What is the Tarzan Swing and is it mandatory?
The Tarzan Swing is an optional activity. You can decide during the tour when you get to the Tarzan swing if you would like to do it or not.
If you do not do the tarzan swing, you will wait for the other participants at bottom of the tower. You can watch those doing the tarzan swing. You cannot continue on the circuit on your own as you need to wait for the guides and the rest of the group to finish the tarzan swing.
Do I need to brake by myself on the zipline?
Yes, for some of the cables, manual hand braking is required. During the safety talk, the guides will show you how to manually brake by hand yourself. During the circuit, the guides will let you know which cables require manual hand braking. Manual hand braking does require some arm strength to pull down on the cable.

There is no further additional discount if you provide your own transportation. If you are late and do not meet the group on time, you will forfeit the tour and it is a 100% penalty fee.
