Punta Cana Mountain Zipline Tour: Soar Above Bávaro's Rainforest Canopy
Clip in, step off, and fly above Bávaro's rugged ridges. This Punta Cana Mountain Zipline Tour pairs high-speed cables with a short cultural stop at a local house and panoramic mountain views—ideal for travelers who want more than beaches.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear closed-toe shoes
Sturdy sneakers or light hiking shoes protect your feet on dirt approaches and wooden platforms.
Secure phones and loose items
Use a tether or leave cameras with guides—wind and speed will eject anything not fastened.
Hydrate before and after
Tropical heat and short climbs make rehydration critical; bring a refillable bottle.
Notify guides of health issues
Tell staff about back, heart, or pregnancy concerns before boarding; some runs are restricted.
