It only takes a minute to plunge from the top of a mountain and glide to the next hill, or islet, over leafy swale, hundreds of feet below. And the thrill of the experience is quite unforgettable. That’s why ziplining has become so popular in recent years. More activity parks are built each year all over the world, offering new packages to thrill seekers, but these few elite spots remain at the top of our list.

Icy Strait Point – Alaska

Why travel to Alaska? There are many reasons, first of all, not only the beautiful scenery, but also a lot of places for extreme winter sports. Visit the Strait Point ZipRider and try flying over Icy Strait Point. You can try it out with family or friends, six at a time, each tethered to a flank, to be precise. This is an amazing group experience with views of the beautiful glaciers and white caps.

Labadee – Haiti
Soar from 500 feet in the air across the sea at a speed of 50 mph. This is the world’s longest overwater zip line, and it will make you scream all the way to the cove on the opposite side of the mountain, known as Dragon’s Breath Rock. It’s likely that you’ll be out of breath when you touch down, but it’ll definitely be an unforgettable experience.

Jaguar Cave – Belize
The Jaguar Cave zip line site in Belize makes you feel like you’re gliding straight into a monster’s trap. As you get closer to it, the cavern formations start to look like deformed teeth, increasing your fears and excitement at the same time.
