Creator's Key Takeaways

this is my very first time doing this now of course we're to zip line back down of course to me there's there's no better way to get down the mountain than on a zip line

it was absolutely amazing it was everything that was advertised from the top of the mountain where we got those most incredible views

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Purchase tickets through the cruise ship or at the base of the departure den
โœ“Take the gondola up to enjoy the views even if you decide not to zip line down
