Spend about six hours at La Hacienda Park near Anamuya, trying zip lines, buggy rides sold as ATVs, horseback riding, a chairlift, river swimming, and more. Hotel pickup, safety gear, water stations, and a Dominican buffet are included. Expect mud, a busy schedule, and possible waits.

“It was fun, don’t get me wrong we had a good time. My fiancé had a good time because she never did a lot of the stuff like horseback riding and jumping off a tower and what not but she still said it was a 3/5. While it was a memorable time, it was so because we made it that way. Keep the mindset right and everything will be good. Unfortunately the zip lines were down, and that’s what I was looking forward too. They didn’t tell us however until after the 24 hour full refund time had passed. We couldn’t cancel anymore and we might’ve and rebooked with another…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 533 reviews · from $76

“This was a great excursion! Be prepared to get dirty. Lol. The guys leading the tour were funny and fun. The only issue we had was the driver who picked us up for the tour was not very friendly he didn’t call before the pick up to let us know he was on his way and he didn’t send a pic of the van so that we knew what to look for. Other than that the excursion itself was amazing. We really enjoyed the buggy, the horseback riding, the beach, the cave and the cigar, coco and coffee presentation. Hands down one of the best experiences I had.”

The only con I have is that transportation is included in the price however the booking person should inform you of the distance or how long it will take to get from your resort to the park. We rode for over an hour. It was worth it once we got there but that hour plus drive there and back was exhausting.”

Before heading out, he took us to a local store so we could buy souvenirs and memories from Punta Cana, which was a really nice touch. He then dropped us off at the horseback riding location. The entire experience was great—everyone was very professional, and I felt safe the whole time. Andrew also made sure we got back to our Airbnb safely. I totally recommend booking this activity!”
