The Experience

Before You Go

Confirm pickup details

Operators pick up at major Punta Cana hotels but confirm your exact pickup time and nearest point by email after booking.

Wear closed-toe shoes and long pants

Sturdy sneakers and lightweight long pants protect your feet and legs from harness rub and trail vegetation.

Hydrate and bring a refillable bottle

Tropical heat and repeated adrenaline runs dehydrate quickly—carry water and drink before you feel thirsty.

Secure cameras with tethers

If you bring an action cam or phone, use a wrist/ chest mount or tether—dropping gear is a common and irreversible loss.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Lunch at a small Dominican house where you can learn about local cooking and family life.
  • A roadside viewpoint on the safari truck route where coconut palms frame views back toward the coastline.

Wildlife

  • Capuchin monkeys
  • Green iguanas and tropical songbirds

Conservation Note

Guides request that visitors not feed or touch wildlife and to pack out trash; supporting local guides and using reef-safe sunscreen help reduce the tour’s environmental footprint.

The eastern Dominican landscape blends Taino pre-Columbian traces with colonial-era sugarcane and cattle routes; many rural homesteads you pass still reflect that agricultural lineage.
