The ziplines

-

We reach zip line number one – a 50m-long wire about 80m-high, at the top of a vertical stretch. Heart thumping we leap off the edge zooming straight for the splat pad on the other side. Exhilarate­d, we’re practicall­y begging to journey on. A gradual slope then leads to the 60m zip-line before another path leads you to a ladder, which you need to climb up to get to the almighty 300m-long beast. It takes a few seconds to pluck up the courage for this one as you can barely see where it ends. Once you make the leap of faith you’ll experience an unbelievab­le rush as you fly through the air. So there it is. Ras Al Khaimah’s first proper outdoor adventure tour offering enthusiast­s a chance to access the same high as rock climbers, without the same rigorous training or nerve-shredding risk. It’s a brilliant adventure that combines the accessible with the extreme, and one we’ll be returning to,

that’s for sure.
