Itinerary
Day 1
One action-packed day: hotel pickup, transfer to Hacienda Tuko Eco Adventure Park, safety briefing + 8 ziplines and hanging bridge, off-road buggy and animal encounter, included snack, then return to your hotel.
Hotel pickup — central Punta Cana (representative pickup point: Hard Rock Hotel)
We pick you up from your central Punta Cana / Bávaro hotel. This representative pickup point is for groups booked from major hotels; your exact pickup location/time will be confirmed by the operator before departure.
Tips from local experts:
- Confirm your exact pickup time and meeting point the evening before; groups often use Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Punta Cana as the central meeting hub.
- Have a small backpack ready with sunscreen and ID — staff will check passenger details before boarding.
- Keep a lightweight jacket or towel in the car for the morning breeze; bring a small cash tip for your driver if you enjoyed the service.
Transfer to Hacienda Tuko
Short scenic drive from central Punta Cana to Hacienda Tuko Eco Adventure Park — enjoy local roadside views on the way.
Tips from local experts:
- Sit on the right of the van for better photo angles of the coastal vegetation and local life en route.
- Travel time varies by hotel location — expect around 30–40 minutes from Bávaro/central Punta Cana.
- If anyone in your group gets motion-sensitive, have a light snack and water handy; the ride is offroad near the park entrance.
Arrival, check-in & safety briefing — gear fitting
Check-in at Hacienda Tuko, sign waivers, get fitted with helmets, harnesses and gloves. Guides run a safety demo and explain the sequence of the 8 lines and hanging bridge.
Tips from local experts:
- Wear closed-toe shoes and comfortable activewear — no flip-flops for ziplines or buggies.
- Keep phones/cameras secured — cameras are not allowed on the lines unless you have an attachable kit approved by staff.
- Tell guides about any concerns (stomach/back/heart) before harnessing up; they speak English and Spanish and will match you to the right equipment.
Zipline run — 8 lines + hanging suspension bridge
Experience all 8 carbon-fiber zipline lines, ending with the suspenseful hanging bridge for group photos and adrenaline-filled memories.
Tips from local experts:
- For the best group photos, ask the guide to stop for a quick photo at the highest platform — golden-hour light in March is late afternoon, but midday photos are still vivid.
- If someone in your group wants a calmer run, ask to go first or last — guides can pace participants so waiting times are minimal.
- Hydrate between lines — bottled water is provided, and guides will offer quick rest spots between runs.
Off-road buggy trail & eco-animal encounter
Short off-road buggy ride around the Hacienda grounds followed by a chance to meet and photograph local, cared-for animals on-site.
Tips from local experts:
- Bring a compact camera or use the park photographers for action shots — ask guides about photo packages if you want professional shots.
- Respect the animals' space and follow guide instructions — the park emphasizes animal welfare.
- If your group is split between drivers and riders, rotate quickly to keep the schedule moving; buggy runs are popular so guides keep them efficient.
Included snack — bottled water & fruit bowl (relax & photos)
Enjoy the included bottled water and fresh fruit bowl while you cool down after activities — time for group photos and socializing.
Tips from local experts:
- If your group prefers a bigger meal, plan a stop back in Bávaro — the included snack is light (fruit & water) and ideal after high-energy activity.
- Ask for shaded seating and charge phones with guides' permission; they often have a safe spot to top up devices.
- Use this time to swap phones and compare photos; consider a quick group selfie on the hanging bridge platform before you leave.
Free time — souvenir photos & quick shopping
Browse small souvenir stalls or relax in the Hacienda's shaded areas before boarding for return transfer.
Tips from local experts:
- Bring small bills (USD or DOP) for souvenirs and local snacks — vendors at the park prefer cash.
- If you're buying souvenirs for a large group, ask for a small group discount — vendors often accommodate friendly haggling.
- Keep valuables zipped and in sight; the park is secure but small items can be easily misplaced during a busy day.
Return transfer to your hotel (representative dropoff: Hard Rock Hotel)
Board the van and return to central Punta Cana / Bávaro hotels. Dropoff time may vary slightly depending on stops.
Tips from local experts:
- Expect an approximate 30–45 minute return trip to central Punta Cana; relax and share photos from the day.
- If your group plans to keep the energy going, ask the driver for a recommended local spot in Bávaro for a post-adventure drink or meal.
- Confirm your exact dropoff location with the driver if you're staying at a smaller villa or further resort — they can coordinate closer to arrival.
