What fun we had! It was a great morning, the sun shine, light breeze and I know the staff ordered it just for me! Speaking of the staff, they were fabulous. They were great at making us feel very safe, comfortable, and kept us laughing. The zip line seamed short but really alot of fun. We were also scheduled for the Terripan Tower and enjoyed it all. We made some new friends and had a great experience. My only suggestion is that if your hands are manicured - take a pair of gloves for the Terripan Tower. Other than that - Enjoy!
Thought the zip line would actually be longer and higher up, but it was not too bad.
Going down the zip line was super cool! But for this event you only get 1 ride down the zipline, so I was disappointed in that. We ended up staying at the Terrapin Adventures and doing other activities (spending more $$).
