through the refreshing, crystal-clear water. For those who do not wish to participate in the higher jumps, there is a walk-around ladder for convenience.

By now you will no doubt have worked up an appetite, so it's time to make your way to your lunch stop. After the meet and greet at the Country House Bar you will settle in for a delicious, home-cooked Dominican lunch consisting of rice, beans, chicken or beef, fried sweet potatoes and yucca, vegetables, fresh tropical fruits and more.

From here your adventure continues as you make your way to the zip lining course. After the mandatory safety briefing from the trained professional staff, it's time to feel the adrenaline on the 8 ACCT certified zip lines, with a total of more than 7,900 feet of double, galvanized aircraft steel cable. A bottle of water will be attached to your harness to ensure you stay well hydrated during the activity, the longest ride is 2,460 feet. Never been zip lining before? Not a problem as no experience is required. Contrary to many other zip line parks, you are not involved in any active breaking where you use gloves for stopping. Don't miss out on zip line #9, the only way to finish is taking the plunge into the swimming pool!

After this fun-filled and exciting day you will be returned to the port area where your cruise ship will be waiting. Don't pass up this chance to experience two of the most thrilling adventures people travel from all over the world to experience in the Dominican Republic.

ABOUT US
Shore Excursions Group was created with one goal in mind: to provide exceptional travel experiences to cruise passengers in the ports they visit around the world. To accomplish this, we have compiled an exceptional array of tours delivered by local experts with decades of experience serving travelers and delivering excellent tours. Our owners and management team are comprised of seasoned travel industry executives who leverage their considerable experience to deliver memories of a lifetime.

We are experts in providing exceptional shore excursions. We understand that in today's fast paced world, vacations have become an increasingly important way to relax, reconnect with family and friends, and experience new and interesting places. With this in mind, we provide the highest quality tours by performing extensive research, and detailed reviews. While other companies also offer excursions, we strongly believe our expertise and approach set us apart. The large cruise lines sell shore excursions - typically in very large groups visiting high traffic sites. We focus on smaller groups visiting more interesting and authentic locations using more personalized local operators. While the cruise lines are experts in delivering cruises, we are experts in delivering shore excursions.

Our Approach
We believe quality service is not only highly valued by customers, but ultimately leads to better experiences and higher satisfaction. Unlike the cruise lines and other tour companies that rely almost entirely on websites, we encourage customers to call us. We want to invest our time answering your questions, providing input, and selecting the excursions that best meet your needs.

Our Tours
Our goal is to provide customers a wide array of exciting, appealing, and enriching tours. For those customers who prefer to travel in smaller groups with more personalized service, we offer a wide variety of small group tours around the world. These tours generally range in size from 2-12 people compared to larger tours which can number up to 50 people. While exploring the destinations and ports on this website, feel free to search for these "Small Group Tours". For those customers interested in private tours, we offer many outstanding excursions that allow you to travel with your party alone and, in many cases, to fully customize your tour. Search for "Private Tours" if you are interested in this experience. Our "Scenic" tours provide up close and personal access to some of the most spectacular natural environments on Earth from majestic glaciers in Alaska to spectacular reefs in the Caribbean. Our "Cultural" tours allow customers to experience local customs, entertainment and culinary delights ranging from tribal dances in Alaska to an outstanding local meal in Santorini, Greece. Our "Active" tours offer a multitude of exciting and adventurous ways to experience our destinations. Our customers can kayak the turquoise waters of the Caribbean, hike to a spectacular waterfall in Hawaii, or bicycle through quaint villages in France. Our "City" tours allow travelers to see the highlights of great cities around the world with unique insights provided by our expert tour guides.

Our People
In our experience, exceptional travel experiences are almost always delivered by exceptional people. With that in mind, we utilize a comprehensive approach to select and employ the leading tour guides and tour providers around the globe.
