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.

- Sunday8:30 AM – 6:00 PM
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.

Why this experience
Your family is about to fly through the canopy—multiple ziplines strung between platforms high above the tropical forest floor, with views that stretch across the mountains and down to the valleys beyond. This isn't a single short zip; it's a series of progressively engaging lines where you'll gain confidence with each glide. The guides are trained to work with mixed ages and abilities; kids and adults move at their own pace, and everyone gets clipped in securely before launching out. The adrenaline rush comes partly from the speed and height, but also from the pure novelty of seeing Punta Cana's landscape from above—a perspective you can't get any other way.
What makes this family-appropriate is the structure and safety. Hanging bridges between platforms let you walk and catch your breath, take photos, and build anticipation before the next zipline. The equipment is professional-grade. Guides demonstrate each line and stay focused on your group's comfort. Kids as young as 8 or 9 can often participate, and teenagers will find it genuinely thrilling.
Best for families who enjoy adventure, who want an activity where everyone participates together, and who are comfortable with heights and movement through the air.
Before you go
- Best time: Dry season (December through April). Ropes and grips hold best on dry days; tropical rainstorms make platforms slippery and lines may close. September through November brings afternoon showers that can interrupt your session.
- Budget: Check the booking widget for current tour pricing. All safety equipment, harnesses, and guide services are included; lunch or snacks may be available separately.
- Difficulty: Moderate. Ziplines require courage and comfort with heights, but not prior athletic training. You'll walk between platforms and grip handles firmly, but guides assist throughout.
- What to bring: Closed-toe shoes with good grip (hiking boots ideal), light layers, sunscreen, water bottle, hat, camera in a secure bag, insect repellent.
- Getting there: Hotel pickup usually included. You'll be transported to the zipline facility, typically a 20–30 minute drive from main resort areas. Confirm pickup location and time when booking.
- Accessibility: Weight limits typically apply (most facilities require 100–250 lbs). Height restrictions exist for younger children. Inform the operator of any physical limitations—some platforms aren't accessible for mobility aids.
Frequently asked questions
What's the minimum age for kids? Most facilities accept children as young as 8–10 years old, depending on weight and confidence level. Consult with the operator—they may pair younger kids with adult supervision.
I'm afraid of heights—is this right for me? Zipline courses are designed with progression in mind. Talk to your guide at the start; they can often start with lower, shorter lines to build your confidence. Many people who are hesitant surprise themselves with how natural it feels once they're clipped in.
How long does the experience take? Typically 3–4 hours total, including safety briefing, equipment check, walking between platforms, and 8–12 ziplines. Plan for a full morning or afternoon.
