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

Hidden Gems

  • Smaller river pools upstream from the main swim area where water is calmer for wading
  • A short ridge viewpoint reachable during the buggy leg that offers a quieter panorama of the valley

Wildlife

  • Iguanas
  • Tropical birds (parrots and hummingbirds)

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.
