Anamuya Jungle Buggies & Zipline Adventure from Punta Cana
Fly across 12 ziplines, swim in the Anamuya River, and tackle cross-country buggies—this full-day trip out of Punta Cana packs canopy flight and off-road driving into one adrenaline-rich itinerary. Read on for what to expect, what to pack, and local tips to make the most of the day.
The Experience
Before You Go
Closed-toe shoes only
Wear sturdy, ankle-covering shoes for the buggy portion and the forest approaches to zipline platforms; no flip-flops allowed.
Bring swim gear and towel
There’s a supervised swim in the Anamuya River after lunch—pack quick-dry swimwear and a towel.
Sun protection is crucial
Afternoon sun and reflective water increase UV exposure—use reef-safe sunscreen and a wide-brim hat between activities.
Hydrate and pace yourself
This is a full 8-hour day with activity and travel; carry a refillable bottle and sip frequently to avoid heat fatigue.
Local Knowledge

Conservation Note
Guides encourage staying on marked paths, avoiding single-use plastics, and using reef-safe sunscreen to minimize impact on river habitats.
The Anamuya area sits on low mountains once traversed by Taino people and later used for cattle and small-scale farming; traces of those routes inform many trails today.
