I am glad that you posted the info about the sky cycle. We are going in August 2008 and we were looking for a adventure tour but I did not want to ride the zip line as they go to fast for me but my husband enjoyed it. We rode the zip line in Puerto Vallarta and the braking system wasn’t very good. From what I understand, you can brake with your hands or your feet on this. Is this correct ?

Thanks for the info.

Just found your site. We will be in Playa 2 weeks from today with our 3 teenagers. This is our first trip and first real vacation in over 5 years (shame on us). How does this tour compare with some of the Zip Line tours offered?
We would love your comments. Also, other than the obvious beaching and eating, what would be the top 3 activities that we shouldn’t miss? (Want to save some for another visit)

PlayaZone response: The main difference is that zip lines tend to move quickly and often travel on an incline. The skycycle moves by the rider’s own power and goes as slow or fast as they wish. As for the three activities you shouldn’t miss, we think a visit to an archeological site is a must (see our “Mayan World” page). We also strongly suggest a snorkel tour or site. After all the Riviera Maya has the worlds second largest coral reef. Finally we recommend a day on the blue water of the Caribbean Sea either sailing or fishing. (check out our Catamaya blog entry). And when you are in town feel free to stop by the Luna Blue Hotel and Garden, Playa Del Carmen’s most popular small hotel.
