lucybug Posted March 18, 2015 #2 Share Posted March 18, 2015 St. Kitts it was beautiful! You zip above and thru the trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
microbuck Posted March 18, 2015 #3 Share Posted March 18, 2015 We used Caribe Sky in Roatan, Mahogany Bay. Google them, we had a great time (wife and college daughters). The guides were great, filmed and photos of all of us with our phones and camera. We had a blast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rochesterboatingdotcom Posted March 18, 2015 #4 Share Posted March 18, 2015 RCI's zipline on Labadee - it's like a mile long right over the ocean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ethel813 Posted March 18, 2015 #5 Share Posted March 18, 2015 St. Kitts by far ... as you zip over the trees, the beautiful aqua ocean is off to your left ... absolutely breathtaking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenniferop Posted March 18, 2015 #6 Share Posted March 18, 2015 DH and I Zip lined in Ochos Rios, Jamaica and LOVED IT! You also zip line through the trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mum2bradley Posted March 18, 2015 #7 Share Posted March 18, 2015 St. Kitts it was beautiful! You zip above and thru the trees. St. Kitts. It was build by a Canadian company and you stop by a spring mechanism. You don't have to wear those gloves and hang on to the zip line. It was awesome. But book early as it sells out.

SadieN Posted March 18, 2015 #9 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Icy Straight Point, Alaska. Over a mile long. Start above the cloud line and end at the beach. ziprider.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pooksma Posted March 18, 2015 #10 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Loved the zipline on St.Kitts!Our son was 10 at the time and he thought it was a blast. Going to try one on St. Thomas next trip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny in TX Posted March 18, 2015 #11 Share Posted March 18, 2015 We have ziplined twice in Montego Bay, Jamaica and it was awesome! You are in the rainforest above the tree line. Beautiful experience and the company Carnival uses (Chukka) is top notch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kteachcruiser52 Posted March 18, 2015 #13 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Another vote for St. Kitts Sky Safari zip line. I loved their no hands breaking system and the view of the ocean to the left and the vegetation was beautiful. My husband, a civil engineer, looked at the building specs for zip lines on the islands we were going to and liked the construction on this one the best. he said it used concrete instead of timbers.

tree.critter Posted March 18, 2015 #15 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I vote easily for the Original Canapy tour in Costa Rica's Veragua Rain Forest.....through the treetops, across valleys, awesome hosts/guides. Best single excursion ever that I've taken and am ready to go back to Colon to do it again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k9_Cop Posted March 18, 2015 #17 Share Posted March 18, 2015 We did zip lining in Jamaica and St Lucia. Both were fun, both were in the forest going from tree to tree, and both had an added surprise in them. My wife is more the zip lining person than I am, but I still had fun.

MCC retired Posted March 18, 2015 #19 Share Posted March 18, 2015 We zip lined for the first time in San Juan PR , Carnival ship tour . Through the woods , some over water , some hundreds of feet up.. Very good equipment and guides . Learned fast . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzeluver Posted March 18, 2015 #20 Share Posted March 18, 2015 St. Kitts is awfully good. The views are great and the equipment made us feel very safe. But I got to give the nod to the Original Canopy Tour in Costa Rica. The scenery there beats just about anything we have ever seen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebr.cruiser Posted March 19, 2015 #21 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I think it is the zip line in Costa Rica. We've zipped on Roatan and in Costa Rica (Pacific side). Loved both, but the Costa Rica zip was awesome--through and over a rain forest, over a rushing stream, stops at waterfalls, many, many lines (like 20 or so)--wonderful.

cruznjan Posted March 19, 2015 #22 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Did the zip in Costa Rica with Original Canopy. It was great zipping through the trees, and then being caught by those good looking Ticos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was great zipping through the trees, and then being caught by those good looking Ticos. When we did it one of of the ladies on the excursion got stuck half way due to more "brake" being applied than necessary. One of he workers hooked went out wrapped his legs around her waist and armed over armed hi way back to the next station. Her response was, can we do that again?
