A great setting for a really fun ziplining adventure. The guides are excellent - well trained, safety conscious and really funny. Great deadpan sense of humour that we all enjoyed.

Excellent staff with safety first.

We went with our family of four and had a great experience. Staff was shared information about various native plants, etc. as we went between lines. Safety was a priority with all staff. I would book again in the future. Can't wait until they complete...More

Yes you read right, we wanted to do something unusual for Christmas so why not ziplining? We were staying at Black Rock so it was quite a trek but worth it. The guides, Dennis and William, were excellent and I always felt safe. Take the...More

Fun for parents and kids

Wasn’t the highest or longest zipline we’ve done but this was perfect for our 11 year olds. And definitely a good guide ratio: 3 staff for our family of 4. Everyone was friendly and we always felt safe. The braking system was also better than...More

Hi. I am very interested in doing zip lining at Calico Jack's. However, my only concern is driving there. I hear you go somewhat off the beaten track and through winding jungle roads. I am coming from Belmopan City and am wondering if I need to worry about my safety (from robberies) as I drive through these jungle roads, or is there typically enough traffic that you don't need to worry about it? Thanks in advance.

Hi - I zip lined at Cave's Branch and was looking to try a different place and was considering Calico Jack's. I don't like heights - tho the zip lining didn't bother me. what did bother me was the bridge i had to walk across at cave's branch. in looking at these pictures of calico's i see a very tall ladder to a platform and then a woman walking across a "tightrope" like thing - i don't think i'd like either of these aspects! Can anyone let me know what these are like. are they part of the ulitimo tour which is what i was planning on doing. i know it sounds funny to complain of heights but surprisingly the zip lining was fine for me. thank you!
