Sky Trek Zipline while pregnant?
Save

I will be in Arenal next month and will be 18 weeks pregnant (just barely showing). I had planned this trip long before I knew I was pregnant and really had my sights set on the Sky Trek ziplining. Does anyone know if Sky Trek has a policy on taking pregnant women ziplining? I've been reading that Sky Trek is not rough since they allow even small children to try. Any thoughts from those who have been?

Thanks!

What does your doctor say? Are you in good physical shape? do you exercise often?

No health issues whatsoever. I was just unsure if the actual process of ziplining would preclude me from doing it.

You can opt for the Sky Tram instead - much safer.

Just my 2 cents--not worth taking the chance. If something happened you would feel awful....

Thanks for posting the notes from Sky Trk, Not pregnant but was wondering about back conditions and ziplining. Must put pressure on your lower back.
