Fly through the forest on a guided zip line course in the hills near Punta Cana. After a safari-style transfer from your hotel area, canopy guides fit your harness, run the safety briefing and lead you across a series of platforms and cables with views over jungle and river valleys.
Your day begins with pickup in the Punta Cana or Bávaro hotel zone and a scenic drive inland on a safari truck toward the welcome centre at the forest base. On arrival, staff check you in, fit your harness and helmet, and run the safety briefing before you reach the first platform.
Canopy guides lead you station to station along a multi-line route with longer glides over the river valley. When the final line is complete, you return equipment and rejoin the transfer back toward your hotel area. Exact timing depends on group size and how busy the course is on the day.
The course sits in lush tropical forest in the Cordillera Septentrional range inland from the east coast resorts. Thick tree cover, ridges and river corridors create natural zip line corridors with green panoramas in every direction.
Most guests reach the base after a road transfer from Punta Cana or Bávaro rather than driving themselves. The contrast between open coastline and shaded mountain forest is part of what makes the experience memorable.
No previous zip lining experience is required. You need to be comfortable wearing a harness, following guide instructions and stepping on and off raised platforms. Guides run the briefing in plain language so first-timers know what to expect at each stage.
Closed-toe shoes and secure clothing work best. If you have a health condition that could be affected by heights, sustained activity or jolts on landing, check with your doctor before booking and tell the team on arrival.
This is a long-established canopy route in the region, with multiple platforms and lines designed to build confidence as you go. Professional guides stay with the group throughout, managing clips, spacing and landings so you can enjoy the forest views without worrying about the technical side.
Hotel-zone pickup and the safari transfer are woven into the flow of the day, so you can treat it as a straightforward half-day adventure without arranging your own transport to the mountain base.
Meet your driver in the Punta Cana or Bávaro hotel zone and board the safari truck for the scenic drive inland toward the forest welcome centre. Enjoy views of the coast giving way to greener hills as you head toward the zip line base.
Arrive at the welcome centre, check in with the team and listen to the safety overview covering harness fit, clipping onto cables and landing signals. Guides answer questions before anyone steps onto the first platform.
Move from platform to platform along a multi-line route through the tropical forest, including longer glides with views over the river valley. Guides manage spacing and clips at each station while you enjoy the sensation of flying through the trees.
Complete the final line, return harness and helmet, and rejoin the safari transfer toward the resort area. Relax after the adrenaline of the canopy and swap stories with your group on the drive back.
Pickup is arranged from hotels in the main Punta Cana and Bávaro resort corridors. Be ready in the lobby or at the agreed meeting point at the confirmed time; the safari truck transfer continues inland to the forest welcome centre.
If you are staying outside the usual pickup zone, contact the team before you book so they can confirm whether collection is possible or share the nearest meeting point.
No. The course is designed for first-timers as well as guests who have zipped before. Guides explain harness fit, clipping on and landing posture before you reach the first platform.
You move through the route at a steady pace with staff controlling spacing on each line, so you are never left to figure out the safety steps on your own.
Plan around half a day door to door, including the safari transfer from the resort area, time at the welcome centre and the full zip line circuit. The on-course time depends on group size and how busy the forest base is.
Allow flexibility on return timing, especially on peak days when more guests are on the cables.
Pickup from hotels in the Punta Cana and Bávaro zones is part of the usual flow described for this product, with transfer on a safari truck to the welcome centre. Exact pickup points and times are confirmed after booking.
If your accommodation is outside the standard resort strip, ask the team before you book to confirm collection options.
Closed-toe shoes are essential for platforms and short walks between lines. Choose clothes that sit comfortably under a harness and avoid long scarves or dangling accessories that could snag.
Sun protection helps on the transfer and while waiting at platforms. Secure phones and glasses if you bring them.
Harness-based activities rely on correct fit for safe speeds and landings. Limits may apply and are enforced by the canopy team on the day.
If you are booking for children, taller teenagers or guests near maximum size, mention this when you book so the team can advise before travel.
The forest course uses a sequence of platforms linked by multiple zip lines, including longer spans over the valley and river. Guides lead you in order so you build confidence on shorter sections before the biggest glides.
Safety equipment and instruction are included; optional photo packages on site are separate if offered on the day.
Many guests feel nervous before the first line. Guides stay beside you at platforms, check your clips and talk you through each launch and landing.
You can pause on solid ground between lines, and staff will not rush you onto a cable until you are ready. If you decide not to continue, tell a guide immediately.
Light rain may not stop operations, but strong wind, lightning or conditions that affect cable safety can lead to delays or rescheduling. The team may adjust the route or timing to keep everyone safe.
If weather disrupts your slot, the team will be in touch about the next available option.
Meals are not usually part of this half-day forest outing unless your confirmation states otherwise for a specific date or package.
Bring water for the transfer and consider a snack if you are sensitive to long mornings between breakfast and lunch.
The safari truck transfer typically covers the journey between the resort area and the welcome centre at the start and end of the activity. Confirm return timing with your guide or driver on the day.
If you plan to leave from a different drop-off point, discuss it with the team in advance.
