PRINCESS CRUISES RECOMMENDS THE BEST PLACES TO GO FLYING THROUGH THE SCENERY

From the waterfalls of Hawaii to the mountains of Alaska, you can soar through heart-racing and stunning scenery. Whether you’re a first-timer or a veteran, each of these experiences offers something unique.  So strap on your harness and helmet and get ready to take off.

MAHOGANY PARK, COSTA RICA
Known as one of the best places to zipline in Costa Rica, this private reserve is home to the country’s last remaining mahogany trees and ziplining gives you the exclusive opportunity to see them up close. Soar between 11 platforms and nine horizontal traverses. In addition to stunning scenery, you’ll probably be treated to wildlife sightings, including monkeys, sloths and native birds.

WAIHEKE ISLAND, NEW ZEALAND
Known as the “Island of Wine”, Waiheke Island features some of the best beaches and vineyards in the area.  Ziplining here lets you fly over grapevines, valleys and native forests, and zip higher and faster through each terrain. Choose to travel solo or side-by-side with a partner as you enjoy each 700-foot long line. Enjoy views of Auckland City and the Central Business District (CBD), and wrap up your adventure on a one-mile nature walk following your flight.
