Flighthouse Zipline at Harvest Caye
The Harvest Caye Port is fairly new as it’s only been open less than two years. It features a lot of different activities for travelers to participate in, including the Flighthouse Zipline. At 136 feet in the air and 1,300 feet long, it’s not surprising that this zip line has become a favorite activity among cruise ship passengers.
The Great Wall of China
Many travelers don’t realize that they can actually see the Great Wall of China via zip line. It’s only a short ride from Tianjin Beijing. After making the strenuous climb up to a designated spot and enjoying the view, participants can zip down a few hundred feet and get an interesting view of both the Wall and the surrounding landscape.
Costa Rica’s Arenal Volcano
The Arenal Volcano is fun to look at and zip line down. You will first make your way to the foothills of the volcano, learn a little bit about the local biodiverse ecosystem then go on a thrilling zip line ride. For those that want a different experience, they can make their way over to Monteverde, as it also offers zip lines through a cloud forest.
Icy Strait Point in Alaska
This zip line is fairly unique. It allows six riders at a time to zip down a line that is 18 football fields in length. On this ride, they can see the contrast of the trees, the mountains, and their cruise ship in the distance.
