Treetop Trekking Miami, South Florida’s first and only aerial zip line adventure park, has opened at the Jungle Island eco-adventure park on Watson Island.
The attraction’s three aerial courses are surrounded by trees, water and animals including gibbons, capybaras, lemurs, iguanas and ibises.
Combined, these courses offer more than 55 elements, including seven zip lines. Additional attractions include balance bridges, Tarzan swings, swinging logs and cable crossings.
The ‘Explorer Trek’ and ‘Thrill Seeker Trek’ courses are for visitors aged nine and above, and the ‘Discovery Course’ is for guests aged five and over.

Participants are strapped into a harness and wear a helmet as they ascend at their own pace into the treetops. Guests receive a safety orientation led by an expert guide.
“We harmonize with nature so people can feel inspired and enjoy transformative experiences that heighten all the senses,” said Jean-François Couture, chief marketing officer of the Trekking Group, which designed and operates the new park.
“After completing one of our adventure courses, you will have accomplished something, pushed your limits, and become a new version of yourself. In addition, you’ll leave with a very different perspective of Miami.”
The park’s Treewalk Village is designed for the youngest visitors, who can climb from treehouse to treehouse via a network of hammock nets, wooden bridges and ramps.
The Trekking Group operates 16 adventure parks across Canada and the US. Since 2002, the company has built and operated more than 30 adventure parks and nature attractions in North America.
“For 20 years, we have innovated in the field and continually improve the quality of our experiences as well as set the bar for safety and staff training in order to bring adventures to new heights,” Couture added.
IDEAS, a leading brand and experience design company, was selected to work on the renovation of Jungle Island back in 2021.
