What To Expect

Begin your day's adventure with convenient hotel pickup; pickup time varies according to location. Please see Additional Information for details.

Make the 30-minute drive in an open top safari truck from Puerto Plata to Damajagua, home to 7 spectacular waterfalls. Hop out of the truck and make a 20- to 30-minute trek uphill to the falls, limestone pools, colorful stalactites and stalagmites. Swim, jump, and slide through the natural environment; younger children are welcome at the first cascade, but children must be 8 years or older for the upper cascades.

On the way back to Puerto Plata, stop at the Country World Ranch and refresh yourself with a home-cooked meal, then get ready for ziplining. You'll be equipped with a helmet, harness, and a bottle of water. Zoom down eight ACCT-certified ziplines, the longest being 2,460 feet (750 meters) and stop in between lines for a walk through the forest. You can go at your own pace, along with your instructor, and pick tropical fruits off the surrounding trees if you get hungry.

The day's last activity is horseback riding, an activity suitable for riders of all skill levels. You will be matched with a horse according to your comfort level and ability for a relaxed, scenic ride.

Before heading back to your hotel for drop-off, stop in a tropical garden to see some local flora and fauna.

Decided to experience the Adventure Package with my partner. This includes Waterfalls, Ziplining, and Horseback riding. We enjoyed every excursion. Starting with Waterfalls which was better than expected. Be prepared for a good warmup hike, you will not regret it- the views are beautiful. Two Tour Guides picked us up from the hotel in a Travel Van and were with us throughout the day while we experienced each excursion. The food provided was amazing!-Vegan / Vegetarian friendly. Better than our All-Inclusive Resort. Stopped at local shops as well after waterfalls and before lunch. The guys in each excursion were down-to-earth and welcoming. Would purchase this package again.

Experience to repeat over and over again!

Adolfo_C, Apr 2023

We really enjoyed the hike and waterfalls. The water was gorgeous and the temperature was just right. The people at the restaurant was really nice and friendly. I will do it again.

Almost perfect

Rashun_C, Apr 2023

The activities included with Daniel’s tour was actually very fun. The four stars instead of five is through no fault of his own. Its mostly because of the very long wait we endured before taking our first plunge in the falls. We ended up having to rush a couple to their cruise port before they nearly missed it, and a family of six was told to leave their belongings at the horse ranch. The problem with this is after the waterfall journey, apparently there was some miscommunication because it seemed we were primed to return to our hotels, while the family of six had to be driven back to the closed ranch to reclaim their possessions.

Absolutely Amazing

Camilla_C, Aug 2022

The waterfall experience was probably one of the coolest things I’ve ever done. The zip lining and horseback riding were awesome too! Lunch was rice, beans, and chicken and as a picky eater it was sooo good and they are constantly giving you water and drinks to keep you hydrated. I would definitely recommend this experience!

Response from Host, Aug 2022

Thank you so much for the great review!

Great times

lellah_w, Jul 2022

This was a great excursion from start to finish! Lots of walking to get to waterfalls but totally worth it. Also the ziplining and horseback riding was great. Staff was all very friendly and fun to be around. Lunch was really good as well!

Thank you so much for the great review!

First time zip lining,...

Linda_D, May 2022

First time zip lining, great experience. Food on the ranch was excellent. My daughter got flea bites from horseback riding.😒. Unfamiliar with bartering for prices and got taken advantage of by local selling wares on the ranch. Felt forced into buying items that were engraved before we were told the prices. Would have rather had more cash to leave better tip for the guide and photographer on the waterfall portion of the trip. They were so awesome. Beware of locals pushing their wares. If no price, barter. We learned the hard way.

Great experience!

Ellyn_P, Mar 2022

This was such a fun experience! It really is a whole day adventure - we were gone from 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM, but it was so worth it. The hike to the waterfalls was not too bad, but is not for those that are inactive. The ziplines were awesome and there are 8 of them! The horses were very well cared for, unlike many other vacation destinations that have horseback riding. Overall it was a great experience and we had so much fun. The tour guides were wonderful and we had a great lunch at the Country World farm.

Response from Host, Apr 2022

We’re happy to hear you had a great experience. Thanks for the 5 star review!

Awesome!!

Michael_M, Mar 2022

This excursion is definitely worth it! We had so much fun and the staff was so nice and helpful. The waterfalls were unlike anything I've ever seen. Ziplining was so awesome and the horseback riding was great. I think my favorite part was actually the authentic Dominican lunch cooked by some awesome women...so good.

Thanks a lot for the great review!

