Wayyyyyyyyy overcrowded!!!! We waited close to 3 hours in the scorching sun for maybe a 15 second zip line…not worth it!!! With that being said, the views on top of the mountain were amazing and the bartenders made some excellent drinks. All-in-all, I would not waste my time on this excursion…not worth the price or your time!!!

Called and emailed two days prior to see if the anticipated high winds would affect the experience. No return call or email. Was not a weekend or holiday.
The day of waited 4 hours up top to go down Flying Dutchman. Very hot- no places where you could get shade. They only sent a few people down Flying Dutchman. When we asked the employees why they said they didn’t know what was going on. After four hours they announced the devices didn’t work and we all had to take the chair lift back down. People were freaking out because they were going to miss their cruise ship departure.
When I asked about a receipt or something to get my money back (approx $300 for 3 people) they said they don’t give receipts we should just trust them. We’ll see…
