Select participants and date
You step off the shuttle into the bright orange arrival house and the island’s heat greets you—not politely, but with a salty slap. Guides call names, hand out wristbands, and shepherd the small caravan into a rattle of 4x4s that climb Crooked Mountain. From the top, the sea stretches hard and blue; waves skim coral gardens while six zip lines slice a course from cliff to cliff, the longest running 1,600 feet over open water.

Adventure Tips
Arrive early for best light
Morning launches offer calmer winds and brighter photos; aim to be checked in at least 30 minutes before departure.
Wear closed-toe shoes
ATVs and jungle tracks require sturdy footwear—sandals and flip-flops are not allowed on the vehicles.
Hydrate and protect from sun
Bring a refillable water bottle and reef-safe sunscreen; the Caribbean sun and exertion add up fast.
Secure loose items
Use a zippered pocket or leave valuables on the bus—phones and hats can be lost on high-speed zip lines and bumpy ATVs.
