The Experience
Before You Go
Arrive early for fitting
Plan to arrive 30–45 minutes before your departure to complete check-in, safety briefing, and harness fitting without rushing.
Wear secure footwear
Closed-toe hiking shoes or trail runners keep your feet safe during landings and short walks between platforms.
Protect electronics
Use a wrist-strap or chest mount for cameras; loose devices are not allowed on many lines and can be lost.
Hydrate and eat light
A light snack and water beforehand maintain energy—avoid heavy meals immediately prior to ziplines to reduce discomfort.
