Soar above Antigua's secret rainforest canopy on a series of zip-lines, then hike a jungle trail to a secluded freshwater waterfall pool — the island's most thrilling contrast to beach life, hidden from the typical tourist trail.
What to expect
A 4x4 transfer winds along the scenic Fig Tree Drive through banana and breadfruit groves before arriving at the purpose-built canopy base. A full safety briefing and harness fitting takes about 20 minutes, then your certified guide leads you across 12 platforms and zip-lines — the longest stretching 300 metres — above a ravine of breadfruit, wild tamarind, and giant ficus trees alive with hummingbirds and bananaquits. Post-zip, a guided 45-minute jungle trail descends to a secluded freshwater pool beneath a cascading waterfall — ideal for a refreshing swim before the drive back.
Good to know
Minimum age 8 / weight limit 270 lbs (122 kg); closed-toe shoes are mandatory (rental available). The full experience runs approximately 3.5 hours from port. Book online at least one week in advance — Saturday slots fill first. Bring a change of clothes; the waterfall swim is wonderfully irresistible.
