Per one customer who booked the Damajagua Waterfalls Adrenalin Adventure Amber Cove-Taino Bay, "Great experience! The tour was perfect. Pickup from the cruise port was easy. Transportation just as described. I travelled with my family of 6, 3 being under the age of 18. The hike was easily manageable, and the guides stopped multiple times to allow those that needed it to rest. Slides and jumps were safe with guides to help all along the way. Would 100% recommend."
