Punta Cana Combo: Macao Beach, Anamuya River & Bonao Mountain Zipline Day Trip
A single full day that packs a cavern swim, horseback riding, Punta Cana’s largest zip line, buggy mud trails, a riverside lunch on the Anamuya, and a surf stop at Macao Beach. Expect varied terrain, local guides, and a spirited mix of water and land adventure.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring two pairs of shoes
Closed-toe shoes for the horseback and buggy sections and quick-dry sandals for the cenote and Macao Beach make transitions smoother.
Protect electronics
Use a waterproof case or dry bag—the cenote swim and buggy mud runs can easily soak phones and cameras.
Stay hydrated and pace yourself
Five hours of activity in tropical heat requires regular water; carry a reusable bottle and sip frequently.
Listen to safety briefings
Zip line, horseback, and buggy sections each have specific rules; following guide instructions reduces risk dramatically.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems

Conservation Note
Stay on designated trails, avoid touching cave formations, and use reef-safe sunscreen to limit impact on freshwater cenotes, river ecosystems, and coastal reefs.
The area’s limestone karst reflects the island’s coral reef origins; local haciendas historically grazed cattle and harvested coconuts, shaping trails and river access.

Common Questions
Is previous zip line or horseback experience required?
No; guides provide instruction for the zip line and horses are typically well-trained for beginners, though riders must be able to follow directions and have basic mobility.
Are transfers included and where do we meet?
Air-conditioned transport is typically provided from Punta Cana-area pickup points—confirm your exact pickup when booking and plan to arrive at the designated meeting spot on time.
Can children participate?
Children can join in many sections but may be restricted from the zip line or horseback depending on age, weight, and ability; check operator age and safety limits before booking.
What should I bring for the riverside lunch?
Bring a light dry change of clothes, cash for extras, and any dietary notes—lunch is usually local cuisine served near the river, but operators can often accommodate common allergies with notice.
