Dual Zipline Adventure in Punta Cana: Race the Canopy Over Bavaro
Soar over tropical canopy on a three-hour dual zipline tour out of Punta Cana. Race a partner across seven parallel cables, ride with experienced guides and return to base camp with a new view of the Dominican interior.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear closed-toe shoes
Sturdy sneakers are required — no sandals — to keep your feet protected during launches and landings.
Hydrate before you go
Bring a water bottle and drink well before departure; guides will provide water at base camp but humidity makes dehydration easy.
Use hotel pickup
Take advantage of the included hotel pickup to avoid navigation and parking stress; be ready five minutes before your scheduled pickup time.
Secure loose items
Leave phones and hats in your bag or use a secure wrist strap — anything loose can be lost while zipping.

Conservation Note
Operators often support reforestation and local guides; minimize impact by staying on platforms, disposing of waste properly and avoiding single-use plastics at the site.
The area around Punta Cana sits in La Altagracia province, an area shaped by Taíno settlement and later colonial agricultural development before becoming a 20th-century tourism hub.
