ボカウィナ熱帯雨林でのスリリングなジップライン アドベンチャー

The adventure was quite exhausting. It required quite a bit of trekking through the rain forest. By the end of the day, I was completely spent. The guides were amazing, friendly and extremely competent. The ziplining itself was thrilling. I would do it again for sure, but I would recommend you be somewhat fit due to the heat and the hiking.

Andreas and Victor were knowledgeable and hospitable guides. They shared interesting historical and cultural tidbits while on the tour. They provided water twice along the way. Very accommodating of our kids. We felt very safe and saw amazing views along the way. Well worth the money for an experience of a lifetime.

Amazing time with Sandy and Emilio. It was our first time zip lining and they were super informative and patient. They also had great safety measures when coming in too fast on the line. Would definitely recommend!!

I've been on several ziplines in different countries. While this one isn't extraordinary, it was fun and worth the money. It is definitely the best course in Belize. There are 9 lines; the longest one is an impressive 2,300 feet long. Half of the lines are pretty fast, but you can control the speed using your gloved hand as a brake by loosely half-closing around the cable behind you as you zip. There's some short uphill hiking and stairs between zipline platforms, but nothing challenging. I recommend zipping after morning hiking. The zipline can be done in the hotter afternoon since it only takes about 1.5 hours, and the short climbs between platforms are shaded. The ziplines are exposed to the sun, but the breeze during each zip means you don't really feel more heat like you do when you're hiking. While you can arrange the zipline activity on site, I recommend booking ahead to guarantee the day and time of your choice. The Mayflower Bocawina Park park conducts all tours, so I recommend booking directly from their site (Mayflower Bocawina Resort and Adventures). It costs $90 U.S. per person, so it's not cheap, but it's a fun way to end a day of hiking. The guides were personable and professional. They were well trained and used certified equipment. Even though there were about 11 of us in the group, the two guides kept it moving efficiently. I've been on many zipline course, and this one was by far the most efficient for a group of that size. Though there aren't any views on this course (trees and more trees), it was a fun experience. . ***Although I believe this course can be done by first-time zippers and children alike, there are a few things to consider before booking: 1. You need to use your dominant hand as a brake. It's not difficult, but some people might not be comfortable with that. *Note: There ARE safety brake stops at the end of each zipline which function like speedbumps, but zippers are not supposed to approach the platforms at full speed, so some hand-braking is required. 2. Zippers do not practice beforehand. One of the guides explains and demonstrates on a short horizontal cable while zippers watch at eye level, but after that, it's off to the races with a 10ish minute hike up to the first platform. 3. Some lines are taut and others slack. This means 2 things: • Not every zip is the same speed. • Too much braking on a slower line with slack can result in zippers stopping short of the platform because they lack the momentum needed to zip upwards at the end of a drooping line. *If this happens, the zipper must travel the last 5 -10 feet or so hand-over-hand to reach the platform. This is part of the explicit guide demonstration before the course. Zippers can inch up sideways or hang from a sitting position facing backwards, but moving head first toward the landing platform. It sounds scarier than it is. The slowing is so gradual that you eventually come to a dead stop, grabbing the line with the gloved brake hand that's already in position before reaching up to grab the line with the other bare hand. I was the first to zip. Not knowing there was a brake-stopper, I overestimated how much braking was needed and had to come in hand-over-hand up a drooping line. I enjoyed it, but it could be off-putting to a nervous first-timer. . In summary, I recommend the Bocawina Park and enjoyed both the hike and the ziplining. *If you have a rental car, you don't need an all inclusive tour package with transportation and a hiking guide. We drove about 25 minutes to the park from Hopkins, paid the $10 or $15 entrance fee, and hiked the Antelope Trail by ourselves before driving 5 minutes more to the main parking lot where the zip course is located. The check-in office is by the restaurant. Check in and sign a waiver, use the restroom, then head to the zip "shack" to get geared up.

Amazing activity — Fred and Antonio were incredibly kind and full of enthusiasm, which made the experience even better. We did this zipline seven years ago, and it was wonderful to return and see how the site has evolved. The improvements are impressive, and the place is still just as beautiful as we remembered.

Fantastic fun. Linden and crew were great and patient with our family. Thanks!

The guides were absolutely professional patient and funny. The views were stunning and they told us the best places to look as we went down the lines! I felt safe the entire time and when my sister was nervous at one point they were patient and helped her get through it to ensure she and everyone else had the best experience!!

This was a fantastic family activity! We had five children 10 and under and the guides were great with them. Encouraged them, made them feel safe and zip lined with them when needed. The grounds were beautiful and the restaurant was top notch. Would highly recommend this to anyone exploring the area and wanting to do some ziplining!

Excellent kit, even better staff - especially Kevin and Emilio. Belize locals recommend this place for the beautiful setting and safety standards. Took approx 4hrs to do the 9 runs of zip wires across the valley, lunch in the well-stocked restaurant, then we did an un-guided simple 30min hike ourselves to lower falls for a swim - well worth it. Highly recommend this place.

Be ready to climb some stairs! 😝 But well worth it. Our guides were great and I’m sorry I can’t remember their names again but one was quite hilarious. It was enjoyable. Thanks guys.
