The ziplining was great. I took my 10 year old and it was fantastic! It was easy to get there. We took the bus from town and walked a short few minutes. The ziplining was great and the staff was very friendly. I highly recommend!

We did this experience today as a family of 4. We all found this an amazing experience from the beginning. The guides were fantastic from the beginning of the tour. The 5 zip lines were fantastic with beautiful scenery. Would definitely recommend for all.

Highlight of our trip!

Beautiful location and great guides ! This was a highlight to our trip. The five zips are mostly over a river with lush trees. The guides showed us everything we needed to do and were very professional. We loved it!

Must Do

So fun and beautiful scenery! We were in port for one day with a cruise, and this was a perfect activity. I reached out a few times prior to ensure times and cruise aligned and always received quick and helpful responses. Our guides were incredible, friendly, and energetic.
