The experience

You start the day with hotel pickup from your Punta Cana resort and travel by speedboat into the waters off Bavaro Beach. Once on the boat with a small group, you'll put on a secure harness and get briefed by your guide before launch. The boat tows you into the air, and you choose whether to fly at 100 feet for a closer look at the shoreline or 250 feet for a wider view of the Caribbean.

The flight itself lasts 15 minutes, long enough to take in the panoramic view of turquoise water, white sand, and palm trees without the experience feeling rushed. You can arrange a solo flight or fly tandem with another person. The guide stays with you throughout, handling the technical side so you focus on the view. All equipment is professional-grade and maintained to safety standards.

Round-trip transport from your hotel is included, so there's no need to arrange a separate ride. The activity suits all fitness levels, and children from age 5 can participate. Your guide speaks English, Spanish, Italian, French and other languages, so language won't be a barrier.

Top questions

What languages is the tour guided in?

Live guide in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian and Russian.

Can children come?

Yes. Ticket types: Youth (12 to 17 years); Child (5 to 11 years). Children under 5 can't be included in the booking.

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

What's the difference between flying at 100 feet and 250 feet?

At 100 feet you're closer to the water and shoreline, seeing details of the beach and boats below. At 250 feet you get a wider panoramic view of the entire Bavaro coastline and the Caribbean stretching out, so the choice depends on whether you prefer detail or scale.

Can I fly alone or do I have to go tandem?

You can choose solo or tandem when you book. A tandem flight means you're harnessed together with another person, which some people prefer for the shared experience.

How long is the whole activity, including the boat ride?

The flight itself is 15 minutes in the air. The full experience from hotel pickup through return is longer, but the operator's description focuses on the flight duration as the core of the activity.

Is there a minimum age?

Children are welcome from age 5, so families with younger kids can participate together.
