Private Belize Zipline & Baboon Sanctuary Experience — Savanna Zips, Crocs & Rum

The Experience
Before You Go
Hydrate before and during the tour
Carry at least 1 liter of water; the guides may provide short breaks but tropical heat can dehydrate you fast.
Wear secure, closed-toe shoes
Sturdy sneakers or trail shoes protect feet on platforms and during short hikes between lines.
Protect your camera
Use a tethered camera or phone strap — wind and motion make loose devices a loss risk on ziplines.
Check health and weight restrictions
If you have heart, back problems, or are pregnant, or if you’re near typical weight limits, confirm suitability with the operator before booking.
