La Hacienda Park Day Trip

Your tour to La Hacienda Park starts with hotel pickup in Bavaro, Punta Cana, Uvero Alto, Bayahibe, La Romana, Juan Dolio or Boca Chica. During the 1-hour journey from the last hotel in the route (from 95% of the hotels), listen to commentary from your guide about the local people and their life in this nature paradise.

When you arrive at the modern park, receive a briefing by the staff about the three activities you'll enjoy during your visit (in no specific order). Drive along a riverbed in a Polaris buggy designed to be operated under the most extreme conditions, and cross mud trenches, traverse the middle of a coffee plantation, and cruise into the water. You will also have a break to swim in the pure waters of the Anamuya River.

On horseback, ride along a route that takes you across streams and up mountains, designed by experts to ensure that even children can enjoy it. Surrounding the complex's perimeter, discover the safari route, which will take you past scenes of Dominican field history; learn about the importance of coffee plantations for the country's economy, see mango and sour sop trees, pass by sugar and cocoa plantations, and check out a local village complete with cow milking.

Experience the first chairlift in the country, with outstanding views of the area. There are 5 lines of zipline waiting for you, including the longest in all Caribbean, and one of the fastest, traveling faster than 45 miles per hour. At the end of the fifth line, have the chance to practice your quick jump from 65 feet (20 meters) high.

After completing your activities, head to a typical but contemporary Dominican restaurant where several authentic dishes are available at the buffet, such as pumpkin soup, fish prepared with coconut, or fried bananas.

Your time ends with a group farewell party, including a local band playing typical instruments and songs. Then return to hotels for drop-off.
