Safety

Safety is our top priority. Our guides fit you with state-of-the-art equipment and safety information is reviewed prior to each zip line tour. Zip line guides have trained extensively in the proper techniques and procedures of safety. Each piece of equipment and lines are inspected daily. Our guides will ensure your safety while you have fun!  Each guest can fly relaxed, knowing that they are connected with two attachment points on each zip line. Our zip lines are designed to use a gravity braking system complemented by an arrester system and our guides. This means it's hands free and worry free for your enjoyment!
