TRIPLE ADVENTURE | Damajagua Waterfall Norwegian Encore Excursion | 30 Minute Review !!!

There weren't many reviews on KZread about this SUPER POPULAR excursion so we were excited to get some of the LAST available tickets for this excursion! We went on the Norweigan Encore in March 2022 and had to book this on the ship at the excursion desk because online it had showed sold out. Get to the excursion desk EARLY, either on the first or second day of the cruise. Other wise it will sell out!
We did the Triple Adventure that included biplane, waterfalls and buggies. This was a 7 hour INTENSE excursion, level 3. Not for very small children or people with heart or lung issues. The hike uphill is EXTREME and long, about 45 minutes! We are 33 an 34 and it was a little struggle for us! But the crew was great, giving breaks and water to everyone and helping those older passengers in need of more assistance. We were a LARGE group so we had to wait on some slower people which prolonged the excursion and caused us to rush a little at the end, however overall it was an AMAZING time, and the cool coach bus, although tight seats, was a nice ride with a great instructor who gave us a tour of Puerto Plata along the way. SO WORTH IT!

    You did a great job capturing the waterfalls. I did the 21 waterfalls tour without the other activities 7 years ago with my 6 year old at the time. We did all the slides and jumps except the biggest jump. We went down the ladder instead of doing the jump. I remember thinking we should've just jumped...that ladder was so old and it was scary climbing down.

    All of our belongings had to be placed in the lockers that was far far away from the excursion. We were allowed to take GoPro’s, waterproof cameras, and our cell phones if they were in a waterproof phone case. No, we had no chance to stop back at the lockers at any point until after the excursion, which is several hours long. My GoPro was attached to a selfie stick type device.

    This one was $199 per person. Don't bring a lot because everything will go in a locker anyway and the locker is small (Locker is $8 and helmets are free). The only thing I would bring is an action camera if you have one, your cell phone is fine but have it around your neck in one of those waterproof phone cases you can record and take photos in ($14.99 in the cruise gift shop) and a towel from the ship. You can wear your own water shoes but they must be very tight because they can easily fall off of your feet. You can rent some special ones they have that won't fall off for only $8. Basically, bring nothing but your phone and cash for the small buffet they will have!

    I want to do this excursion for my next cruise. Question, is the water deep? When you slide down, can you stand up in the water or do you have to swim? I’m asking because we can’t swim. If you need to know how to swim to do this then I guess I have to pass. It’s going to be 2 adults and 2 kids 8 years old.

    Good question. The water is deep in certain parts of the waterfall excursion. We recommend if you’re not somewhat of a decent swimmer, then I’d pass on this one. Of course they provide life vests but if you’re not at least decent at swimming you could get nervous at how deep some of the parts are. Hope this answers your question. ❤️

Are we able to change into a different pair of clothes before the buggies? Are we able to take our phones, etc. when we do the buggies part of the tour? Are there any restrooms at any point? Thanks so much for posting this!

    Great questions. This excursion does provide lockers for you before it begins. This is where you can leave your phone and other items. During the falls you are able to wear whatever you want. We recommend whatever you wear make sure it’s light and dri-fit. During our excursion, we didn’t have time to change. So whatever we wore during the falls is what we kept on during the buggies. You are allowed to take cellular phones with you during the buggies tour. We recommend if you have a small go pro or similar to take that instead. The buggies can be very bumpy, muddy and wet. There weren’t any restrooms during the excursions. However, there were restrooms where the lockers were. I hope this helps. Happy cruising. ❤️🛳️

    That’s a great question. This excursion was booked through NCL. The good thing about booking through the cruise line is if you do run into an issue where the excursion runs over time, they will wait for you to return before leaving. That’s why we usually book directly through the cruise line just in case this does happen. Luckily we have never ran into an issue with excursion times running over. On this particular one we did make it back to the ship and had enough time to look around the port shopping area. Hope this answers your question and thanks for the support! ❤️

    Yes! You still wear the same water shoes throughout the entire excursion, even on buggies, because you don’t visit the lockers until every thing is done. No you cannot wear sandals, but you can bring your own water shoes. Just make sure the water shoes fit very well or they will definitely fly off your feet during the waterfall part. I like the water shoes they provide because they were high on the ankle and didn’t feel like they were going to fall off at all!
