Zipline is great. Walk is beautiful. Trip is not as advertised as there is no guided walk up to the lighthouse.

Fun experience! Very professional company. They did a very nice job, and we had a great time. Nice hike up to the lighthouse.

Tough hike up, view was amazing. The wait to zip zip line was long. They had to bring harnesses up and we had to wait.

The worker pushed me off with a twist. I was not happy! I needed a video for my work and wasn’t able to get it because I rode half way completely backwards and wasn’t able to see nor enjoy my experience. For the price for 3 people I paid & the fact I was the only one videoing. I am not happy. I let the staff know at the shop. Our pics came out weird too because most of us are backwards. I had to use most of my ride trying to turn around to see. For the long walk. The employee thought it was funny. He’s a jerk. I would only recommend it by letting my friend know to be specific that they don’t spin you as they push you off or it’s not worth it! I was really upset. I wished I could do it over again. I missed 75% of my ride being completely backwards!!

We did the Lighthouse Zipline Adventure at Farolesa by Shekinah Beach Club and it was a great experience overall. We took an Uber from the cruise port, and the ride was short and easy.
The staff was pleasant and welcoming from the start. They gave clear instructions, provided a free backpack and bandana, and walked us to the path leading up to the lighthouse. Along the way, they reminded everyone to take it slow and to stop for breaks as needed, which was appreciated.
Be aware that the hike is no joke. Once you get about three-quarters of the way up, there are over 300 steep steps to reach the top. This is definitely not an easy climb and requires a good level of fitness.
The zipline staff at the top was amazing—professional, encouraging, and efficient. The zipline itself was incredible, though it only lasted about two minutes, so the hike is truly the main part of the adventure.
I highly recommend this experience for adventure lovers who are comfortable with steep climbs and physical challenges.

The zip line was fun, the “hike” that the description talks about is fairly intense as you have to climb up a hill that goes up about 600 meters, then you use to climb an additional 336 steps. Would have been nice to know that before booking and heading to the meeting point. Also, the description mentions a tour guide who will take you on your hike, no such tour guide is provided. The zip line was actually very cool, very long and over the water the entire way. If you are ok climbing a very high hill in order to get there, this is a fun activity.

The ziplineis long and fast and full of fun!
It was completely worth not walking down the mountain. The uphill was a challenge in the heat. This was not a “guided” hike, just follow the path. I must have misunderstood and no other attractions were included. NOT the skywalk, observatory, or museum. They do offer a taxi back to the office though.

My teenage boys did this and loved it. It was very safe and they were through with instructions and procedures. Doesn’t take long so still plenty of time to walk around. Cab was $5 pp but a 25 minute walk if you don’t mind some hills.

The zip line itself was a great experience. Five stars.
BUT... Be prepared as you have to walk up the hill which is rather steep. And take 30 minutes or so and on a hot day it Can be difficult for even the most fittest. We saw some elderly folks really struggling.

We enjoyed our ride on the Zipline after the climb up El Faro. This is NOT a guided hike up as stated. You're on your own. The Zipline itself is a little too slack. Most of us didn't make it across and had to be rescued. That only takes 2 minutes. Not to worry.

What a VIEW !! This activity is a perfect example of believing what you actually see!! we had watched videos prior and it took one woman to say it was a hike that took over an hour for my husband not to want to do the activity with me. That’s just a personal opinion or that’s how long they took !! I myself with even being 50lbs overweight it only took me less than 30min … was it hard at times? Yes mainly cuz it was sooo hot 🥵 LOL it was an amazing accomplishment and the views were unbelievable ❤️ I enjoyed every bit of this experience!! And why people would hike this hike just to walk back down is unreal to me. LOL Go do the zip line longest zip line I’ve ever done and it was amazing.❤️❤️ and also there is a glass bridge to walk out and oversee the ocean, which was pretty cool. Also, they did not inform me below that it cost money to do this and my husband had all the cash so luckily there was someone in line that spoke English and gave me the 30 pesos to be able to experience this❤️ Thank you good stranger❤️Overall such a great experience❤️

Just be aware that you have to walk 1500 km and then go up 337 steps to the light house. So make sure you are not hungover or just had Montezuma's revenge. The staff was awesome and extremely tentative. They were very patient with us. The climbing of the stairs was well worth it. It was such an amazing experience! Highly highly recommend it!

Fun experience and the people were so nice. Even my 10 year old was able to go and had a blast. Definitely recommend.

It was so fun and my kids pushed through the hike knowing there where cats along the way. We especially loved the Observatory at the end of the zip line. The staff was great and we loved Roberto! He's the best!

SOOOOO DOPE! Definitely an adrenaline rush over beautiful scenery couldn't ask for more. The hike up the hill is worth it. Staff is great.... friendly and professional!!
Highly recommend this zip line. Only thing is they stop accepting ppl at 1p.m not 4p.m as stated on line.
