The Experience

Before You Go

Footwear for mixed terrain

Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes with good traction—trails are dirt, muddy after rain and buggy platforms are rough.

Hydration and sun protection

Bring a 1–2L reusable water bottle and reef-safe sunscreen; shade is limited during buggy stretches.

Secure electronics

Use a wrist strap or waterproof case for phones and cameras—ziplines and river swims risk loss or water damage.

Listen to briefings

Follow guides’ safety instructions for harnesses, quick jump and buggy operation to avoid injury.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Riverside paddling hole reachable on foot from the buggy trails
  • Lookout platform accessed by the chairlift with wide coastal views at sunset

Conservation Note

Operators typically emphasize leave-no-trace at river crossings and limit access to sensitive trails; guests are asked to avoid single-use plastics and respect riverbanks.

The area reflects a mix of Taino heritage and colonial-era agriculture—coffee, cocoa and tobacco farms remain part of local life and appear in the tour’s cultural safari.
