Gorge Zip Challenge - Rainforest Adventures Dominica

The new Gorge Zip Challenge at Rain Forest Adventures Dominica thrills with the highest zip line in the southern Caribbean. The six-platform zip line course offers three adrenaline-pumping lines that glide through the rainforest canopy.

From the park’s top station, visitors receive a safety briefing and orientation, and then take a short walk to the first platform and a 125 ft zip line. The second zip line (250 ft) takes riders higher yet and is followed by a 40 ft rappel to the ground. The highlight of the experience is the Gorge Zip Challenge: an 810 ft cable suspended over Breakfast River Gorge, a 350-foot cavernous drop flourishing with plants and waterfalls. Do you DARE cross it?

The Aerial Tram at Rain Forest Adventures Dominica is an all-access pass to the “Nature Island”. At the main station, up to eight passengers board rainforest “gondolas”, which are handicap-accessible to riders who can sit up on their own to ride (wheelchairs can be carried up). During the 90-minute trip, expert naturalist guides introduce riders to the flora, fauna and other wildlife found in Dominica, which remained hidden from human eyes until the development of the Rain Forest Aerial Tram. The Morne Trois Piton National Park in Dominica boasts over 172 species of birds, including two endangered species of parrots. Spectacular views of majestic mountains and lush landscapes are all part of this once-in-a-lifetime adventure.
