Activity itinerary

Amber Cove
  • 4h 15m
Your adventure begins when you are greeted by your welcome team at the cruise centre main entrance. Meet your guide and board a mini-bus or van for the fully narrated drive to the hike's start-point. Once there, receive an orientation, a safety briefing and have the opportunity to use the facilities before you begin your trek through the Dominican forest. During the hike you will cross streams and see tropical birds and plants along the path. Continue this moderate hike until you reach the waterfall where you will enjoy a relaxing swim. After your time at the waterfall, you will make the return hike to your start-point where you will have a bit of free-time to browse the gift shop, enjoy a cool drink or have a bite to eat (at own expense). After, re-board your safari lorry for the return to the cruise centre main gate. Please note, while this is an "easy" hike, you will be required to walk for approximately 1.5-hours on uneven surfaces.
