Ziplining in St. Thomas: 6 lines and the Yo-Yo

Six ziplines and a pendulum swing that swings you back

Tree Limin' Extreme Zipline is a 2.5-hour zipline course in St. Thomas where you glide across 8 aerial platforms on 6 ziplines and 2 sky bridges, reaching speeds up to 35 mph. The final ride, called the Yo-Yo, is a pendulum unique to the Caribbean. A guide equips you with helmet and harness, drives you to the top of St. Peter Mountain, and shares facts about island culture and wildlife as you move through the rainforest canopy.

The experience

What makes this different from a standard zipline course? The Yo-Yo (a pendulum swing that launches you out and swings you back) exists nowhere else in the Caribbean. You'll hit speeds up to 35 mph across the 6 main lines and 2 sky bridges, suspended between 8 platforms as you move through the rainforest. The course is certified by the Association of Challenge Course Technology (ACCT), so the safety systems are third-party verified.

The day starts with gear fitting: helmet, harness, and a safety orientation before a truck ride up St. Peter Mountain. Your guides handle the technical setup and lead you through each platform, sharing knowledge of the Virgin Islands' flora, fauna, and local lore as you progress. The course runs rain or shine: weather doesn't delay or stop the activity. By the end, you're free to explore the rest of the island or head to one of its beaches.

Age and size matter here. You must be at least 5 years old and weigh between 70 and 275 pounds. Children under 70 pounds can tandem zip with an adult as long as the combined weight stays under 275 pounds. Height range is 44 inches to 6 feet 6 inches. Wear closed-toe shoes with heel support, and be in good general health. The activity is not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries, cardiovascular concerns, or pregnancy. The guides will weigh you at check-in to confirm equipment fit.

Is this one for you?You operate the ziplines yourself: the guide sets up your gear and leads you through each platform, but you're the one moving across the lines and controlling your descent. This suits anyone who wants hands-on action over a passive ride, and it works for families with children as young as 5 (tandem zipping is an option for smaller kids). If you prefer to watch rather than do, or if you have mobility or health constraints that make sustained physical activity difficult, a boat tour or scenic drive would be a better fit.

What does the Yo-Yo zipline actually feel like?

The Yo-Yo is a pendulum swing unique to the Caribbean. You launch out on it and swing back, which is why it's called the Yo-Yo. The sensation is exactly what the name suggests. It's your final ride on the course.

How fast do you go on these ziplines?

You reach speeds up to 35 miles per hour (56 km/h) across the 6 main ziplines. The sky bridges between platforms are slower, letting you catch your breath and take in the views of Magens Bay and the British Virgin Islands.

How long does the whole experience take?

The activity takes 2.5 hours from start to finish, including gear fitting, the truck ride to St. Peter Mountain, the safety orientation, and all 6 ziplines and 2 sky bridges. After you finish, you're free to explore the island or relax on a beach.

What views will I see while ziplining?

From the platforms and ziplines, you see Magens Bay and the British Virgin Islands in the distance. You're moving through the St. Thomas rainforest canopy, so the guides also point out local flora and fauna as you go.
