Punta Cana Jungle Buggies and Ziplines Adventure: Anamuya River & Casa del Coco
Trade the white sand for dust and adrenaline: a seven-hour loop of off-road 4x4 buggies, a river swim and a 12-line zipline course that includes the Dominican Republic's only 800m side-by-side cable. Practical, fast-paced, and family-friendly when planned right.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear closed-toe shoes
Sturdy shoes with grip protect your feet during buggy rides, platform climbs and the river stop.
Bring a change of clothes
You’ll likely get splashed at Anamuya River — a dry set of clothes keeps the rest of your day comfortable.
Driver requirements
If you want to drive a buggy you must be 18+, have a valid license and at least one year’s experience; otherwise ride as a passenger.
Protect against sun and insects
Sunscreen and insect repellent are essential for midday sun and river-edge vegetation.
