Punta Cana 6-in-1 Jungle Safari — Zipline, Dune Buggies & Horseback Adventure
Combine adrenaline and local flavor on a full-day Punta Cana circuit: zipline over rivers, ride horses through a working hacienda, rip across countryside in dune buggies, and finish at a clear-water beach. This practical guide explains what to expect and how to prepare.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes
Dune buggies and horseback sections kick up dust and require solid foot support; sandals are not advised.
Bring a change of clothes
You’ll end the day at Macao Beach and may want dry clothes for the return transfer.
Listen closely to safety briefings
Zipline and buggy safety is operator-led—follow instructions and keep equipment on until told otherwise.
Carry small local cash
Markets and small vendors at the hacienda may not accept cards; tips for guides are appreciated.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Small hacienda cigar-rolling demonstration and Mamajuana tasting for an authentic local flavor

Conservation Note
Stick to marked trails and avoid disturbing riparian vegetation; support operators that limit off-trail buggy routes to reduce erosion and respect local reef-safe sunscreen rules at the beach.
The route crosses estates that reflect the Dominican Republic’s agricultural history—cacao and coffee were pivotal crops and many rural haciendas still show traditional processing methods.
