What to expect from your experience
So what’s involved in the experience? Here we’ll talk you through each step of the process for ultimate peace-of-mind, and you’ll see just how accessible this adventure really is!
Check-in
The first step of any Zip World adventure; arrive half an hour before your adventure start-time to check-in at reception and settle in.
Kit-up
Once checked-in, you’ll be pointed in the direction of the kit-up area, where you’ll be given that all-important safety brief and be fitted into your harness and helmet.
Zip one
This area is easy to get to and is located in the main Adventure Terminal building. You, and a friend if you’ve come as a pair, will be clipped to the first 100m zip line side-by-side, and will zoom across to the other side.
Zip two
From here, you will clip onto the second of the zip lines, which is again 100m. Once you’ve flown with your hair in the wind across the quarry once more, you’ll land at ground-level.
De-kit
You’ll conveniently land right next to the kit-up area, so an instructor will remove your harness for you. Why not spend the rest of your time at Zip World Penrhyn Quarry checking out our other adventures or grabbing a bit to eat at the Blondin Restaurant?
