Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE SPEED

Fast, Focused Runs

The package covers runs through roughly 3,000 feet of canopy where participants can reach speeds up to 35 mph — a short, intense course that puts velocity front and center.

THE OPTIONS

Choose Four or Six Lines

This offering is built around either a four-line or six-line sequence drawn from a larger canopy roster: the full site contains ten lines in total, and these shorter packages let you experience the core ziplines without committing to the longer tours.

THE SAFETY

Industry-Grade Braking

Xtreme Park Adventures uses an engineered ZIP STOP braking system, presented as the operator’s primary safety measure, so even short-package runs rely on a controlled, modern braking setup.
