Do I need experience to go on zipline?

When you come to our office for the check-in before the actvity, one of the first things we ask is – do you have any experience? And the usual answer is – Well, of course not. Where would I get it? They don’t teach zipline at school and it’s not part of our job training. Imagine transforming your office into an amusement park. Sure, your boss might not have the proper suits for that, but hey, a zipline could be the ultimate coffee break.

But do you need experience to go on a zipline tour? Nah, all you really need is a sense of adventure and a willingness to scream like a hollywood diva. Let’s face it, no one has a PhD in zooming through the trees at breakneck speeds. So, whether you’re an office warrior or a couch potato, ziplining is your chance to channel your inner superhero. No spreadsheets, no meetings, just pure adrenaline. Get ready to soar, laugh, and possibly regret not wearing an extra layer of deodorant!

CAN I GO IF I’VE NEVER DONE ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE?

YES
Of course! You can join all our sports activities even if you’re a complete beginner. We understand that zipline is not one of those recreational sports that you practice every Sunday afternoon with neighbor John in the nearby forest. You can go ziplining if you’re reasonably fit and capable of doing a short hike on hilly ground. You don’t have to be super sporty.

More problematic than experience are medical conditions. Allergies to bees, asthma, or an old injury can trigger a rescue situation and can ruin an otherwise enjoyable trip. Please check a list of medical conditions that might prevent you from joining us on zipline or other sports activities.

Here’s also a list of all the activities we offer and you can see which are suitable for begginers.

HOW FIT SHOULD I BE?

FIT ENOUGH TO FIT INTO A HARNESS
When you look at the photos on our website don’t focus too much on our guides. They all look like the bunch of chiselled Egyptian Pharaohs who just preformed an opening ceremony of pyramid or something.

You don’t need to be zipline guide fit. Zipline and all the other sports activities we offer are open to everyone with a base level of fitness and mobility. Please note that the weight limit is

• under 25 kg ➡️ sorry we don’t have harness this small
• 25kg – 40kg ➡️ you will go in tandem with our guide
• 110kg – 130kg ➡️ we will ask you to do the harness test, you will try it at our gear room and if it fits, you can go
• over 130kg ➡️ sorry we don’t have harness this big

IS IT SAFE?

YES
Hanging on a metal wire high in the air probably does sound a bit scary but it is a very safe activity. Zipline park is well maintained and is checked every year for safety. Before you start guides will show you how to stop yourself together with some other useful things. Then they will test you on a small wire. If you don’t pass that test it is not safe to let you do the activity.

HOW FAST DOES IT GO?

VERY FAST
The speeds can be up to 60 km/h on the longest wire. The speed itself actually depends on your weight. The heavier you are the faster you go. So if you are not a big fan of high speeds and you were thinking about losing some weight, now you have a good reason to start your diet.

CAN I GO IF I’M AFRAID OF HEIGHTS?

MAYBE
If you have problems with hights, now is a good time to ask yourself how bad is it? If you just feel a bit anxciuos about it, zipline might be a good way to get over your fear. But if just the idea of a combination of hights and speed turns a loud alarm in your head, you might consider some other activity. In that case rafting or kayaking might be better options for you.

All in all, zipline is a perfect outdoor activity for the average fit adventure seekers. So, book your zipline tour with us and use the “Notes” section of the booking form in case you still have some questions or concerns. We’ll be happy to answer.
