Punta Cana: Zipline adventure with local guide & pickup

Summary

Soaring above Punta Cana’s trees—laughter, nerves, and wild views

You’ll feel your heart race as you zip across Punta Cana’s treetops on 12 double-cable lines—the longest in the Caribbean—with a friendly local guide leading the way. Between laughs, nerves, and those wild green views below, you’ll share moments (and maybe some shaky knees) you’ll remember long after your trip.

What’s the experience like?

I didn’t really know what to expect when our van pulled up outside the zipline place in Punta Cana. The air smelled like wet leaves and sunscreen, and I could hear birds somewhere in the trees—loud enough that I wondered if they’d be watching us fly by. Our guide, Luis, handed out harnesses and cracked a joke about “Dominican seatbelts.” He showed us how the double cables worked (I was glad for the extra security, honestly) and then we were climbing up to the first platform before my brain had caught up.

The first jump was the hardest. My hands were sweaty on the metal trolley thing, and I could feel my heart thumping in my ears. Luis gave me a thumbs up—he’d done this hundreds of times but still seemed excited for us newbies. When I finally let go, there was this whoosh of wind and suddenly I was gliding over green so bright it almost hurt my eyes. You’re side by side with someone else on these lines (my friend shrieked louder than me), which made it less scary somehow. The longest zipline is 800 meters—they told us it’s the longest in the Caribbean—and you really do feel tiny above all that forest.

Between runs, we’d wait on wooden platforms that creaked under our feet. Sometimes you could smell sap or see little lizards darting away from our shadows. The guides kept things moving but never rushed us—one guy even taught me how to say “listo” before launching off (Li laughed when I tried to say it in Spanish—probably butchered it). Water breaks felt good; my shirt stuck to my back from nerves more than heat. By the last line, I wasn’t even thinking about being scared anymore—I just wanted to go again.
