Cruise through an emerald abyss as you explore the forest canopies. Spread out over 18 platforms, this exhilarating zipline course has plenty to offer for those who want sweeping views of the Dominican Republic's rolling hills and distant mountains. Leave Punta Cana aboard an air-conditioned vehicle, and make the winding drive up into the mountains. At the welcome center, go over basic safety information and get fitted for a harness and helmet before you head to your first platform to prepare for your ride. Climb to the top, hook on to your first line, and leap off when you get the green light from your instructor. Glide across 12 ziplines that stretch between 18 platforms, enjoying bird's eye views along the way. Snap selfies between rides and find out just how fast you can go on a zipline that stretches 2,500 feet (762 m) before it brings you to a graceful stop. At the end of the day, take a break with some fresh fruit and something cold to drink, and then catch a comfortable ride back down to your hotel.
