This is currently the longest Zipslide Tour
totalling 1,4km. During the course of 2011 the second phase will commence and another 2,5 – 3km will be added to the existing tour. Zip Lines are also known as a Canopy Tours (Costa Rica), Flying Fox (New Zealand and Australia), Zip Wire, aerial runway, aerial rope slide, death slide or Tyrolean crossing.
In South Africa it is called "Foofi" or "Foefie" slide. This activity had its origin in Costa Rica, and was originally designed to give scientist access to upper regions of forests to do Canopy research. Our tours depart every 30 min and groups sizes can be up to 12 people. (Larger groups can be accommodated as per prior arrangement.) We operate in most weather conditions (even
when raining) and tours will only be seized if there is lightning or if it is deemed that it would be unsafe and endanger the safety of our clients.
