Punta Cana Scape Park: Ziplining, Cenote Swim & Waterfall Family Adventure
Spend a full day at Scape Park in Punta Cana soaring on ziplines, swimming in a blue cenote, and exploring caves and waterfalls. This family-friendly itinerary mixes engineered thrills with geological and cultural highlights for all ages.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear water-friendly footwear

Choose biodegradable sunscreen to protect aquatic systems when swimming in cenotes and pools.
Hydration and timing
Start early to beat heat and crowds; carry a refillable water bottle and drink often between activities.
Secure belongings
Use a small waterproof bag or locker for valuables—phones and cameras can get soaked on the splash ziplines.
