THE LINES

A dozen zips — including two national record‑length runs

The core of the experience is a 12‑line zip course that includes exceptionally long runs (the longest line is 800 meters) and two lines described as the longest in the Dominican Republic, delivering extended, high‑speed exposure to the treetop canopy.

THE WILD FRIENDS

Monkeyland: up close with squirrel monkeys

After the zips, you enter a dedicated habitat where friendly squirrel monkeys interact closely with visitors; these animals often climb on guests and create photographic moments that many callers say are unforgettable.

LOCAL CULTURE

Countryside house, coffee, chocolate and a botanical walk

Complementing the adrenaline elements are visits to a typical Dominican countryside house for demonstrations of traditional coffee, cocoa and coconut oil preparation, tastings of freshly roasted coffee and handmade cocoa, and a walk through a botanical garden featuring native plants and tropical fruits.

Over roughly five hours you alternate between kinetic, high‑adrenaline zipline sections that stretch through the treetops and slower, sensory moments on the ground: tasting freshly roasted coffee and handmade cocoa, learning about traditional food preparation in a countryside house, wandering a botanical garden, and spending calm, close time with squirrel monkeys in their habitat.
