Perhaps you’re afraid of heights? Or your knee is not so youthful anymore? Or maybe you have trust issues when it comes to harnesses and carabiners? Buckle up (literally), dear reader, as we delve into the intriguing question: is ziplining too demanding for the average Joe?
IS ZIPLINE VERY DEMANDING?
NO
It’s not. Ziplining is the least demanding and safest of all our activities, suitable for everyone from 9-year-old children to seniors. It’s suitable for beginners, so you need no experience.What all share in common is leaving our agency happy and satisfied with their experience. If you’re moderately fit and free from major back or shoulder injuries, you should be fine.
We only recommend you reconsider booking zipline if you are afraid of heights. It’s high and it does get fast.
WILL THERE BE A GUIDE WITH US?
YES
The guides will accompany you from the beginning to the end of your trip. You’ll meet them at the sports center in Bovec when you check in for your activity. They’ll provide you with your equipment and explain everything you need to know, and they’ll be available to answer any questions or requests you might have.
AM I ALONE ON THE WIRE?
YES, EXCEPT ONE
You are on your own on 4 out of 5 wires. One of them is a tandem ride. If you come alone, you’ll be paired with another tourist or accompanied by a guide.
But, don’t worry. You’ll know exactly what to do because our guides will thoroughly explain everything to you before you enter the zipline park. They will also test your abilities on a ‘baby’ wire before letting you onto the main wires.
CAN I DECIDE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TOUR THAT I DON’T WANT TO DO IT ANYMORE?
NO
There’s some bad news for you: there is no exit on this activity. Once you finish the first wire, you’re committed until the last one. But look on the bright side – if you can handle that first ride, you’re practically a zipline ninja in the making!
WHEN IS THE BEST TIME FOR ZIPLINING?
EVERY DAY
As for weather, it’s typically more enjoyable on warm, sunny days. Although a cloudy sky adds a dramatic vibe to the experience. For those seeking to avoid large crowds, May, June, and September are ideal months. October’s weather can be unpredictable, with temperatures sometimes less pleasant, but it’s still doable.
AM I TOO OLD FOR ZIPLINE?
NO
We don’t have an upper age limit. If you feel good and you’re fit then you’re good to go. Who said only youngsters can have fun on their vacation?
Zipline is great outdoor activity for everyone. It is perfect for beginners and you will be in safe hands of our well trained guides. So, book your zipline tour with us and use the “Special requests and notes” section of the booking form in case you still have some questions or concerns.
