La Hacienda Park safety guide: how we protect your family
Chairlifts at La Hacienda Park
Our safety standards at La Hacienda Park go beyond local regulations, integrating cutting-edge technology at every station:
Ziplines and QuickJump
We use a dual cable system with high-resistance pulleys. In addition, we have automatic braking systems, eliminating human error: your children don’t need to brake themselves — the system does it smoothly upon arrival.
Polaris buggies
Unlike other tours in the Dominican Republic, our buggies run on a private circuit. This means no trucks, no outside motorcycles, and no external traffic. Vehicles are equipped with a roll cage, multi-point seat belts, and are mechanically inspected every morning.
Chairlift
It is the only one in the country and includes a safety locking system that prevents the bar from being lifted during the ride. Operators are always present at boarding and disembarking points, monitoring each passenger.
Horseback riding
Our horses are specifically trained to interact safely with children and adults without prior experience. The routes are gentle and always supervised by expert guides who control the group’s pace.
Trained staff and health protocols
Safety in Punta Cana excursions depends not only on equipment, but also on people.
Certified guides:
Our team receives continuous training in height rescue procedures and customer care.
Medical protocol:
We have a fully equipped first aid station and constant radio communication between all park stations.
Health restrictions:
For safety reasons, activities are not suitable for pregnant women or individuals with chronic back, neck, or severe heart conditions.

The verdict for parents
We know that taking the step toward an adventure activity with children can raise concerns. However, at La Hacienda Park, we have designed an ecosystem where risk is professionally managed so families can focus on conquering new challenges.
Seeing the pride on a child’s face after completing their first zipline is priceless — and knowing they did it under the highest safety standards in the industry gives you the peace of mind you deserve.
