Tropical Forest Waterfall Trek from Amber Cove
A gorgeous Dominican rainforest treats you to beautiful sights on the way to a breathtaking waterfall and rainforest pool.
Hike the lush tropical forest, and cross over a suspension bridge and streams, while learning about the medicinal plants, flora, and animals on your way to a natural pool and waterfall. Meet the friendly reception team to start your nature experience. Journey to the starting point of the trek in a fully narrated, air-conditioned van or minibus. Once there, there's a quick safety training and orientation while safety gear is distributed. Participants will have the opportunity to use the nearby facilities before the tour. As you traverse the trail, marvel at the beauty of tropical birds and plants while your Naturalist Guide shares insights into various folk remedies and the therapeutic properties of plant leaves, flowers, and roots. Along the route, enjoy the scenery as you splash across streams and arrive at a natural woodland pool and waterfall, where you're invited to take a refreshing swim. Make the return journey to the starting spot after some revitalizing time there. Before boarding your bus or minivan for the thrilling ride back to the port, you have time to change or use the facilities, and enjoy merengue music and limitless rum punch.
