Jeana and Nat were awesome guides. We were a group of 10. A couple of people were very nervous. They put everyone at ease;. no one was afraid by the end of the experience. I heard one man say that he was so proud of himself for overcoming a fear of heights that he had. Great job, great experience. This was our fourth time doing it, and this was the best.!
My husband and I went to the Zipline Eco Tour for my birthday and our guides were Nat and Cruz. They made the experience so fun and memorable. They were not only knowledgeable about zip lining and the island and its plants, but they also made us feel safe and secure throughout our entire experience. Thank you both again for making us have such a great time!
This zipline is completely safe, with multiple redundant safety features. I would never sky dive or hang glide, but I won’t hesitate to do this zipline. And Jamin and Ellie sure made it fun and they certainly know their stuff!
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you felt safe and confident throughout your Zip Line Eco Tour experience. We look forward to welcoming you back for another adventure soon!
My wife and I had a blast on the zip lines here! Our guides KB and Nat were fun, friendly, and kept us laughing while also reassuring more nervous participants. Most importantly, their emphasis on safety made the whole experience truly enjoyable. Do this activity for the thrill of ziplining! They have five awesome courses with beautiful views. The eco tour part of the activity (interpretive signs) is interesting and gives some cool info about the island, but I'd highly recommend the conservancy's eco tour on the island if you're really looking for more learning on that front.
Thanks for the fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear you and your wife enjoyed the Zip Line Eco Tour and that your guides made your experience memorable. We hope to see you back for more adventures soon!
Great experience! The guides Felix and David were very professional and patient with me. I was scared but they helped me to feel more confident and complete all the lines!
Thanks for your kind review! We're thrilled to hear you had a great experience and that Felix and David provided the support you needed. We hope to see you again for more adventures.
Very friendly staff who explained everything in detail for the smoothest experience possible. Shoutout to Felix and Elena!

The views were amazing but the guides (Elias & Ellie) definitely made the experience even more memorable. Worth the experience.
Thank you for your review! We're so glad you enjoyed the Zip Line Eco Tour and had a great time with your guides. We hope to see you back soon!
My wife and I booked a month in advance and secured a 10AM tour. We arrived ahead of our scheduled time and were helped by the woman at the check in counter. When we walked to the zip line tour meeting area, we were greeted by two very enthusiastic guides: Jesse and Sully. They were very personable and helped us all feel comfortable throughout the entire tour; from safety training, to the bus ride (which we all jammed to some great 80s music) and at every station. They helped us make adjustments at each station. What I really enjoyed about our guides was their sense of human and their personalities. The made us feel very safe and comfortable. If we were to do this again, I would hope it’s with Jesse and Sully. The only thing that could be improved was the purchasing for videos and photos of our experience. We didn’t have access to them at the end of our tour. The attendant said they might be uploaded in the afternoon. Since this morning, I haven’t seen them but will try again. Overall, I would highly recommend this experience! Thank you Sully and Jesse for making this zip line tour so memorable!
Thanks for sharing your experience with us! We're thrilled to hear that Jesse and Sully made your tour so enjoyable and memorable. We appreciate your feedback on the photo and video access and will work to improve that process. Hope to see you both again for another adventure!
