点评:We were on a Celebrity Cruise and did an excursion from Puerto Plata.
Magnificent place to visit. Very busy and they are clearly used to excursions arriving since as soon as we got their the guides were on the coach giving us instructions. I had read a little about what to expect but assumed we hiked into the park and then got chaged. But no, you change at the bottom of the hike and hire a locker so be prepared to do that quickly.
Then you are given a helmet and lifejacket and off you go, in your sea shoes if you have dressed appropriately. You can just about manage the walk in sea shoes but it can be strenuous straight uphill in blazing heat. The guides are brilliant though and keep you entertained.
The actual descent through the river is exhiliarating though. However be aware at the last jump which is the highest, because you are wearing a helmet you can hit the bottom despite what the guides say. You also end up underwater at every slide because the helmet drags you down so you need to be confident in the water. I caught an infection after the trip but that was nobody's fault, I loved this excursion.
Going back down is easier because there is a lot of walking through water - those sea shoes are a must.
There is no picture taking in the park but a photographer accompanies you and takes pictures. You can then purchase the USB stick when you get down again, and that is well worth doing as the pictures are good and a memory of a great morning.

这里真是个值得一去的地方。游客很多,显然他们已经习惯了接待游客,因为我们一到那里,导游就上了大巴给我们讲解行程。我之前看过一些关于行程的介绍,以为我们会徒步进入公园,然后换衣服。但实际上不是,你需要在徒步路线的起点换衣服,还要租用储物柜,所以要做好快速换衣服的准备。
之后,你会拿到头盔和救生衣,然后就可以出发了,如果你穿得合适,还可以穿上沙滩鞋。穿着沙滩鞋勉强可以走,但在烈日下直接上坡会很累。不过,导游们都很棒,讲解生动有趣。
真正沿着河道下行的过程令人兴奋。但是要注意,在最后一个也是最高的跳台上,即使导游说不会撞到水底,你也可能会撞到水底。每次滑梯都会被水淹没,因为头盔会把你往下拽,所以你必须对水性有信心。我旅行结束后感染了,但这并非任何人的错,我非常喜欢这次旅行。
下山就容易多了,因为要走很多水路——水鞋是必备的。
公园里不允许拍照,但会有摄影师陪同并拍照。下山后你可以购买U盘,非常值得,因为照片质量很好,而且能留住美好上午的回忆。
