ZIP LINES
What are Zip Lines?
A zip line is a thrilling adventure element that allows participants to travel along a suspended steel cable using a pulley system. Riders are securely harnessed and propelled by gravity from one end of the line to the other, often crossing scenic landscapes such as valleys, rivers, or forest canopies. Zip lines can vary in length and speed, from short, beginner-friendly rides to adrenaline-pumping, long-span courses.
Canopy Tours: These are a specialized type of zip line experience situated within the forest canopy. Unlike traditional zip lines, canopy tours typically incorporate interpretative elements, offering participants educational insights about the surrounding environment, such as wildlife, flora, and the ecosystem. Many canopy tours also include additional features, such as suspension bridges, observation platforms, or climbing challenges, creating a more immersive and engaging adventure.
