Zip Line!!

Post by OPHarbor »

I replied to a previous subject about this but would really like to know if anyone has done this, and where. We just got back from a cruise and did this in Roatan. I know there are many in Costa Rica. If anyone is wondering what it is, it's where they take you to the top of a mountain (foothill) and hook you up to a suspended cable by a pully, then you zip down to the next junction and do it again, until you end at the bottom. It was a blast and now Mrs. Harbor is dying to go somewhere else. please let me know where the best one's are.

If you do a web search on Zip line tours I am sure you will come up with a ton more. But I am sure there are a few people here who can recommend places as well.

There's one in Puerto Vallarta- it was a lot of fun, but not particularly scenic.
We're trying to find another tour operator in Puerto Rico- one only goes on the canyoning tour on Saturdays (they have a caving tour with zip lines, but I'm not really a cave person) and the other one has let their website expire, returned my request for more info with the same info that was on their website, and hasn't answered any direct questions- I am just not willing to trust my life to them.
