Zip through the Giant!

September is the month where my dad and brother celebrate their birthdays. So we thought why not for a change, we go on a family adventure and check out the Sleeping Giant Zipline Fiji in Sabeto, Nadi.

I had never zipped before so i was extremely excited. To be honest, i was also terrified because i had seen this movie or was it a TV show where this guy gets his arm stuck on the line and they have to cut it off! Ok sorry, that was just too gruesome but no seriously i was terrifyingly excited, if i can describe my emotion like this.

Finding the location was not too hard. We arrived to shrills of excitement zipping through the air which gave me goosebumps! It was starting to feel exciting already!

The environment and set up was serene and the air was crisp and cool. Friendly staff greeted us as we rocked up to the reception area.

If you are like me, then the rush and energy of trying out something new has a really exhilarating yet nerve wrecking effect. I guess you can kind of see that on my face there, while my mom is all smiles!

The staff were supper friendly and entertaining as we went through the demonstrations. Finally it was time to set off. We walked up to the platform and were given final instructions. Then it was time to ZIPppppppp off!!

After the first line, you kind of get the hang of it and then by the second line it becomes easier and your body relaxes. If you have a fear of heights, i would suggest not to try zipping. I also felt that i was using my upper body strength a lot (well duh!) So hello sore arms the next day.

This activity requires walking (similar to that of a mini hike) so be sure to wear proper footwear and comfortable clothing. At first i was like "oh man this walk is killing me!" but then the excitement to zip down a line again just keeps you moving.

We kept moving and zipping around the area higher and higher up and it felt so so awesome! We did a few lines and not the entire one.

Zipping through nature is amazing and the Sleeping Giant has this magical feel to it. Pack your swimmers with you because there is a waterfall and you do get sweaty while zipping.

The views are amazing and its a great feeling to whoosh past and above it all! I highly recommend that you try this out with your family or friends- it is worth it! This place is also totally Instagrammable by the way!

We ended this adventure feeling on top of the world! A family adventure successfully and happily completed! Also one where we did not argue and bicker with each other (as families do!).
