The harness clicks. Wind from the Sea of Cortez pushes against your helmet as you step off a platform and the world tilts for a second before gravity takes the lead. For a heart-stopping moment you free-fall, then the swing pulls you into a pendulum arc that throws the shoreline, arid canyon walls and a ribbon of the Transpeninsular highway into a dizzying panorama. Below, the glass-bottom gondola that anchors the ride gleams like a small spaceship; above, the sky is Baja-blue and brutally clear.

Mind the weight limits
Maximum combined weight for two participants is 396 lbs (180 kg); minimum weight is about 100 lbs (45 kg)—the operator enforces this for safety.
No cameras during the ride
Personal cameras and phones are not allowed while swinging; use on-site lockers or a secured pouch provided by staff.
Bring a refillable water bottle
Hydration stations are available to refill bottles for free—Baja’s dry climate increases dehydration risk during queueing and transfers.
Wear closed-toe shoes and layers
Closed shoes are required for the harnessed platform; mornings can be cool and midday intensely warm, so bring a light layer.
Closed-toe athletic shoes
Required for secure footing on platforms and during ranch-style walkways at the park.
Refillable water bottle
