We had an amazing day ziplining at Tree Limin' Extreme! A magical trip aboard the Disney Fantasy cruise ship brought us to St. Thomas, and we purchased the zipline tour port excursion package through the cruise line. I was certain we were in for a miserable day as a downpour came right as we were getting off the ship to board the taxis. By the time we reached Tree Limin' Extreme though, the rain had stopped and by the time we were in our gear the sun was back out and heralding a gorgeous island day.

Our zip guides Joseph and Shanee got all of our group of 10 into harnesses in short order and we had a quick truck ride to the first platform. Joseph and Shanee did a fantastic job of guiding us through the crucial safety information while making sure we were all having too much fun to worry about any last-minute jitters.

The entire course is across 6 different zip lines and two suspension bridges. We had unforgettable views of the ocean and the islands, and Joseph and Shanee told us so much about the history and landmarks of the island, as well as about the flora and fauna. We saw a few amazing specimens of iguana lounging in the treetops!

The last of the six ziplines is known as a "yo-yo" where, unlike the others, instead of going from platform to platform, you zip across and back again a few times until you settle in the middle. They roll out a handy club store-style metal staircase so you can unhook and descend.

This was truly an enjoyable experience, and I really appreciate Joseph, Shanee and all the staff for such a fantastic and unforgettable day.
