The Experience

Before You Go

Wear secure, closed-toe shoes

Sneakers with a good grip are required for safe landings and platform transitions.

Bring a tethered camera or mount

Loose phones and sunglasses aren’t allowed—use a wrist strap or chest mount for action shots.

Choose a morning slot

Early departures mean cooler temperatures, calmer lines, and clearer views.

Hydrate and protect skin

Apply reef-safe sunscreen and insect repellent before departure and carry a small water bottle.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Small roadside stands near the start sell fresh fruit juices and local frituras worth trying after your run.
  • Ask guides about a nearby freshwater spring used by locals for cooling off—it's usually quiet and photogenic.

Wildlife

  • Cuban iguana and green anole lizards
  • Tropical vexing birds like the palmchat and various migratory warblers

Conservation Note

Operators encourage leaving no trace and use established paths to limit forest disturbance; avoid feeding wildlife and stick to guide instructions to protect fragile habitats.

The eastern Dominican lowlands were historically shaped by Taíno habitation and later agricultural expansion for sugarcane; smallholder farms still punctuate the landscape the ziplines cross.
