The Experience

Before You Go

Wear closed-toe shoes

Sneakers or trail shoes keep your feet secure on platforms and during short hikes between lines.

Bring a lightweight rain shell

Tropical showers are common—pack a compact, breathable shell to stay comfortable between runs.

Secure loose items

Use a zippered pocket or operator-provided locker; phones and hats can be lost on high-speed zips.

Hydrate before and after

Heat and adrenaline increase fluid loss—drink water before arrival and take the bottled water offered.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Hoyo Azul sinkhole at nearby Scape Park for a cool swim after the zips
  • Indigenous Eyes Ecological Reserve—quiet trails and freshwater lagoons away from resort beaches

Wildlife

  • hummingbirds
  • green iguanas

Conservation Note

Operators often work with local communities and follow guidelines to minimize trail erosion and disturbance; visitors should avoid littering and follow leave-no-trace practices.

The eastern Dominican landscape was long inhabited by Taíno communities; later colonial agriculture shaped the inland plots visible below the ridgelines.

How safe is the course?

Professional guides run safety briefings and handle harnessing and belays; equipment is commercial-grade and inspected regularly, but follow all instructions closely.

What should I wear and bring?

Closed-toe shoes, comfortable activewear, sun protection, and a water bottle are recommended; leave loose valuables behind or secure them to avoid loss.

Is there hiking between ziplines?
