Zip-lining in Antigua and Barbuda

If you're feeling adventurous, you can play Tarzan and Jane at Antigua Rainforest Canopy Tours (Fig Dr., Wallings. 268/562-6363. www.antiguarainforest.com), which started roping customers at the end of 2006. You should be in fairly good condition for the ropes challenges, which require upper-body strength and stamina, but anyone (vertigo or acrophobia sufferers beware) can navigate the intentionally rickety "Indiana Jones-inspired" suspension bridges, then fly (in secure harnesses) over a rain-forest-filled valley from one towering turpentine tree to the next. There are 21 stations, as well as a snack bar and interpretive signage. First-timers fear not: the "rangers" are affable, amusing, and accomplished. Admission varies slightly, but is usually $85. It's open daily 8-6.
