Go Zip Lining

#2

I went zip lining at Loterie Farm, a private nature reserve on the island of St. Martin. In the future, I hope to find more places to go zip lining, since I crossed this experience off the list a few weeks after my sixteenth birthday — over half a decade ago — yikes!

As their website says, Loterie Farm is “a secret hideaway nestled in the hillside of Pic Paradis on French Saint Martin where you can wine, dine, climb, hike and glide over the treetop canopy.” I always joke that I am terrible with anything involving motor skill (tap dance class when I was young, woodshop class in middle school, where the teacher had to help me with every assignment, etc), so the hardest part was probably making sure I clipped the hooks on correctly to the line as we approached each one. Luckily, an instructor was there to help guide us along.

Regardless, I love anything involving climbing and knew that anything described as a “treetop adventure” would be the activity for me. Scaling trees, entering tree houses, walking across tightropes, and gliding through the forest was ideal. I would definitely recommend Loterie Farm!

Who else has gone zip lining or has it added to their bucket lists? Where did you go and what was it like?
