Is the Vanuatu Zipline Worth It?

Is ziplining in Vanuatu worth it: what the reviews of Vanuatu Jungle Zipline praise, the one complaint they repeat, who should skip it, rain, and what US$94.81 buys.

Updated November 2026

Yes, for most people who can do it: Vanuatu Jungle Zipline’s tour has 84 reviews on GetYourGuide averaging 4.9, and in mid-November 2026 none of them was below four stars (checked November 2026). For US$94.81 per adult you get the transfer from Port Vila, six ziplines across the canyon, the 120-metre Skybridge and Summit Gardens. Skip it if you are under 5, over 120 kg, pregnant or not steady on stairs and uneven paths.

The guides. Of the 43 reviews with text in mid-November 2026, 20 talk about the guides or the team, several by name, and call them fun, encouraging or patient. A parent wrote on 5 July 2026 that both children, aged 8 and 14, have sensory challenges and that the guides helped them feel comfortable and confident on their first try.

Families. A family with children of 6, 9 and 12 wrote on 7 October 2026 that they all loved it.

Nerves about heights. “I was nervous at first, but the whole thing was fantastic,” a reviewer wrote on 11 August 2026.

The last line and the extras. A reviewer on 1 November 2025 called the last zip line awesome, with a beautiful view; another, on 12 November 2026, found the Skybridge and the gardens a nice surprise and the transport convenient.

The one grumble

The swing. On 8 November 2026 a reviewer would have liked to do the Canyon Swing as well but thought the upgrade “a little expensive”. Booked as its own ticket, the Canyon Swing is US$94.81 per adult with pickup (checked November 2026), and Viator sells the zipline, swing and Skybridge as one combo from US$172.74 per adult (checked November 2026).

On Viator

The same zipline sold on Viator has its own reviews, Viator’s and Tripadvisor’s counted together: Vanuatu Jungle Zipline with Transfers 4.8 from 202 reviews, and the Self Drive Option 5.0 from 113 reviews (checked November 2026).

Who should skip it

The Vanuatu Tourism Office gives ages 5 to 80, a weight limit of 120 kg and a waist of up to 120 cm, and says it is not suitable for pregnant women (checked November 2026). It is not suitable for people with mobility impairments either, and you need moderate fitness: there are some stairs, uneven ground and buttress roots in the jungle. Who can do the zipline has each source’s lines.

If someone in your group would rather watch, they can pay for a Skybridge ticket and walk along with the zipliners, meeting the group on the Skybridge.

And if it rains?

Rain jackets are available on site, tours are not cancelled because of bad weather, and the tour is suitable for most weather days. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before.