Wow!!! A Must Do Excursion

Shaunna_S, Jun 2021

We were happy that we were able to book the excursion at the last minute. Not sure what to expect, Daniel picked us up on time and reviewed our schedule making us feel very comfortable and safe. The waterfalks... Edy made our first waterfall experience perfect! He was so patient and encouraging during the hike up and especially at the first jump site. As for Country World Adventures... simply amazing! The grounds are breathtaking and well maintained. Lunch was fresh and very tasty; the best chicken we've ever had. All the guides were super friendly, professional and fun! Our zip lining and horseback guides were the best! We can't thank everyone enough for all you did to make our first DR trip a success. I look forward to visiting again.

Response from Host, Jun 2021

We highly appreciate the great review! Thanks a lot!

Amazing....

Ashleigh_A, Jun 2021

This is truly a must do. Please note that you are booking this specific tour through Country World Adventures. The drivers aren't sure what Viator is so pay attention to the booking ticket Viator sends you. Otherwise, this day is exactly as advertised and so incredible. The horseback riding along the countryside made my teary. Julio was so nice and gracious. Zip lining was also very fun. And of course the waterfalls are spectacular and unreal. Just a beautiful, outer-wordly experience. I will remember this for the rest of my life and it is well worth the money.

Response from Host, Jun 2021

We're happy you had a good time with us! Thanks a lot for the great review!

Great service. Pick up on time at the hotel. Excellent tour, great for the price, full day experience. Will return again when ever I’m in the DR.

Thanks for the great review!

Fantastic!!!

Emma B, Apr 2019

Worth the money, everything was fun and exciting but prepare to hike for 30 mins and bring good sneakers or water shoes!!! Would recommend to friends and family

I highly recommend the Zip N Splash...

JamesPeter_S, Mar 2018

I highly recommend the Zip N Splash Adventure! Great value for your money. It is about an 11-12 hour day so be prepared to know that. I would recommend not taking any valuables on this trip. They do have lockers at the waterfalls location for 4 US. You can pay for a photo and video package but it is 50 US which I felt was a bit expensive. It would be nice to have known of the 50 package ahead of time. If you want to take pictures and videos yourself, I recommend bringing a waterproof pouch or waterproof bag to put your camera or phone in, but of course at your own risk as you will be jumping and sliding down waterfalls. The highest water fall is like a 20 feet jump. It was really FUN! There is quite a bit of walking maybe 30 minutes of walking for the water falls and also for the ziplining. If you have any current injury such as a leg, ankle or bad hip, etc..., I would not recommend you doing this adventure. The guides are all great and nice, and the tour is well organized. OVERALL, GREAT BANG FOR YOUR BUCK!

This tour is a must. Between...

Lilly R, Feb 2018

This tour is a must. Between everything if offers, it is super fun but keep in mind it is a long day and you will be exhausted once its done. The ride from our hotel we stayed in the Playa Dorada complex was about an hour to the waterfalls. It was amazing to take in all the sights along the way like the wild cows, horses, and chickens, businesses and houses, and the ocean and mountain scenery. Once at the waterfalls, our guides, Chichi and Jhonny, were incredibly helpful and personable. They kept the group entertained and informed during the 30 minute hike to the waterfalls. Although the hike was a bit tiring lots of uphill climbing, including stairs, the waterfalls were worth it. They were thrilling to slide down and jump off of and the sights were spectacular. Follow everything the guides tell you and you will walk away with no abrasions the rocks can be slippery and tricky to navigate. After the waterfalls, we returned to Country World for lunch which was delicious. It tasted like an authentic Dominican meal and was leaps and bounds better than the hotel food. Following this we did the zip lines, which were fun and nothing to be afraid of if its your first time zip lining. Horse back riding was next, which was a little tricky because some horses have personalities, like the one horse who farted in all the other horses faces while riding, and another that kept nipping at the other horses tails. This wasnt bad though and as someone who has little knowledge on horses, it was cool to interact with them and learn more about them. Multiple guides even came riding along to make sure that no one got nervous during the ride. Finally, we walked into the petting zoo which was fairly brief but it was awesome to interact with the birds and monkeys. After that, we made the trek back to the hotel. Up until this point, I hadnt made mention of any of the employees at Country World. That is because ALL of them were super welcoming and professional and it would take awhile to name each one individually. They all enjoyed being there as much as we did. Seriously, if you have the chance to do this excursion, go for it.

