Zip lining is super fun and really is one of the must do things for anyone with a sense of adventure.
If you are looking for your next thrill, there are so many places you can go zipping worldwide, from jungles, mountains, beaches and exotic islands.
Check out our guide to the world’s most amazing ziplines.
1. Arenal Volcano Zip Line, Costa Rica
This crazy zip line is in Arenal Volcano Park and the two-mile ride takes you over the jungle, the volcano and the lake. The last time the Arenal Volcano erupted was 1984, but the rangers monitor the lava flow to make sure you’re able to ride safely. You won’t have to “ride at your own risk”, thankfully. Enjoy the beauty of the jungle and being so close to a volcano!
2. Icy Strait Point, Alaska
Icy Strait Point is a very popular destination for cruise ships. Ziprider is one of the largest in the world, a staggering 5,200+ feet long zip line and is over a minute and a half whilst you’re riding. You and 5 other friends can take off at the same time on the deck and race each other! This is a lot of fun and also the chance to make some new friends. The average speed is around 60mph while the record is 82 mph!
3. Simatai, China
The Gubeikou Town of Miyun County brings you on the zip line over one of the Seven Wonders of the World. That wonder is the Great Wall of China. You can choose to chairlift or walk, you can check out the Simatai part of the wall and it’s 6th century architecture. But to go back down, you can take a zip line over the lake called Mandarin Duck Lake. If you have never been on this one, you really need to!
4. Whistler, British Columbia, Canada
This zip line at Whistler, BC was actually featured in the 2010 Winter Olympic Games. The zip line includes lines that range from 200 feet to a whopping 1000 feet. But if you’re looking to be a tad more adventurous, you can choose the freestyle zip line that allows you to go upside down and pretty much scare yourself to death. But hey – it’s all a part of the zip-lining thrill!
5. Labadee, Haiti
An off the beaten track and exclusive zipline which is only available to passengers on Royal Caribbean cruises. This zipline claims to be the longest/largest in the world, taking you 2,600 feet. This one drops you 500 feet over the gorgeous blue waters and mountains while keeping you between 40 and 50 miles per hour at maximum speeds.
