Best views - Wonderful experience! Plan for 2-3 hours at the site. Views were amazing throughout the adventure. Staff was friendly and accomodating to family members with needs. Ask for Ricky and he will get you the best tube for your desired speed.

On top of the world - There is something for every age group. There are great photo opportunities at the top. You literally feel like you’re on top of the world.

Do it - There is a small museum which is nice if you want to learn a little bit of history. The slide is cool but would be better if it had water. The canopy tour was great. We upgraded and did the flying dutchman (there’s a bar at the top if you need some liquid courage). The views are amazing. The staff were all friendly and explained things well. You feel safe and secure every step of the way.

BEST ZIPLINE experience! - I am personally not that keen on zipline especially with heights. My family (wife and two daughters) really enjoyed doing this 1000 ft+ high with almost 3000 ft long zip line. Also enjoyed the dry tubing and smaller zipline as a full package. They also have lunch buffet on site with a full bar. Guides/Safety was amazing, recommend as an adventure experience. I believe you have to be atleast 100 lbs for dutchman zipline.

Fun activity for the morning. - This was a fun morning. Expect this to take about 3 hours. The chair lift is SUPER slow, but the rides are fun.

Amazing views and ziplines! - We did the Schooner first, riding an inner tube down a track. It was fun , but not worth the visit on it's own.
Next we took the chairlift to the top of the mountain. The views were amazing, we had a clear day and took dozens of pictures. You can see almost every beach on the island from there.
Last we did the Sentry Hill Ziplines. You ride several ziplines, each one was a blast.
The service there was pretty friendly and our time there was a little over 2 hours.
Highly recommend visiting, worth it for the views alone.

Lots of fun. - Went here with another couple. Everything is just as advertised. You can get discounts for booking online and they give senior discounts cutting something like $20.00 off the high price. They have a large staff and as a retired firefighter and EMT I was glade they take safety seriously, HOWEVER when we did the tube rides I was accidentally given a medium/small tube even though I am 6'1" and weigh 250 lbs. At the first turn it almost flipped over sending sending me to the hospital or graveyard. After hearing my complaint they took it seriously and I could tell someone was going to be reprimanded for this. The zip-line was fun and went off without a hitch. The safety equipment is state of the business and they have plenty of staff to care for everyone. All and all a good experience but overpriced.

WHAT A DUMP!!!! - This was such an incredible let down. When we arrived, we were told that the main attraction, the Flying Dutchman, was out of service. This was the primary reason we booked the excursion, but we were never notified about this.
The Schooner ride was frighteningly sketchy. I am really surprised they have not had major injuries on this thing. It looked like it was put together with no safety in mind whatsoever.
When our taxi diver dropped us off, the lady working there told him to come back in an hour and a half. It was about half the time that was needed. So we barely had time to ride to the top and back.
Viatour needs to drop this piece of crap. Or risk being sued when someone dies on the Schooner death trap.
