The Experience

Before You Go

Wear closed‑toe shoes

Sturdy sneakers protect your feet on platforms and during the off‑road transfers; sandals are not allowed.

Bring sunscreen and a hat

Sun is strong even in shaded canopy gaps — use reef‑safe sunscreen and a brimmed hat for pre/post‑ride timing.

Secure cameras

Handheld cameras are often not allowed while ziplining; use a chest harness or leave devices with staff if required.

Hydrate before you go

A bottled water is provided, but drink well before pickup to avoid dehydration in the tropical heat.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Small mangrove lookout near the park’s edge for quiet birdwatching
  • A roadside fruit stand near the meeting point serving local juices and snacks

Wildlife

  • Green iguana
  • Tropical songbirds (wrens and parrots)

Conservation Note

Respect trail markers and guides; stick to established platforms to limit erosion, and opt for reef‑safe sunscreen to reduce chemical runoff.

The land reflects the eastern Dominican Republic’s agricultural past — haciendas and sugarcane shaped settlement patterns; modern adventure parks repurpose these tracts for tourism.
