Tear through dirt trails, then fly above the ocean.

This half-day activity in Puerto Plata combines an off-road ATV or dune buggy ride through countryside and rural villages with a multi-line ocean zipline course built directly over the Caribbean, followed by access to a private beach and non-motorized watersports. Hotel pickup is included within the Puerto Plata region, and the sequence of activities is determined by daily operations rather than your preference. Helmets are mandatory, and you'll need a valid driver's license if operating the ATV or dune buggy.

The Experience

You start the morning on an off-road vehicle—either an ATV or a dune buggy, depending on which option you choose—and ride through rugged dirt trails and authentic rural villages outside Puerto Plata. The ride is bumpy and covers real terrain, not a manicured park loop. After the ride, you move to the zipline course, which is built directly over the crashing Atlantic and spans multiple lines so you're airborne for the better part of an hour, not a single quick descent.

The zipline sits at Chukka's Ocean Outpost, Puerto Plata's only seaside nature adventure park. Between the ATV and the zipline, you have access to non-motorized watersports—paddleboards, kayaks, snorkeling gear—and chill-out areas where you can dry off and take photos. A private beach is included, which means you're not sharing sand with cruise ship crowds. Complimentary refreshments are provided, and the whole thing fits into a half-day window, so you're back at your hotel by early afternoon.

The activity order depends on how the park schedules its daily flow, not on what you'd prefer. Both the ATV/dune buggy and the zipline require helmets, and if you're driving the motorized vehicle, you'll need to bring a valid driver's license and be at least 18 years old. The ride to the location is rough, so this tour isn't suitable for pregnant travelers or anyone with back or neck injuries. Arrive no later than 2 p.m. if you're driving yourself; hotel pickup handles the timing if you book that option.

Is this one for you?Book the ATV option if you want to drive solo and control your own speed through the trails; choose the dune buggy if you're bringing a passenger or prefer a guided ride. Either way, the two activities back-to-back mean you get both the adrenaline rush and the ocean view without spending your whole day on excursions or arranging separate bookings.
