According to reviews, most participants find the buggy experience about an hour long, which is perfect for getting a good dose of speed and local scenery.
The zipline circuit, with six different lines, offers excitement and spectacular views. Several reviewers noted that the zipline is designed to be accessible — “fast enough to know you’re flying but slow enough to feel very comfortable,” as one guest said. If heights aren’t your thing, don’t worry; the shortest zipline is about three stories tall, and there’s an emphasis on safety and supervision.

Horseback riding is offered through scenic nature, a favorite for those wanting a more relaxed adventure.

Equipment and Safety
All necessary gear and training are provided — guides are bilingual and highly qualified, committed to keeping everyone safe and comfortable. Some activities, like the bungee or zipline, require participants to be at least 1.30 meters tall, and with a maximum weight limit of 130 kg, the park is inclusive but maintains safety standards.
The Downside? Be Prepared for Some Limitations
A few reviews mention the restriction on personal objects during activities, which means you’ll need lockers (available at an extra cost) if you want to carry your phone or camera. Also, photo packages are optional and can be pricey, but guests often take their own pictures before or after activities.
