Ride a Zipline

If you're one for thrills but don't quite have the will to jump out of a plane or off a bridge, ziplining can give you your adrenaline buzz without such a precarious proposition.

It has been called the nearest thing to flying!

Zip lines are fast and exciting ways to get your next adrenaline fix. With many around the world, you are able to travel at high speeds from mountains, through forests, and looking over lakes.

Walking down mountains can be fun for sure, but can they get you as pumped up as "flying" down a zip-line at up to 100mph??

In the past they were used in early history by people living in the Alps and Himalayas as a means for transport through treacherous terrain and an efficient way to transport supplies.

Some of the most electrifying zip lines on the planet not only offer a large kick of adrenaline but also stunning views that you will remember for a life time.
