Amazing views
All the staff at the attraction were helpful and extremely friendly.
Nobody rushed you at the top. You could take all the time you wanted to take pictures or just sit with a drink and enjoy the views.

Great views, complicated system to sign the waiver. It isnt dangerous on the cable car just it seems everything in the Caribbean needs a waiver!
We got a taxi to it - very easy 10 minute drive

The best thing was the weather, I shudder to think what it'd be like in the rain. Great views. Even though prepaid, the check in took 10+ minutes per couple. There was a long line.
Zip line is do-able, as the braking is done by them. You just have to hold on and scream.
