What a rush......OMG we had so much fun. We went zip lining last week when we were in the DR. My two 14 year olds and I went and had an absolute blast. I had never done anything like that before and did not regret doing it at all. Sure, I was terrified before going off the first platform but quickly got over that. The staff were all amazing and made everyone feel very safe and prepared for the adventure. Our instructor Franklin was very good and made sure everyone was comfortable before taking their turn. These young men who work at the zip line have the BEST JOB in the DR. Since getting home I have been telling everyone about my zip lining experience. If you go to POP you should have this adventure. We were very lucky in an odd way. We were picked up by the manager Cesar P because the bus was going to be late because of a flat tire. What a great guy. Very informative and a good businessman. I learned alot from him as we talked non-stop to and from the site. The zip line is on the "tourist road" to Santiago and the drive out there was absolutely breathtaking. You get an amazing view back over POP and the Atlantic Ocean. This 1/2 day adventure is one not to be missed when visiting the area. Next time I go back I am going back....taking my husband next time.

I will not be able to write anything new about this attraction. I am going to try: SPECTACULAR VIEW, SUPER SAFE, JUST GREAT. excellent job. Must do it if are in POP area

When picked up from hotel in jeep asked to wear Lapbelts. I knew from outset they were safety orientated. On arrival at the office asked to fill out a simple form with any medical issues etc and were then issued with helmet which was adjusted to fit.We then were given our two part harnesses, and all the pulley system and finally a pair of gloves one fitted with a leather palm to use to brake. We then were ready for the ride in the trucks to the starting point but not before the equipment was checked by two other instructors. On arrival at the first platform we were then given clear instruction on how to ride the zip and how to brake. We all put on the gloves the right hand one with a leather grip used to brake. The first victim(person) selected to go was then clipped into the systen and safety rope attached they then were given a test run to learn how to brake. this was repeated as many times as needed until the instructor was happy that they were able to brake correctly. Then it was down the line to the first platform. Process repeated for each person. on arrival at second platform clipped onto safety rope to prevent falling. We all waited for each one to go down the line. We swapped cameras with each other to take photos and video and then came the final line back to the office. Some people had a few problems with the higher zips but no problem they were taken in tandem by the instructors so still enjoyed the experience.

Our group age from early twenties - seventies I am 50.

Finished day by purchasing drinks and also option to buy video which was taken throughout the day.

Great day for all age groups and abillity. Safety standards at UK level.

Any question on equipment etc please ask and I will try to answer.
