Ziplines @ Calica?

[DRD51]

We will be in Calica/Playa in October off the Holiday. How many ziplines are there in this area? Has anyone done a tour on their own? Is there a zipline that is close to the the Calica port? I am not seeing this type excursion offered for this port. Any help/info would be greatly appreciated!

Check out an Edventure Tour. Their typical tours usually involve snorkeling, but they do offer zip lines and they will customize a tour to do what you want to do. We were very pleased with the Edventure people - you will find I tend to be a cheerleader for them. We didn't do the ziplines, though. There were too many other things we wanted to do.

Sorry...way late in posting this, but it may be helpful to others...Hidden Worlds Cenote Park has ziplines there...It's right across the street from Xel-ha so you'd need transportation to/from (about half-hour south of PDC). There is also another place called Selvatica that is supposed to be awesome...again it is some distance away - up by Puerto Morelos (half hour north of PDC)...not sure exactly where but you'd definitely need some sort of transportation.

Has anyone here done this, and if so how was it? It sounds great!

On this excursion you will:
