Itinerary
Day 1
Pickup, transfer, guided zipline experience with rest/snack break, and return drop-off. Comfortable shoes and sun protection recommended.
Hotel / Meeting point — Pickup at Plaza San Juan Shopping Center
Meet your driver/guide for pickup. If you chose pickup from your hotel, the minibus will collect guests in the hotel area and make a brief stop at Plaza San Juan Shopping Center for any final pick-ups and ticket checks.
Tips from local experts:
- Have printed or digital booking confirmation and the main contact's phone number ready — drivers often check names at pickup.
- Bring light snacks for kids and any necessary medication; pickup can be quick and the full zipline experience runs continuously once started.
- If you travel with a stroller, fold it before the pickup — vehicles have limited space; toddlers are not allowed to sit on laps during the activity.
Short transfer to the zipline base
Drive from the meeting point to the zipline park. The transfer is included and takes you from the pickup area into the activity site in Punta Cana/Bávaro area.
Tips from local experts:
- Seat belts are required — secure small children in the vehicle; staff usually confirm ages at pickup.
- The drive may be bumpy in places — keep children seated and have a small travel blanket and motion-sickness remedy if needed.
- Use this short ride to apply sunblock and put on closed-toe shoes before arriving at the park; it saves time during check-in.
Extreme Zipline Experience — check-in, safety briefing & guided ziplines
Core Bokun activity: professional guides fit harnesses, give a clear safety briefing, and guide the group through a series of long zipline runs offering panoramic mountain and forest views. Bottled water provided. Cameras and phones are generally not allowed unless secured with an attachable kit — staff will confirm on arrival.
Tips from local experts:
- Minimum age is 5 — bring ID or a copy for children if requested; the team will fit child-sized harnesses where needed.
- Phones and loose items are not allowed on most lines; bring a small attachable camera kit if you plan to photograph the runs — otherwise leave devices with staff or in a secure locker.
- Dress kids in closed-toe shoes and comfortable shorts/pants; remove dangling jewelry. Mention any pre-existing back/heart issues (or pregnancy) to guides — the experience is not recommended in those cases.
Mid-activity rest & snack (park break)
Short rest break inside the park between runs — a good time for children to rehydrate, use restroom facilities, and have a light snack. This break is typically provided during the guided schedule.
Tips from local experts:
- Bring easy-to-eat, allergy-friendly snacks (e.g., fruit, crackers) — the park provides bottled water but not a full meal.
- Use the restroom before getting back on the lines; some parks have shaded picnic/bench areas but limited changing facilities.
- If your child is nervous after the first lines, guides are excellent at assisting — ask for a slower run or tandem ride with a guide for reassurance.
Return transfer to meeting/drop-off area
After the final zipline run and equipment return, board the vehicle for the short return transfer to the pickup/drop-off area. Staff will confirm drop-off logistics for hotels and nearby meeting points.
Tips from local experts:
- Confirm the exact drop-off hotel name with the driver before leaving the park to avoid delays.
- There may be a short wait while other guests are returned — bring a light jacket in the vehicle for kids if breezy after an active session.
- Collect any belongings left at check-in (attachable camera kits, small bags) before boarding the transfer; staff may hold them separately.
Optional: Beach time & snack at Playa El Cortecito (Bávaro) — family beach stop
If your hotel drop-off is near Bávaro and you'd like to extend the day, a short stop at Playa El Cortecito lets kids paddle in calm water and enjoy a casual snack at beachside kiosks. This is optional depending on drop-off logistics and time.
Tips from local experts:
- Shallow, calm waters make Playa El Cortecito good for small children — supervise closely and use flotation aids for nervous swimmers.
- Choose kiosks or cafes with shaded seating and ask for high chairs if available; many local beach eateries are flexible with kids' portions.
- Bring wet wipes and a quick-change outfit for the drive home — sandy feet and seats are easier to manage with a towel and spare clothes.
