Full-Day Bavaro Adventure Park: Buggies, Ziplines, Horses & Cenote in Punta Cana

Spend a full day at Bavaro Adventure Park in Punta Cana: off-road buggies, a six-line zipline with a splash landing, guided horseback trails, and a cool cenote float. This package combines high-adrenaline sections with mellow nature time and a typical Dominican lunch.

The Experience

Before You Go

Closed-toe shoes required

Wear sturdy, closed sport shoes for buggies, zipline platforms, and horseback; flip-flops only after activities are finished.

Bring swimwear and a quick-change

The cenote and Mega Splash mean you’ll want a dry set of clothes to change into afterward.

Hydrate and time your day

The full package runs about seven hours—start hydrated, carry a refillable bottle, and use shaded breaks to avoid midday heat.

Secure valuables in lockers

Personal items aren’t allowed on some activities; rent a locker for phones, wallets, and cameras.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Blue Lagoon cenote inside the park — quieter mid-afternoon and good for photos after lunch.
  • Short horseback side-trail toward mangrove edges where shorebirds gather at low tide.

Wildlife

  • Iguanas basking on sunlit fences
  • Wading birds such as herons and egrets near mangroves

Conservation Note

Stick to marked trails, don’t feed wildlife, and use reef-safe sunscreen; the park manages high-traffic activities to limit erosion and protect freshwater features.

The Bavaro coast shifted from agriculture to tourism in the late 20th century; the park repurposes old roadways and a former mining circuit into recreation infrastructure.
