What to wear ziplining on St. Thomas

One rule is non-negotiable and the rest is common sense for a hot, humid morning in a harness. Here is how to dress for Tree Limin' Extreme.

Booking choice: The Tree Limin' Extreme zipline, from $155 per person on Viator. Check dates Compare the options below

You spend two hours or more in a harness, walking between platforms and over sky bridges in the Caribbean heat. What you wear decides how comfortable you are, and the wrong shoes can stop you riding at all.

The quick answer

Closed-toe athletic shoes are required: no sandals, flip-flops or water shoes with open toes. Wear shorts or leggings and a fitted top, and bring sunglasses, sunscreen and water. Small hands-free bags are allowed on the course; lockers can be rented for everything else.

What shoes do you need?

Closed-toe athletic shoes: the operator requires them, so sandals and flip-flops are not allowed.

Trainers or light hiking shoes with a good grip are ideal for the stairs, platforms and bridges. If you are coming straight from the beach or the ship, pack your sneakers.

What clothes work best in a harness?

Shorts, capris or leggings and a fitted T-shirt or tank top.

The harness goes around your legs and waist, so skip dresses and skirts. Choose light, breathable fabric: St. Thomas is hot and humid, and you will be moving for two hours.

Can you take your phone?

Yes, in a small hands-free bag or secured pocket; loose items are a no.

The operator allows small hands-free bags on the course and encourages guests to bring cameras or phones. A phone lanyard works too. Anything that could fall from a line should stay in a locker.

What should you bring?

Pack light: sunglasses, sunscreen, water, and cash or a card.

Are there lockers?

Yes, lockers are available to rent at the course for anything you do not carry.

Leave bags, beach gear and spare clothes in a locker or in your car; only a small hands-free bag goes on the course with you.

What about hats and long hair?

Everyone wears the provided helmet, so leave hats behind and tie long hair back.

Hair ties and a strap for sunglasses are the small things that make the lines more comfortable.

What if it rains?

The course runs rain or shine, so dress for a shower and carry on.

Showers on St. Thomas usually pass quickly. Quick-dry clothes help, and wet shoes are why grip matters. Tours stop only for unsafe conditions such as lightning. Remember a Viator booking is not refunded for rain.
