The Experience

Before You Go

Bring a valid driver’s licence

All ATV/dune buggy drivers must be 18+ and carry proof of a valid driver’s license to operate vehicles.

Watch the weight and age limits

Zipline and motorized rides have firm weight and minimum age restrictions—check limits (zipline ≤265 lb, ATVs ≤250 lb, minimum passenger heights noted) before booking.

Secure shoes and sun protection

Closed-toe shoes and SPF are essential—sand, dust, and sun are constant companions during the tour.

Expect a bumpy transfer

The ride to the outpost is uneven; if you have back or neck issues, this activity is not recommended.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Small coastal viewpoints along the outpost ideal for sunrise photos
  • Quiet private beach cove perfect for a post‑tour swim and snorkel from shore

Wildlife

  • frigatebirds or terns hunting offshore
  • green iguanas or small lizards along the trail edges

Conservation Note

Operators promote minimal-impact access to coastal habitats — stick to marked trails and avoid disturbing nesting birds or shoreline vegetation; responsible waste handling helps protect the fragile beach environment.

Puerto Plata grew as a colonial port with ties to sugar and amber trade; the coastal landscape still shows the scars of volcanic geology and centuries of maritime use.
