Punta Cana Adventure Combo: Zipline, Dune Buggy & Horseback Riding
Three distinct experiences—zipline, dune buggy and horseback riding—pack into a single five-hour circuit around Punta Cana’s inland hills. Expect canopy views, muddy off-road tracks, and a shaded riverride through local cocoa country.
The Experience
Before You Go
Closed-toe footwear
Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes that can handle mud for buggies and protect your feet during the horseback section.
Sun and insect protection
Bring SPF 30+ sunscreen and a light insect repellent—tree cover keeps things cool but also shady and buggy.
Secure your belongings
Use a zipped pocket or small dry bag; phones and cameras should be tethered or stored during high-speed sections.
Hydrate and pace yourself
Five hours of mixed activity can be dehydrating—carry water and take breaks between rides to avoid fatigue.
