How to pick a good zipline tour
- Check the number of lines and the longest run; tours range from a few short lines to a full canopy course.
- Operators set weight limits and minimum ages, so check them before booking.
- Wear closed shoes and leave loose items behind; most courses offer lockers.
- Rain doesn't always stop ziplining, but lightning and strong wind do. Ask about the cancellation rule.
