River Park Zipline Tour and Mule Ride

The River Park Zipline Tour and Mule Ride combines a zipline course in the Sierra Madre mountains with a mule ride and a tequila tasting. The whole activity lasts about 300 minutes, and the operator pitches it at people who want an adrenaline rush together with time in nature.

The experience begins with kitting up in your safety gear, followed by an orientation briefing. Safety instructions and all the necessary equipment are part of the price, so you do not need to bring anything technical. From there, the guides take the group up toward the top of the Sierra Madre Mountains and on to the river, where the zipline tour takes place.

Once you reach the river, the mules take over. You ride them for about 15 minutes, and the ride ends at the tequila tasting, which is included in the price along with bottled water. This gives the day a slower closing stretch after the lines.

Professional guides accompany the group throughout. The tour is meant for travelers with at least a moderate level of physical fitness. It is not recommended if you are pregnant, have a spinal injury or have poor cardiovascular health. The minimum age is 6, the maximum weight is 242 lbs per person, and cameras are not allowed for safety reasons.

Pickup and drop-off from designated meeting points is included, but hotel pickup and drop-off is listed as not included, so check with the operator which applies to you. When you book, write your hotel and preferred departure time in the 'Special Requirements' box. Food and drinks (beyond the water), the DVD, souvenir photos and tips are extra.
