The Experience

Before You Go

Wear secure shoes

Closed-toe athletic shoes with good grip keep your feet stable during takeoff and landing sequences.

Hydrate before you go

Drink water ahead of time—operators provide bottled water but starting hydrated reduces dizziness on the lines.

Avoid loose clothing and accessories

Remove scarves, wide hats and unsecured jewelry; zipline harnesses catch loose items and winds amplify flapping fabric.

Choose morning slots

Mornings usually have lighter winds and cooler temperatures, improving comfort and visibility.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Visit Indigenous Eyes Ecological Park for short trails and freshwater lagoons nearby
  • Take a quick detour to Hoyo Azul at Cap Cana for a turquoise cenote swim after the ride

Wildlife

  • Green iguana
  • Tropical birds (flycatchers and parrots)

Conservation Note

Operators typically run focused, low-impact routes through secondary forest; visitors should stick to marked paths and avoid feeding wildlife to minimize disturbance.

Punta Cana’s tourism boom began in the late 20th century, transforming coastal farmland into resort corridors while Taíno place names and coastal fishing traditions remain part of the local identity.
