Dual Zipline Adventure in Punta Cana: Race Through the Rainforest Canopy

Race a partner across eight ziplines above Punta Cana’s inland rainforest. This 3–4 hour adventure includes hotel pickup, certified guides, and 1.5–2 hours of flight time that reveal the island’s green interior beyond the beaches.

The Experience

Before You Go

Wear closed-toe shoes

Sturdy sneakers or trail shoes with a firm sole improve stability on wooden platforms and during landings.

Hydrate before you go

Bring a small refillable water bottle — tropical heat and adrenaline will dehydrate you faster than expected.

Secure loose items

Use a small zip pocket or a chest-mounted camera; loose phones or sunglasses can fall during flight.

Book a morning slot

Earlier departures are cooler and typically less crowded, giving more time on the lines without midday heat.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Ask guides to point out native fruit trees and medicinal plants near lower platforms
  • The base camp often has quick local snack options — try fresh coconut water after the course

Wildlife

  • Broad-winged hawks
  • Green iguanas

Conservation Note

Operators typically limit platform impact to existing clearings and emphasize leave-no-trace practices; guests are encouraged to avoid feeding wildlife and to carry out waste.

The inland areas around Punta Cana were historically rural and used for small-scale agriculture; today eco-adventures like ziplines highlight that interior landscape rather than the coastal resort belt.