lori g, Jul 2017

I would truly recommend Country World Adventure Park to anyone thinking of doing an excursion here. We booked the 3 in one which including ziplining, horseback riding/petting zoo, and the 27 waterfalls 12. My daughters and I had Edrice as one of our guides for ziplining. He explained every detail of the safety features and once we were all equipped with our gear and a water bottle, we started our excursion. We were the only ones there and it was awesome. The 8 ziplines were fun and it was so cool to see all the cows and horses as we ziplined past them. Once we were done ziplining, we walked to the horses and rode them for about an hour or more. My horse was the fastest and Edrice offered to stop and switch horses midway through the ride, but I declined. It was difficult to take pictures and hold onto the horse reins lol. These guys were great!!. After riding, we ate the BEST Dominican lunch on the Earth!!! Fried Plaintains, fried yucca, rice, beans, and seasoned chicken. And again, it was just the 3 of us. After lunch we walked to the petting zoo and held some parrots and a spider monkey. They even offered us to take a walk through the pineapple plantation while we waited for the transportation to the waterfalls. It was very hot that day, so we just stayed in the building. We then drove about 30 minutes to the waterfalls where there were different guides. Our guides Gabriel and 2 others were awesome. There were about 8 of us including my two 15 year olds and myself. Once they made sure we had life jackets and helmets, they told us what the tour was going to entail. We were going to walk about 30 minutes, taking a few water breaks in between, then arrive to the 12 waterfalls. Once there we would jump some or slide down some. Once we arrived to the first waterfall one guide went ahead and the others helped us climb the slippery rocks and helped us if we needed it. They were amazing. They joked with us and made us feel very comfortable. I chickened out of the 21 foot jump and went down the wooden steps instead. All in all, extremely pleased with this company and excursion!!! We wore water shoes for the entire excursion, and took a waterproof camera for the falls. Do yourself a favor and spray yourself with bug spray before each part of the excursion.They do have lockers for a few dollars to rent at the waterfalls and was well worth it. We tipped all of our guides which wasn't mandatory but they do appreciate and deserve it!!

This trip was so exhilarating...

Jenny H, Jul 2017

This trip was so exhilarating!!! The waterfalls were beautiful and jumping off a 25ft waterfall was amazing! The zip lines were a ton of fun! Lunch was also fantastic! If we were to return to Puerto Plata we would for sure do this again!

Colleen C, Jun 2017

This tour was one of the highlights of our trip. The staff was incredibly friendly. We were a family of 5 that ranged in age from 42, 41, 20, 17 and 5 and we all loved it. My daughter had an allergic reaction while we were there and was covered in hives not from eating the food, but she has a lot of allergies. A staff member personally drove us back to our resort while the rest of my family continued with the excursion. That is true customer service! The lunch was great and the experience in general was outstanding. I would highly recommend.

Mitchell D, Jun 2017

This was a great experience! The shuttle picked us up just outside the lobby of our resort, and immediately the fun began, starting with a 20-30 minute drive through the country side to the 27 falls trail head. Hiking up to the falls was not bad at all, and you can take your time, you are hiking through a jungle so you'll want to take your time to look at the vegetation, listen to the sounds, and soak it all in... there is really only about 1/4 mile up hill where you may need to stop every so often, but it really wasn't too bad at all! The trail splits and you will go left to the 12 of the 27 falls, or right to the other 15 falls, we went to the 12. I was really looking forward to doing all 27, but we still had a great time. Once to the top you will hike down the river, jumping off the falls, and sliding down the natural slides. My wife and I jumped every waterfall, but if you need to you can walk around them, but just jump, its way more fun! The highest jump was only 9 meters. Our guides were super funny and friendly, and all parts of the excursion were very enjoyable! After hiking and jumping the falls, we rode the shuttle to the ranch for a Dominican styled lunch, which was very good. After lunch we went through the zip line course, which was very fun and exciting, but not scary at all. Just go for it! The zip line course was followed by about a 45 minute horse back ride. These horses are extremely mellow and very well trained, anyone can ride them without any problem. Our horses obeyed our commands so it felt like more than just sitting on a horse that follows the horse in front of it. After riding the horses we went through the petting zoo and garden, which was fun and interesting to learn about the animals, and fruit/vegetable bearing trees/plants on the island. My wife especially loved the monkey, and the iguana. The guides were all outstanding, everyone was friendly, and wanted to help us enjoy the day. If we visit the Dominican Republic again we will definitely do this excursion again! I used a GoPro to record all parts of this experience, and then my GoPro camera was stolen from my suitcase after checking it into security at the airport while flying home from the Domincan Republic, otherwise I would have some great photos to upload. Once again, this was a great experience, we highly recommend it! The price was great too!
