Punta Cana Zipline, Buggies & Horseback: Full-Day Adventure at Hacienda Tuko
Spend a full day at Hacienda Tuko for an action-packed mix of eight zip lines, off-road buggy trails and a relaxed horseback ride—finished with a wood-fired Dominican meal. This guided excursion combines adrenaline in the treetops with authentic local flavors and convenient hotel pickup.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes
Buggy trails and stable approaches are rough and can be muddy; closed-toe shoes protect toes and improve footing.
Bring sun protection
The zipline platforms and open buggy sections offer little shade—use reef-safe sunscreen and a hat for waiting periods.
Hydrate before you go
Tropical heat and activity combine quickly; drink water before departure and use the bottled water provided after activities.
Secure loose items
Use pockets or dry bags—phones and sunglasses can fly off during ziplines or bumpy buggy sections.

Conservation Note
Hacienda Tuko emphasizes low-impact operations—staying on designated trails, limiting single-use plastics, and involving local staff to support the community economy.
The coastal hills around Punta Cana were historically used for small-scale ranching and agriculture; Taíno roots and later Spanish colonial influences shaped local foodways and rural settlements.
