A zipline is also known as a zip-wire or flying-fox.
Ziplining is a recreational activity that involves riding a steel wire on a protective seat or belt between two points and generally on a valley that exhibits spectacular scenery.
Hence, the no. 1 choice for a zipline in Hobart would be from the Springs overlooking Hobart.
A Zipline is non-mechanical. The two forces at play are gravity and friction. There are 2 points, a take-off and a landing platform.
The construction of a zipline is a relatively small footprint and does not necessitate the removal of trees generally, as the wire is mostly above the tree line.
Today, Ziplines are mainly used for recreation such as eco-touring.
There are many around the world and they are fast becoming popular vacation activities.
A zipline activity caters for all ages from 6 upwards, anyone still young at heart.
In fact, 25% of the ticket sales of the New Zealand zipline are bought from the mid-age to senior age demographic. A zipline is an additional recreation activity, besides walking or mountain bike riding, that can be enjoyed by all.
What better way to experience the outdoors than to be flying above the tree tops with your friends. It is suited to everyone from thrill seekers to anyone looking for a safe and exhilarating way to get out of their comfort zone.
It can develop leadership skills, strengthen work relationships for corporate team-building, or just be an exciting outdoor group outing for family and friends.
