Chukka Zipling & River tour

[KruzAholic]

Has anyone done this tour? Do you know how many lines there are? We know the river tubing will be fantastic, just wonder how many lines and how long you are out there zipping along? Thanks

I had previously posted this on another Jamaican thread, and just copied and pasted for your reference.

By the way I too live in the great state of O-H-I-O.

This past July on Allure booked thru RCI Zipline/tubing.

 

Had a great time, but, some issues did arise.

 

Met the tour buses promptly at 11 am.

Driven a quick 20 min. to a meeting point in the hills.

Very clean modern restroom facilities as well as changing rooms and pool with a bar.

$8 for a locker.

 

We zipped first.

Walked about 4 min to orientation area and got our gear, it was fitted and adjusted as needed and helmets and gloves.

Did first practice run.......was great.

All the lines were done well and safety was never an issue.

I think we did 7-8 in all.

Did not permit cameras, (did not enforce)

Upon arrival back to check-in area.

 

Lunch included

One girl serving over 40 people.

Free Jerk chicken meal, cooked in front of you, and punch, a muffin, actually quite tasty...took a while to be served.

After lunch we were told we would be tubing in 30min.

So:

We went to restroom and changed.

30 min came and went

one hour

One and half hours, now everyone is getting restless

 

Finally after two hours the first tour from the excursion came back from the tubing, and were going to eat, and we were replacing them. (We did not know there were over 80 people booked so they split us in half). Then they would zip while we tubed.

 

The tubing was done well, safe, tethered together.

 

But, the problem occured when we got back to the check in area after 5pm. and they wanted us to see our pictures so we could buy them....we quickly walked away and waited to the first bus to fill and got back to Falmouth a little before 6. We had very little time to shop, and were very rushed.

 

This double tour was so disorganized with time management, we said we will never do another tour like this again.

 

Next July we booked the zip line by itself, and it is the one we did on the Freedom of the Seas, and cannot wait.
