Zipline With Soda, Fees Included

Overview

Six zip lines through the tree canopy, a guide with you the whole way, and a soda included in the day: that is the core of this half-day outing from Vacation On RD. The whole experience runs about 4 hours and travels in an air-conditioned vehicle, though pickup is not listed as an inclusion. All fees and taxes are listed as included in the booking.

One reviewer described arriving nervous for a first zipline and being put at ease by staff, after which the runs were fun. A Spanish-speaking traveller also praised the guides for making them feel safe.

What it does not include is tips, souvenirs and photos, so budget a little cash for those if you want them. One reviewer mentioned their driver taking them to a souvenir shop afterwards. The excursion can take up to 150 travellers, so expect a busy, group-style day rather than an intimate session.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points worth knowing before you book this one.

• What to bring. Tips, souvenirs and photos are not included, so bring cash if you want any of them. Comfortable clothes and closed shoes make sense for a harness day, though the listing does not specify a dress code.
• First-timers. One reviewer said this was their first time zipping and that the staff made them comfortable. They were nervous on the first line and fine afterwards. The guides are repeatedly called friendly and professional.
• Group feel. The tour allows up to 150 travellers, so it is a large group operation. One reviewer who ended up with solo transport said they would have preferred the group vehicle, so if you have a preference it is worth raising at booking.
• Hotel pickup. The listing does not state pickup as an inclusion, though reviewers describe being collected from their hotels, so check arrangements with the operator once you have booked. Reviews mention confusion between similarly named resorts, for example two different Dreams properties, so double-check the exact hotel name on your confirmation.
• Weather and timing. The experience requires good weather. If it is cancelled for poor conditions you are offered a different date or a full refund. The whole outing lasts about 4 hours including transfers.
• Drinks. A soda or pop is included in the price. Nothing else about food is listed, so do not count on a meal and plan around mealtimes accordingly.

Common issues. One reviewer said the driver took them to the wrong zip line course, where they had to be unharnessed and driven to the correct one, and then did only four of the six listed lines because two were broken that day. Another reported a mix-up between two resorts with similar names that led to friction over correcting it. The listing also notes the tour is not wheelchair accessible and is not recommended for travellers with back problems or who are pregnant. Rescheduling for illness was possible in one case but carried a fee.
