Has anyone tried the new Zipline Safari?

[dz63]

Let me start by saying that I've heard about the recent accident but I am not worried - I plan to do this in January. Just have a question for those who have tried this in St. Kitts, was the equipment uncomfortable? I noticed in the pics that there are straps going across the chest and as a female, thought this might be a bit... constricting, if not plain painful?

 

 

No one in our family found the harness uncomfortable.

My family and I just did his tour last week. It was the highlight of our vacation, we all agree. Harness is very comfortable, safety a top priority. We did chat with others who did a zipline excursion a day earlier when in St. Lucia, they said there was a hand braking system that was uncomfortable/cumbersome. The Sky Safari Zip Line tour we did in St. Kitts had a spring braking system that gave us an easy landing at the end of each line. Book early from home, this tour is usually sold out by sail date. Bottom line...zipline in St Kitts with Sky Safari Zip Line tour, book early through the cruise line, don't chicken out, it's worth it. Have fun!!

On posts #8-9, I posted my review with photos. Now I have completed a YouTube video of our ziplining adventure, so you can see more photos and video clips of this excursion.
