Zip Line & Canopy Tours and Adventures
Zip lines are sprouting as fast as foliage in the tree canopies you’ll slide through during a zipline adventure. Once, considered an exotic way to view nature from above, now days, you can find a zipline adventure (sometimes called a “canopy tour”) in dozens of places around North America, the Caribbean, Hawaii, Peru, New Zealand and many other countries.
Zipline adventures let you soar from tree to tree in rain forests, across canyons and through a variety of landscapes, giving you a bird’s-eye view of the world surrounding you.
Zipping along 10 zip lines in one trip was a wild intro to the world of zip line adventures. But that’s what you get when you take the Zip Line Adventure at Tsitsikamma Coastal National Park in South Africa. (Adrenalin junkies note: When you’ve done this, head over to Bloukrans Bridge and do the bungie jump.)
What is bungy jumping? Bungy jumping, or bungee jumping as it is sometimes spelled, is defined as jumping off a tall structure to which you are connected by a long elastic cord. The cord stretches as you fall toward the earthy, and when it reaches its limit, before you hit the ground, the cord snaps back and you careen upwards.
