Went zip lining during our cruise so we booked through carnival. It was amazing. The staff were very courteous and patient. The place was really nice and looked legit. When we first arrived we were introduced and informed of safety rules. We were then given a chance to use the restrooms because afterwards we were to be harnessed for about the next 2 hours. Next we were fitted into our harness and hard hats, the staff were super patient and helped us with all the equipment. You had to have close toe shoes - we were walking outside in dirt, up stone stairwells, up stairs for each zip line location and even across bridges. You were allowed to wear backpacks, and video/take pictures during your zipline, 1 family with us had a little boy and he was allowed to ride tandem with an adult. Next we were off to begin. First we had an introduction with a mock set up of the zipline with cables and how each time before we were sent off we would receive an inspection from the staff - all about safety. Then we began our zip-lining fun. We had 6 stations. Being that I had never zip-lined before I was really apprehensive and afraid I would make it across - all for nothing, they stated that in the case that you did not make it all the way across the staff was prepared to come and reel you in. The zip line experience was really cool, It was nice passing through the trees and seeing views of the ocean at some spots. The only scary part was crossing the bridge - it really swayed a lot. The further you got the more daring the take off became - the last three you could actually run and jump off into the zip. The 2 basic positions they taught us were the cradle like a cannonball position and lazy chair position. Midway they had a quick snack station which was nice because even though there was a nice breeze it was still warm. The last post you were able to go backwards and forwards and then they retrieved you and we returned to the beginning. I would definitely recommend the tour. As I said the staff were really nice, made it enjoyable, very informative about the island and making you laugh the entire time. I really had fun
