Punta Cana: Dual Zipline Adventure & Side-by-Side Cables

Summary

Zip side-by-side above Punta Cana’s lush forests on double cables

You’ll feel your heart race as you zip side-by-side through Punta Cana’s tropical forests on 12 double cables—the longest stretching nearly 800 meters. With local guides handling all safety gear and transport included, you’ll get moments of laughter, nerves, and pure adrenaline in the Caribbean sun.

What’s the experience like?

I didn’t expect my hands to shake so much just clipping in at the first platform—guess I’m not as brave as I thought. Our guide, Miguel, grinned and tightened my harness a little, saying something about “la seguridad primero” (safety first). The forest below was thick and green, almost humming with birds I couldn’t see but definitely heard. My partner tried to look cool but I caught him swallowing hard before we launched together on the first dual zipline. That wind—sharp and warm at the same time—hit us right in the face. I could smell leaves and something sweet, maybe mangoes?

There are twelve lines here (I counted because after number three my knees were jelly), all strung between these wooden platforms that creak a bit when you land. The longest one is wild—Miguel said it’s 800 meters, which felt like forever while we zipped side by side over a clearing where you can see all the way down to some tiny river. At one point I yelled out something that wasn’t really a word; my partner just laughed until he started coughing from excitement or nerves or both. It’s weirdly quiet up there except for the whir of the cable and your own heartbeat.

The whole thing takes a couple hours but it blurs together: sweaty palms, that click of the carabiner, Miguel’s stories about his cousins who work nearby (he waved at someone carrying bananas below us), water breaks where bottled water tastes like magic, and this feeling that you’re floating above everything for just a second longer than seems possible. After our last run we sat on a bench catching our breath—my shirt stuck to my back—and watched another group cheer each other on. Still thinking about that view from line seven; don’t know if I’ll ever forget it.
