Tree Limin’ Extreme
Tree Limin’ Extreme runs on St. Peter Mountain, in the same high country as Mountain Top, but the point is motion. Six ziplines and two sky bridges connect eight platforms in the trees, with the bay and the outer islands opening up between the leaves.

Best for. A morning adventure before the beach
What the tour is like
Two guides run each group. The lines are not extreme in the terrifying sense; they are long, high, and scenic, with time on the platforms to look. The last line is the one people talk about: you travel out and the cable brings you back.
Closed shoes, a willingness to wear a harness, and a head for height are the requirements. Weight limits apply and are posted by the operator — check them when you book, not at the platform.
When to go
Morning tours leave you the afternoon for Magens, which is the pairing every guide suggests and the geography supports. Book ahead in high season and on days with several ships in port. Rain in the canopy is part of the climate; the operator will move or hold a tour if lightning is in the picture.
