Soar Over Punta Cana: Zipline Canopy Adventure Through Caribbean Rainforest
Race a friend across seven parallel ziplines and fly over lowland Caribbean rainforest. This 3-hour Punta Cana canopy tour pairs long aerial runs with expert-guided safety checks and easy logistics.
The Experience
Before You Go
Arrive early for cooler launches
Morning departures have milder winds and more bird activity—great for clearer views and steadier lines.
Wear secure, closed-toe shoes
Sneakers or trail shoes keep feet stable on wooden platforms and short forest walks between lines.
Secure loose items
Use a chest mount or zip pocket for phones and tuck away sunglasses—loose gear can fall during launches.
Tell guides about medical concerns
Disclose recent injuries, pregnancy, or heart conditions during check-in so staff can advise or adjust participation.

Conservation Note
Operators commonly limit route footprints, maintain platforms to reduce tree damage, and encourage guests to stick to trails—respecting these rules helps protect fragile coastal forest patches.
Eastern Dominican lowlands were historically traversed by Taíno communities; later colonial agriculture altered much of the original forest, and modern reserves and adventure operators have reclaimed pockets of native vegetation.
