Minimum age is 6; drivers need a valid license with at least one year of experience, and zipline participants must weigh between 20 and 127 kilograms.Is it for me?Book this if you want to operate the equipment yourself rather than watch from the sidelines—you're driving the buggy, you're working the ziplines, and you're handling the monkeys.
