What’s the experience like?

“Ready?” our guide asked as I tightened the harness around my waist, the salty breeze already tugging at my shirt. The speedboat engine rumbled to life, and suddenly I was rising—slow at first, then higher until the beach shrank below me. From up there, the water looked like a patchwork of blues and greens, with palm trees lining the shore like tiny matchsticks.

I could hear nothing but the wind rushing past my ears and the distant laughter of people on the sand. There were other colorful parachutes dotting the sky, but it felt like I had my own little piece of air. Our guide pointed out landmarks along the coast—tiny fishing boats near Cortecito, kids playing soccer by the water’s edge. My hands gripped the straps tighter as we reached 500 feet; even though I’d seen pictures before, nothing matched that floating feeling.

The descent came too soon. As we drifted back toward the boat, I caught a whiff of sunscreen mixed with sea spray—a scent that still reminds me of that morning. Back on deck, everyone was grinning and swapping stories about what they’d spotted from above. Honestly, it’s hard not to feel changed after seeing Punta Cana from that angle.
