Stops along the tour move from orientation and gear-up into progressively longer zipline crossings and final landings back at the course.

  1. Orientation & Flight School

    Guides fit you with state-of-the-art equipment and lead a walking introduction where participants practice on the gear before beginning the course.

  4. Final Runs and Return

    The tour concludes with the remaining ziplines and return to the staging area after approximately one to two hours on the course.
