Select participants and date
You climb into a harness, the Atlantic breathing warm and salty below. Guides check buckles, pass helmets, and point: a sweep of reef-blue ocean frames Magens Bay, St. John sits like a green knot on the horizon, and beyond it the British Virgin Islands float in heat shimmer. A truck bumps up the narrow ridge road to St. Peter Mountain; the forest hush breaks into a chorus of leaves as you step onto the first platform. Then you go — the world narrows to a single cable and wind, and the island dares you forward.

Adventure Tips
Arrive Early for Check-in
Arrive at least 30 minutes before your scheduled tour to complete weight checks and orientation; parking is available on site.
Wear Closed-Toe Shoes
Closed-toe, grippy shoes are required—avoid sandals and loose laces that can snag on harnesses or steps.
Know the Weight & Height Rules
You must weigh between 70–275 lbs and be at least 44 inches tall; tandem zips allowed with combined weight limits—be honest during check-in.
Hydrate and Protect from Sun
Bring a small water bottle and reef-safe sunscreen; platforms are exposed and midday sun is strong.
