TREETOP ADVENTURE PARK, DENNERY, ST. LUCIA

TREETOP ADVENTURE PARK, DENNERY, ST. LUCIA



LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY, AVERAGE from 1 to 5: 1


DESCRIPTION:

The Treetop Adventure Park is located apx. 3 miles off the highway running through Dennery. Castries to Dennery buses costs $4EC, but there is no public transportation that leads from the highway to the zip lining course. The road is frequented by residence and farmers, so hitching inland won’t be much difficulty.




Harnessed into a steel cable that stretches through the rainforest, your zip lining experience is as unique as you will find in St. Lucia. As of May 2008, there are 8 different zip lines, with 3 more under construction. Your equipment such as helmet, harness and gloves are all provided.

Wear close toed shoes that won’t fall off as you lip through the forest.
Short sleeved shirts and pants work fine.

The course takes anywhere from 35-45 minutes, depending on your group size.




The advertised price for the zip lines is $65US, but a Peace Corps and St. Lucian discount is offered at $50EC. Call ahead to let them know that you are coming so there is no confusion of the price you’ll be required to pay.

Call # (758) 453-4952 for reservations and to confirm your rate


PEACE CORPS PROCEDURE:
-ALWAYS hike with at least one partner, preferably two. The access road to the adventure park is well traveled, but better suited with at least one other person.


TESTIMONIALS:




NICHOLAS KLINGER, EC 76
The best $50EC you can spend in St. Lucia. A fantastic experience that gives you an incredible perspective of Dennery’s rainforests and St. Lucia’s habitat. With time to spare, make a trip apx. 200 yards up the main road to the Dennery Waterall. A beautiful place to take a dip and relax after your zip lining tour is complet
