Great zip lining experience - Our group of 11, including 3 kids ages 12, 9, and 5, had a great time zip lining. We did the 12+1 and it was a perfect and exciting experience for everyone. Our 5 year old got stuck once (she didn’t quite make it to the other side and slid back to the middle) and was easily “rescued” but the gracious and friendly crew. We also really enjoyed just seeing this part of the island.

Fun times! - The entire experience was awesome. From the driver to entire staff at the excursion location! My best zip-lining experience yet, it was worth every penny!

Super Fun! - This was FUN! This was our first time ziplining but hopefully will not be our last! From start to finish the staff & the overall experience was great. My friend was very nervous & when it came to her turn she couldn’t convince herself to do it (this was her idea to go ziplining lol). She went to the end of the line to gather herself & to watch the rest of our group go one by one. A couple at the end of the line encouraged her & had her go ahead of them so she wouldn’t back out all together but they were very encouraging to her. Other strangers cheered her on! She ended up completing the full course & had a great time. The guys on each platform were so fun & helpful. They really helped to make this adventure the best! Thank you for the fun memories guys!

Thrilling but not terrifying - which is a good thing! - We did this via our resort as part of a triple activity set which included the ziplines, kayaking in the mangroves and snorkelling in Turtle Bay. The 4 stars are purely for the zipline. It was a lovely drive up through the rainforest to get to the ziplines - about 45 mins from our resort on the North side of the island. The team onsite were well-organised and friendly. We got a good safety briefing which put us at ease - despite the first thing we had to do being signing a waiver! We felt reassured with the safety equipment and comprehensive cross checks completed by the staff. Helmets, harnesses, gloves and safety ropes provided. We did the shorter zipline route of 8 lines - I think there are 12 in total. 8 was enough for me as someone with a fear of heights, especially when the rain starting bucketing down just as we got to 'The Screamer'. Fairly quick to navigate them all. There were experts at each station to help you reach the landing zone and to safely move you on to the next line, although I did feel that they were laughing and talking about me when I got stuck on the first line. It's worth noting that on some lines you are responsible for your own braking (they show you how) and others the rangers will manage this for you. The rangers were really encouraging when they noticed anyone who was fearful of heights (me!). Obviously, you can't have anything dangling that could interfere with the safety equipment (hair, jewellery, phones etc) but you can attach a Go-Pro via chest strap or helmet (they had some of these on site). Otherwise, the rangers are responsible for photos and videos - these weren't great to be honest, and pricey. Nice little gift shop, bar and clean toilets available on site too.

Zipline - The staff is not friendly, but does make sure everyone is safe. The ziplines are fun but nothing spectacular for $100.

Such fun ziplining - The actual ziplining was fantastic. We did the full zipline course which is full of some longer some shorter zips. The rangers were super fun, full of chat and really made the whole experience entertaining as well as thrilling. The ziplining itself is 5*. There were also some super cute cats around! Our ride was on time, super friendly, even stopping off to take some pictures for us along route. The one thing that was lacking from this overall experience was the organisation and the collaboration of the provider with viator. I think the majority of people who do this possibly don't book through viator, because the confusion of the staff was crazy. They disappeared off with my ID for ages, three separate people asked me to double check that we'd paid online, and they kept asking us the same questions about how we'd booked over and over again - just seemed absolutely baffled. It meant we were hanging around a lot at the start waiting for them to get everything in order. The description mentions food and water included, and when there was no sign of this and we showed the staff, again they were baffled and told us they actually wanted to take that bit out. They did end up giving us food and drink and were apologetic - the whole thing was just a bit awkward and uncomfortable. It's definitely worth booking via viator because of the pick up and drop off, but I'd encourage the provider to make sure that they understand what is actually being offered.

Great experience - Was a really good experience. The staff were extremely helpful and encouraging especially on the obstacle course. I would have loved have the ability to take more photos but the risk of losing your camera is too much.

A Good Option - There are many tour operators selling this adventure. We were driving by one day and saw it so we booked it online and went along as a group of 2. On the day, there were way too many people, probably 40 or 50, all doing groups, doing different lengths of the zipline. Some were doing paddle boarding or other things afterwards so they go ahead of everyone else. We were doing zipline and obstacle course, so we were the last group, meaning we had to wait for everyone. That took longer and we stood around quite a lot waiting on the guys to finish up with one group to come back to us, so they appear to be using the same staff. It also took about an hour to get everyone ready, check paperwork, get the gear on, do the safety briefing, etc. Whilst it was advertised to begin at 10am and be a 1 hour tour, we didn't finish until after 1pm, so plan accordingly. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, but would say the organisation and set-up could be more efficient. You're not allowed to take photos, have anything in your hand obviously; they do take photos and videos of you but they sell them to you. You can use a go-pro so bring that along if you have it. Would be nice if they gave you one photo for free and allow you to buy the rest and the video if you wanted. Seem harsh to charge almost $100 for a tour and you can't take photos.

Average at Best! Workers Were Very Quiet and Hardly Spoke, No Excitement! - We Arrived by a Taxi filled out some paper work and put our bags in a secure wooden locker. Connie was our liaison, she dropped off at a fitting area. The guys that took us to the zip line did not really say much at all. It was 9 different zip lines total. They do offer you pics and video at the end. Typically the people doing the lines are more excited and make it fun. It was just Average.
