Punta Cana jungle adventure at Hacienda Tuko, with zipline, horseback riding, and dune buggies plus hotel pickup, lunch, and bottled water.

“It was an adventure packed day. We were picked up at our hotel a little before the given pickup time. Our guide, Fignole, was very attentive and polite. He ensured that we were good and explained the safety rules and guidelines to us while we were on the bus and again when we got to the location. Transportation was very comfortable and it was nice seeing the country side of Punta Cana. We enjoyed the horseback riding activity and the visit to the country style house where we got to try fresh cow’s milk and cacao powder. The zipline and buggie activities were fun as well. We got to swim…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,172 reviews · from $99

Punta Cana zipline, chairlift, ATVs, horseback riding, and a river swim at La Hacienda Park, with pickup and a Dominican buffet.

“Be prepared to have a lot of fun and get muddy! Very muddy! Wear old clothing, shoes and bring a bandana for your face. The zip lines are fun but definitely catch you with a jolt on the end or you may get stuck a few feet from the end but have no fear they will come quickly and bring you in. The horse back riding is definitely beginner friendly. The buffet lunch was very good but we had little time to eat. Well it was a great day the only down side is that your are rushed from one activity to the next.”

“One of the best excursion I've gone to, and I've gone through at least 50+ excursions over the years. Tour guide spoke perfect English, very funny, charming and informative. Wear your swim wear on the first activity, the dune buggy, since it is very muddy, and it was super fun! The horseback riding is not too exciting, but nice and relaxing, and good for those who has not been on horse back before. The safari was fun and entertaining. Th zipline was the highlight. One of the best that I've been to, and I've been to around 10+ ziplines in 6 different countries. The lunch was delicious. Highly recommend this…”
