Creator's Key Takeaways

I know for a fact that I would have had to turn back if you guys weren't there.

I do recommend this tour for the adventurous ones.

The guides were great, funny, helpful, and encouraging, but they did keep the line moving.

I think the photo package was totally worth it, especially if you don't want to bring your own camera or your phone.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Dress appropriately for the excursion.
Don't bring unnecessary electronics.
Start prepping by only taking the stairs on the ship.

YouTube Video Description

Christina is afraid of heights… so naturally, she signed up for an excursion that involves hiking a mountain and jumping off waterfalls 😅 On our MSC World America cruise, we stopped in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic and booked the famous Damajagua Falls (27 Waterfalls) excursion. What started as a “normal” tour quickly turned into one of the most physically and mentally challenging experiences we’ve ever done. From a hot, exhausting hike up the mountain… to climbing down waterfalls, sliding through rushing water, and facing the option to JUMP… this excursion pushed Christina way outside her comfort zone.
