Buggy Adventure and Mega Splash Zipline at Bávaro Adventure Park — Punta Cana Action Day
Get muddy and airborne in one action-packed day at Bávaro Adventure Park: a self-drive buggy circuit through an abandoned mine, a Dominican village visit, a six-line zipline culminating in the Mega Splash, and a cool waterfall pool swim. Expect culture, geology and clear practical instructions to get the most from your visit.
The Experience
Before You Go
Closed-toe shoes only
Wear sturdy, closed sports shoes for buggies and ziplines—flip-flops are not allowed during activities.
Bring swimwear and a quick change
You’ll end with a waterfall pool and a wet Mega Splash—pack a towel and spare clothes for the ride home.
Stay hydrated and use reef-safe sunscreen
Dominican sun and humidity build quickly—carry water and apply sunscreen before activities.
Lock valuables or leave them at the hotel
Personal items aren’t permitted on the zipline; small and large lockers are available for a fee.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Try the mamajuana tasting during the village visit—local vendors often make small-batch blends.
- •Ask guides about the abandoned mine’s history; the reworked tunnels make for dramatic photos away from the ziplines.
Wildlife
- •Least tern and other coastal birds
- •Tree lizards and local anole species in shaded tracks
Conservation Note
The park operates an eco tour and encourages reef-safe sunscreen and responsible water use; visitors are asked not to feed wildlife and to use on-site disposal facilities to minimize impact.
The area around Bávaro was historically agricultural, with small mines and farms; the park repurposes an abandoned mine circuit into an off-road attraction that reflects that legacy.
Photographer's Notes
