Treetop Zipline Adventure From Cape Tribulation

Important Notes

To make sure you have a great time, there are a few clothing guidelines to keep in mind prior to your arrival – because safety never looked this good!

1) Please wear secure, enclosed shoes (like sneakers) for your adventure.

2) It’s a good idea to dress appropriately for physical activity. We suggest comfortable attire that’s suitable for wearing a full-body harness, that is flexible, and we recommend opting for something that won’t ride up during your adventure (leave the crop tops or short-shorts at home)

3) Check the weather prior to your arrival. If it looks like rain, or it’s a hot day, dress appropriately. Bring along a waterproof rain jacket or sunscreen and bug spray, weather depending.

4) If you have long hair, don’t forget to tie it back! Opt for a low ponytail to rock with our helmets. Got Rapunzel vibes? Choose a stylish braid or a low bun. It’ll keep your hair out of the way and ensure your safety. We provide gloves, harnesses and helmets! These simple guidelines will help you have a safe and enjoyable time in the treetops!

Following training, guests are allotted approximately 2 hours to complete as many courses as possible during their session.

Generally, guests manage to complete 2-3 courses within this duration on the higher courses. However, on the junior courses, guests complete the courses an average of eight times or more (depending on location).

Participants may select their initial course based on factors like age, ability, weather conditions, and other course restrictions. The decision to begin on a more challenging level is subject to approval by Treetops Adventure Team members only.

A strict weight limit of 120 kg applies. You may be weighed for your own safety.
