Zip Line Adventure Vacations

Zip line adventure vacations – What is it exactly? Ziplining is where you are attached to a cable usually in a rainforest or similar setting high in the treetops. You travel at high speeds hanging below the cable connected to a harness from point A to point B. You can do this for one zip or a series of zips. The usual heights are anywhere from 30 to 200 feet or more!

Depending on where you go you can see some incredible scenery and see it from a completely different viewpoint. There’s nothing else quite like it. Zipping from the tops of trees in a rainforest in Costa Rica, Hawaii, or similar place is like seeing the forest and scenery like a bird or a monkey would see it in their natural surroundings. Pretty spectacular.

There are a few things you should know before planning your Zip Line adventure trip. What should you wear and what should you bring with you.

You should wear clothes that are comfortable and weather appropriate. Remember most Zip Lines run rain or shine unless there is lightening so be prepared to get wet. Cargo pants, sweat pants, or track pants are all good choices. T-shirts, or light jackets are also a good choice. If you wear prescription glasses or plan on wearing sunglasses make sure you have a strap attached to your head so you don’t lose them.

Shoes are another concern depending on where you are going to Zip Line, you might have somewhat of a hike to get there. So make sure you wear closed toed shoes and that they are comfortable. I recommend a good pair of running or walking shoes. Hiking boots would also be an option.

Don’t forget bug spray! You will be in a forest or similar setting and the bugs could get bad. Also, bringing a camera and sunscreen would be a good idea too.

If you go on a commercial Zip Line Adventure it should be extremely safe and well thought out. They have to follow strict safety guidelines with all of their equipment. They should also give you all the instructions you will need prior to actually jumping off the platform. This way when it’s your turn you should be able to just relax and enjoy the ride!

You do not need to learn any new skills or anything else for that matter to be able to participate in this experience. If you have children, most companies allow 5 years and older to ride, but wherever you choose to go you should contact them and make sure what their guidelines are. Better to be safe than sorry!
