Tree Limin' Extreme Zipline: St. Thomas Caribbean Zipline Adventure

Launch off St. Peter Mountain and streak over rainforest and sea on one of the Caribbean’s most adrenaline-forward ziplines. Tree Limin' combines certified safety with rooftop ocean views and a one-of-a-kind "Yo-Yo" finish that makes the trip more than a thrill—it's a half-day island staple.

The Experience

Before You Go

Arrive Early to Check In

Plan to be at the site 30 minutes before your tour to complete weigh-in, sign waivers, and get fitted for gear.

Wear Closed-Toe Shoes

Shoes with good grip are required—no sandals—because you’ll climb stairs and stand on platforms.

Secure Small Electronics

Bring a wrist or chest strap for cameras and phones; loose items are not permitted on lines for safety.

Hydrate and Protect from Sun

Midday sun on platforms can be strong—drink water and apply reef-safe sunscreen before your run.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Stop at a small roadside stand near the park for local patties and fresh coconut water after your run.
  • Drive a short distance to a lookout above Magens Bay for panoramic photos without the beach crowds.

Wildlife

  • Caribbean lizards (anoles)
  • Coastal seabirds like frigatebirds and brown pelicans

Conservation Note

Operators emphasize staying on platforms and not removing native plants; visitors are encouraged to use reef-safe sunscreen and pack out waste to protect fragile coastal ecosystems.

The north shore trails of St. Thomas trace back to colonial-era ridgelines and trade paths that connected plantation sites; modern tourism repurposes these old corridors for ecological recreation.

Photographer's Notes

Best times:Morning (cool light, fewer crowds), Late afternoon (softer shadows), Overcast for even light
Key viewpoints:
  • From the highest platform for wide ocean panoramas
  • Mid-course sky bridge for framed canopy shots
  • Lookouts near Magens Bay for post-zip beach vistas
Subjects to capture:Ocean vistas and islands, Canopy and sky-bridge compositions, Action shots on the Yo-Yo swing
