The Experience
Before You Go
Secure loose items
Use provided lockers or the vehicle to store phones and sunglasses — anything loose can be lost on long zips.
Wear closed-toe shoes
Sturdy sneakers with grip make climbs and platform landings safer and more comfortable.
Hydrate and avoid heavy meals
Drink water before the tour and skip a heavy lunch to reduce discomfort during harnessed activity.
Follow the guide’s commands
Instructors control release and catch sequences — obeying instructions keeps the continuous belay system effective.

Conservation Note
Operators emphasize daily equipment checks and limit group sizes to reduce canopy trampling; follow leave-no-trace principles and avoid feeding wildlife.
The eastern Dominican landscape was used by Taino people and later modified during colonial agriculture; modern eco-adventures repurpose old trails into canopy corridors.
