Mega Splash Zipline in Punta Cana: Zipline and Dominican Tradition
Step into the canopy near Punta Cana and launch across six ziplines, a swaying Himalayan Bridge, and a final Mega Splash that skims into a lagoon. This half-day combines high-speed flight, a Dominican lunch, and a cooling Waterfall Pool.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear secure, closed-toe shoes
Sneakers with a good sole prevent slipping on platforms and keep your feet protected during landings.
Bring a swimsuit and dry bag
The Mega Splash finishes in water and the pool area is best enjoyed with swimwear and a place to keep gear dry.
Hydrate before you arrive
Tropical heat builds quickly; drink water before boarding the shuttle and carry a small bottle for between lines.
Listen to the safety briefing
Anchoring, braking, and hand signals are mandatory — they keep runs smooth for everyone on the course.

Conservation Note
Operators emphasize minimal-impact routes and brief guests on staying on paths and not feeding wildlife; avoid leaving any trash to protect fragile karst wetlands.
The eastern Dominican coast transformed from fishing and small farms into a tourism hub in the late 20th century; adventure parks now link local employment with regional tourism growth.
