Although our Kauai zipline adventures are extremely safe, we know many people who’ve never ridden before often have those little nagging worries in the backs of their heads. It’s natural to be a little anxious when you’re embarking on a totally new experience, but you’ll have a lot more fun if you can put those nagging thoughts behind you. Here’s how you can enjoy the biggest thrill of your life.
First, do a little research on the facility you’re going to. While the majority of tree top and zipline tours are focused on safety, some are not so trustworthy. You can learn a lot by simply researching online about the place you’ll be going. For instance, sites like Yelp are where you can find honest, genuine reviews and read about others’ experiences. Also be sure to find out of the company is a member of the Association for Challenge Course Technology.
If it makes you feel better, ask questions! Give the facility a call and have your list of questions ready. Whether it’s about equipment maintenance or zipline safety, you’ll get a good grasp on just how much the people running the show know!
Your eyes are a great tool for checking things out. Upon arriving at the zipline facility does everything appear to be well-maintained and in good shape? Do you see helmets, harnesses and other safety equipment? Do the trees look strong and healthy, and is the zipline itself in good condition? You can learn a lot by simply taking a close look at the surroundings.
Last but certainly not least, it’s vital to pay close attention to instructors and guides whose job it is to ensure you know what to do every step of the way. These highly qualified instructors tell you exactly what to do and not to do so that you have a fun (but most importantly safe) time. Look for guides who provide you with in-depth instructions and guidance – it’s more than telling you how to start off!
By doing all of the things suggested above, you can rest assured you’ll have a great time without those nagging thoughts in the back of your mind. At Just Live our Kauai zipline adventure is well-known for its perfect safety record and how our equipment and facility are maintained to the highest standard. Come fly with us!
