Over the course of the five-line adventure course, visitors will reach heights of 200 feet as they soar down the mountain. Depending on the size of your group, the outing will take approximately two hours.

The system incorporates an automatic breaking system, meaning you won’t need to wear heavy gloves to control your speeds.

If you’re a bit intimidated by the height and length of this particular course, not to worry. Hungry Mother Adventures also offers a mini zip, which lasts approximately one hour and operates at a lower altitude.

The mini zip is also a great alternative for children who might not meet the weight requirement for the main zip line. For the mini zip, there is no weight requirement, although children must be at least six years old to participate.
