Punta Cana: La Hacienda 7 Activities, Zipline & Chairlift Day

Summary

Mountain air ziplining buggy rides horses and a riverside dominican lunch

You’ll fly above Punta Cana’s mountains on the longest zipline in the country, get muddy on an ATV ride to a river, and relax with a Dominican buffet lunch. With local guides leading every step and real laughter along the way, this day at La Hacienda Park feels like more than just ticking off activities — it’s those little surprises that stay with you.

What’s the experience like?

First thing, José at the entrance grinned and handed me a helmet — he said, “You’ll need this.” I laughed because I thought he was joking, but nope. The zipline here at La Hacienda Park is long enough that you actually get time to notice the wind smells different up in the mountains near Punta Cana. You can hear birds and then suddenly nothing but your own breath as you’re flying over green. I didn’t expect my hands to shake after landing, but they did. Not in a bad way.

After that, our guide Maribel rounded us up for the buggy ride — she warned us about the mud (she wasn’t kidding). We bounced through puddles and I got splashed more than once; my shoes are probably never going to be the same. There was this moment by the river where everything went quiet except for the water moving past rocks and some kids waving from the bank. It felt like we were somewhere way further than just a day trip from Punta Cana.

The chairlift creaked as we climbed — it’s not fancy, but you see all these layers of green and little houses tucked into hillsides. Lunch was a proper Dominican buffet (I still think about that rice), with people joking around in Spanish and kids running circles around their parents. Someone tried to teach me how to say “mangú” right; I definitely failed. There’s so much packed into one day — horses, safari bits, even a free-fall jump if you want it — but honestly it’s those small moments with locals that stick most.
