Will echo the sentiments expressed in previous reviews. Just fun times all-around.

Was about a 45-minute ride from Costa Dorado beach area so overall, about 1.5 hours of travel, a good hour or so dedicated to equipment set-up and orientation, and maybe an hour worth of zip-lining ... basically traveling from platform to platform, around 8 "mini" trips in all. The distance between the platforms ranged from 100m to 400m.

At the site, the guides were very focused on safety and made sure everyone in the group understood what zip-lining was all about (the do's and don'ts). I'd say people in our diverse group ranged from young child (12 or so) into the 50's and unanimously had a great time.

We went to Yasika zip lining after reading the reviews here and is was a great excursion! Great view of the mountains and great pictures and memories to bring home. The staff was great and everything is super safe. From 8:30 in the morning to 12:30. It cost us 70$ in the Plaza at Playa Doroda.

If you only have the chance to do one excursion during your trip to Puerto Plata, make Yasiki Adventures the one! We ranged in age from 14 to 56 and most of us are not thrill-seekers. Although we were nervous, the guides helped us to feel comfortable and safety was always in the forefront! From the top down, the staff were friendly, courteous and reassuring. From the time of pickup at our hotel through to the end of the ziplining platforms, the fun didn't end! The facility is very clean, the staff speak English fairly well and the person who trains you speaks English fluently. It is a great way to see the beautiful scenery in the mountains but at the same time seek a little adventure! I would highly recommend this half-day excursion - it has only been up and running for about eighteen months but Cesar and his wife are really trying to attract tourists by offering a clean, safe and exciting adventure that is affordable and fun - certainly not run-of-the-mill. Make sure to do your own booking and you will get a $9.00 (US) discount. The website is very informative as well.

What a rush......OMG we had so much fun. We went zip lining last week when we were in the DR. My two 14 year olds and I went and had an absolute blast. I had never done anything like that before and did not regret doing it at all. Sure, I was terrified before going off the first platform but quickly got over that. The staff were all amazing and made everyone feel very safe and prepared for the adventure. Our instructor Franklin was very good and made sure everyone was comfortable before taking their turn. These young men who work at the zip line have the BEST JOB in the DR. Since getting home I have been telling everyone about my zip lining experience. If you go to POP you should have this adventure. We were very lucky in an odd way. We were picked up by the manager Cesar P because the bus was going to be late because of a flat tire. What a great guy. Very informative and a good businessman. I learned alot from him as we talked non-stop to and from the site. The zip line is on the "tourist road" to Santiago and the drive out there was absolutely breathtaking. You get an amazing view back over POP and the Atlantic Ocean. This 1/2 day adventure is one not to be missed when visiting the area. Next time I go back I am going back....taking my husband next time.
