ADRENALINE JUNKIES

Before you leap off a cliff-top platform onto a 1,000+-foot long cable, or don a buoyancy control device (BCD) and regulator to submerge for a night dive with manta rays, make sure you’re well-prepared and in good hands. Physical ability is important to keep in mind when choosing the level of excitement that’s right for you, but even those with limited mobility can safely enjoy a number of activities that offer an incredible adrenaline rush-- and fun!

Be sure to ask the reservationist about any physical conditions or limitations you may have, and comply with height and weight restrictions. A reputable activity operator will provide mandatory first aid and CPR training for their guides, and require thorough safety briefings for guests. Don’t hesitate to ask about concerns you may have, but remember that conquering your fear and rising above a new challenge is what really gets your heart gets pumping!
