The Experience

Before You Go

Bring sturdy, closed-toe shoes

Closed-toe sneakers with good grip keep your feet secure during platform climbs and line landings.

Confirm your pickup point

Operator provides hotel pickup across La Romana and Bayahibe—verify exact time and meeting location the night before.

Watch the weight and size limits

Maximum weight 285 lbs and 44-inch waist; staff will weigh and measure for safety—plan accordingly.

Hydrate and protect from sun

Bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and a refillable water bottle; mid-morning launches are cooler and less crowded.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Altos de Chavón cultural village — a short drive from La Romana with river views and artisan shops
  • Bayahibe beach and local fishermen’s restaurants for fresh seafood after your zipline

Wildlife

  • Green iguanas that sun on branches
  • Tropical birds, including parrot and kingfisher species

Conservation Note

Operators work within secondary forest corridors—stay on designated platforms, avoid littering, and consider tipping guides who practice low-impact trail access.

The eastern Dominican landscape carries Taíno place names and later sugar-plantation history; modern tourism hubs like Punta Cana grew rapidly in the 20th century around coastal development.
