Ian T 162 Posted July 15, 2020 Report Share Posted July 15, 2020 Ever the optimists, we have booked two sailings to the Caribbean in 2021/22. We want to ride a zip line (or two); however the question is which experience(s) to choose. Dragon's Breath at Labadee looks awesome and has already made the list, but we also have further options at Twilight Canopy, San Juan Pelican, St Maarten Canopy Tour, Antigua Hotwire Pitons, St Lucia Sky Safari, St Kitts Countryside Adventure, Dominican Rep. Does anyone feel that any of the above are worthy of a special mention (good or not so good)? cruisellama 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KWong 406 Posted July 16, 2020 Report Share Posted July 16, 2020 I haven't been on any of these, but I would factor in the distance to/from the cruise ship on any of these. Labadee has always looked like fun, but I think traversing amongst the trees and doing multiple zips probably brings more adventure to the excursion. Ian T 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DDaley 494 Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 I'd like to toss in Rainforest Adventures in the Castries Waterworks Preserve for St. Lucia. I ended up choosing it over the Pitons zip you listed because it includes an aerial tram through the jungle to get to the ziplines from the base station. It was amazing, I loved being in the rainforest! Seeing the Pitons may be the deciding factor though, now I just have to go back again to see them Ian T 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mathias 12 Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 I have done some zip-lining excursions in the Caribbean and elsewhere with my wife and I must say it is fun and exciting the first few times but the novelty wears off fast. My advice would be to not book several zip-line excursions during the same cruise. Ian T 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
monctonguy 1,724 Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 Labadee is scary as hell!....While I havent done others, going over some tree tops and through some forests sounds much more easy and more relaxing than a 600ft drop off into nothing!....I did it with others who had zip-lined before and they agreed that this was much more intense... But enjoy! :) Ian T 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
