How to pick a good zipline tour

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