South Padre Island Adventure Park

South Padre

South Padre Island Adventure Park’s ziplining course was inspired by a trip to the Caribbean. The owners thought there was too much hiking and not enough zipping through the air on other zipline courses. So this South Padre ziplining adventure is designed to maximize the time guests are up in the air. Guests are able to go back and forth on the lines as many times as they want in their half-hour or hour-long session.

We decided to provide you with maximum zip-lining time possible so we designed large tower structures that accommodate six zip-lines for a fast round-trip zip-lining experience without leaving the towers. With our unique quick zip-line transition system you will be able to go around the zip-line circuit as fast, or, slow as you want to during your session.  We want you to have the maximum zip-lining fun experience you can within an hour. Believe me, an hour of speed zipping here is an experience not obtainable anywhere else,” their website proclaims.
