trainer takes you for an unforgettable 30-minute swim with two playful,
friendly dolphins, where you enter the home of these magnificent gentle
mammals. Stroke their smooth skin, get kissed and even get a foot push or
a dorsal pull by the dolphins around the cove.

garden parish. You'll admire the spectacular views, beautiful plants
and trees on a photo stop. After about 30 minutes, you will reach your
destination and it is here amidst beautiful tropical surroundings your
adventure begins.

beginning the zip line portion of the tour, you will receive
instruction and safety briefing. Safely strapped into your harness,
the first zip wire whisks you 500 feet across a spectacular valley
from a platform just over 30 feet high. You may choose to use the
stairs to the top or be an adventurer and climb up the outside of the
pole!
The second zip wire will be a totally different experience as you
freefall for 15 feet before the line catches and whisks you over to
the other side, an experience not to be missed. Although there are
only 2 zip lines, you will have the opportunity to do them both
several times.

the thrill of the zip line, you'll move over to the ATV tracks for
some serious off road driving! There are 3 different tracks available
to accommodate every level of expertise: Beginners, Challenging and
Advanced. Our experienced instructors will help even first timers work
their way up to the advanced track. Children ages 6 and up can ride
the kid's ATVs, while grown up kids will ride 250cc Arctic Cats.
After all the action and adventure of the ATV's and zip wires, it's
time to relax and unwind with a fresh juice and delicious snack. Lie
in a hammock or sit in a swinging chair and let the cool tropical
breeze blow away all of life's stresses, or if you wish, take a nature
walk through the lush landscape. Your guide will cut down fresh fruit
and sugar cane for your enjoyment. Kids can play on a trampoline or go
for a donkey ride with one of our guides. Sandwiches will be served
and beer will be available for purchase after the activities...all in
all, the perfect trip for one incredible price.
