Ready to See Punta Cana From Above? Zipline at TRS Turquesa

Have you ever wondered what the Punta Cana jungle looks like from the sky? Maybe you’ve seen photos on social media and the idea of flying across a zip line catches your attention—but you’re not sure where to start. And I get it. As a tourism agency with seven years of experience organizing this type of excursion, we’ve heard every possible question: Is it safe? Is it worth it? What should I know? Can my older parents do it? How much does it cost?

That’s exactly why we decided to clear up all those doubts in this blog. It was created to answer the questions we hear every single day.

What Is the Zipline at TRS Turquesa?

The first question we hear whenever we mention this excursion is: “What exactly is a zipline?”

Ziplining consists of a circuit of 12 ziplines connected through 18 platforms suspended among the trees. The longest line stretches about 800 meters, and along the ride you’re lifted nearly 800 meters above the valley, with breathtaking views of the Anamuya Mountain landscape.

And what is TRS Turquesa?

If you haven’t booked your stay in Punta Cana yet, let me tell you—it’s an adults-only luxury resort located on Bávaro Beach. (In another blog I’ll tell you how spectacular this place really is.) Basically, if you stay at this hotel, this is one of the incredible experiences you can add to your trip.

Is Zip Lining Safe?

Safety is the number one concern among travelers—and to give you a quick, simple answer: yes, as long as you choose a professional operator and follow their instructions.

A more complete answer would be this: ziplining is an adventure activity, so naturally, there are risks. That’s why we always insist: book with reputable operators and follow the guidelines of the instructors.

For example, this year alone, we’ve had an average of 320,000 people participate in this activity. Everything went smoothly because we ensure that our operators meet safety standards—and because our travelers cooperate by following instructions.

Other Questions Travelers Always Ask

We know that after talking about safety, new doubts arise. Here are the most common ones, exactly as we hear them at the agency:

How do I choose a reliable company?

Check the operator’s reputation:

• Read online reviews

• Check how long they’ve been in business

• Ask what safety certifications they have

If that information isn’t on their website, send them a message or give them a call. A professional company will gladly explain their standards.

At our agency, we’ve accumulated over 500 positive reviews, and we’re always ready to show our credentials.

What age and weight limits should I consider?

• Minimum age: 6 years

• Kids under 12 can participate only up to cable 8

• Minimum weight: 20 kg (44 lb)

• Maximum weight: 127 kg (280 lb)

• Waist limit: 112 cm

If someone in your group doesn’t meet the requirements, they can still join as an observer, enjoying the views from the platforms for the same price as a child’s ticket.

How should I behave on the zipline?

Listen to the instructor and follow their guidance exactly. They’ll explain how to put on the harness, how to hold on, and when to brake.

Always use the equipment provided—helmets, harnesses, and gloves are included—and avoid jewelry or loose clothing that could get caught.

Two Traveler Stories We Love to Share

Charlie and Loren were on their honeymoon. He had vertigo and was unsure about doing the zip line. During the briefing, they explained everything—he still asked five times if it was safe. After the third line, he was screaming with excitement. Back at the resort, he told me it was the best part of their vacation and that he’d do it again without hesitation.

Alison came with her friend Eliza. Her biggest fear was getting stuck halfway. Before starting, they practiced on a small test line, and her worries disappeared. They ended up laughing nonstop and now recommend the activity to everyone.

Can my parents or older adults do it?

We’ve seen people in their 70s enjoy this activity. It all depends on their physical condition and whether they meet the weight and mobility requirements. If they’re unsure, the best advice is to check with their doctor. If they don’t feel comfortable, they can still join as observers and enjoy the atmosphere.
