Canopy Tours

[MsShelley]

Has anyone ever done or know of a place in Punta Cana that does canopy tours, I am searching online but don't see anything.

[Alyssa]

no, i don't think there are any.

 

and honestly, after being there, it is not really set up for a lot of 'off-site' activities. Punta Cana is great for AI's and water sports

[MsShelley]

that's what I was thinking. I know that Costa Rica and Puerta Vallarta have them. Maybe that's why I couldn't find anything.

 

Alyssa, where have you stayed or where would you recommend?

 

Looking at pictures, I am leaning towards the Grand Oasis

Shelley,

 

we stayed at Paradisus Palma Real, which is an AI. I am not usually a fan of big resorts and I really, really liked it. It is new (18 to 24 months old), everything is very well maintained, the food is good, there are a lot of activities, the beach is AWESOME!, the spa is fantastic, it is not too far from the airport (drive time). i thought it was pretty affordable. We went for a DW and did an air/hotel package for a week.

 

Also - i have heard amazing things about Tortuga Bay (i don't know what their website is but they are listed on Luxury Link Tortuga Bay Hotel, Dominican Republic - LuxuryLink.com). Friends stayed here and raved about it - apparently it was designed by Oscar de la Renta and is amazing!

 

also - DR has some of the best beaches ever!

Hey Shelley~

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm thinking canopy tours is along the lines of ziplining, or a little similar.

 

Here is a site in/near PC that offers zip line tours (among other tours/activities) that we are thinking about checking out during our visit: WELCOME TO :: FARALLON ZIP-LINES ADVENTURES

 

Its currently $89/pp for 4 1/2 hours.

I know, it sounds fun! I was thinking about doing this with my guests, but I think it lasts for about 8 hours. I think that may be too long, seeing that most guests will only be there for 4 days, and I'm already taking up some of their vacation time for the wedding! So maybe me and the FI can do this during our honeymoon!
