As you’re searching for things to do in St. Thomas this summer, ziplining offers a unique way to take in the island’s views with a bit of adventure. Soaring through the canopy from platform to platform, you’ll experience a mix of scenery and adrenaline. A little preparation goes a long way in making sure your experience is comfortable, safe, and fun from start to finish with these summer ziplining tips.

How to Prepare for a Summer Zipline Adventure

Start with the basics: hydration and sun protection. Bring a water bottle and a small backpack to carry it, as staying hydrated under the Caribbean sun is essential. You’ll be in the sun for the duration of the tour, so apply sunscreen before getting geared up and consider lightweight, quick-dry clothing or long sleeves for added protection. Sunglasses and a hat can also make a big difference, helping to keep you cool and reduce glare while you’re out on the course. If you need anything, our on-site gift shop and souvenir packages make it easy to pick up items you may want to bring on tour.

It’s also important to come fueled and ready. Since there’s no food available on-site, plan to eat before you arrive so you have the energy to fully enjoy the experience. There are convenient restaurants nearby like Sibs on the Mountain or The Shack at Hull Bay if you’re looking to grub before or after your tour. 

What to Wear for Ziplining in St. Thomas

When it comes to what to wear, stick with comfortable athletic clothing that allows you to move freely. Closed-toe shoes are required on the course, so be sure to choose something secure and suitable for activity.

Finally, make your reservation in advance! Summer is a busy season and tours book quickly, so securing your spot ahead of time ensures you get to experience the adventure of ziplining in St. Thomas. 

With just a bit of planning, you’ll be set up for an easy, enjoyable ziplining experience and able to enjoy the views, the adventure, and the fun.
