More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The boat first cuts through a sheet of light — turquoise water that dares you to look up. Within minutes you’re clipped into a harness, the speedboat throttles forward, and the parachute fills like a giant eye opening to the sky. At roughly 150 meters (500 feet) above Bavaro Beach you get a clean, unobstructed view of the reef line, palm-fringed sand, and the slow tilt of the Caribbean horizon.
