Tour Details

This is an innovative eco-tourism experience that both adults and children can enjoy. Based 2,000 ft up into the hills of St Ann, the location affords breath taking views, exhilarating activities and a chance to meet the locals. Upon arrival, each person is greeted with a natural fruit drink in a Bamboo or coconut cup. Zip line orientation then takes place, followed by a 10 minute chat with Mama TunTun - she knows all about herbs and their benefits. Most people in the surrounding communities go to her as an alternative to the doctor; she will explain that some things can be bought from your local health shop. This is followed by reading and signing the disclaimer and health declaration forms. This just ensures that everyone takes responsibility for themselves and their actions. Harnessing then takes place, and onto the first Zip. The climb is 30 feet up into the air, using the staircase or the outside staples whilst attached to a belay rope. From the platform you zip 440 feet across the valley, where catchers are waiting to remove you from the line. Zip no 2 is a little bit more challenging; there are no stairs so you must climb up the staples on the outside of the pole whilst attached to a safety line. (approximately 20 feet) Then you free fall for 12 feet before you travel forward on the line for about 40 feet . The 3rd Zip is 1100 ft which is the longest of all. From each of the zips you can take a leisurely walk back to base, via numerous tracks flanked by heliconias, crotons, plantains, and almond and coconut trees. Please note: Zip line does not accommodate tandem riders.
