Cycle across the valley on a suspended zip line and take in wide views of the park from above. This short, guided ride combines steady pedalling with a controlled glide, offering a different way to move through the landscape without speed or height pressure.
The session starts with a safety briefing explaining how the bicycle system works, how the harness is attached, and what to expect while riding. You’ll be fitted with a helmet and safety gear, and staff will demonstrate mounting and pedalling technique before escorting you to the start platform.
Once clipped in, you mount the specially designed bicycle fixed to the zip line and begin pedalling. Forward motion is smooth and controlled, with the line supporting the bike while you provide gentle propulsion. The pace is steady rather than fast, allowing time to look around and maintain balance without rushing.
The route crosses open sections of the valley, giving clear views of forested slopes, rock features, and waterfalls depending on conditions. Staff manage the start and finish points, assisting with unclipping at the end before you dismount and return equipment.
The Zip Ride is located inside a large nature park in the south of Mauritius near Chamouny. The park’s open valleys and elevation changes make it suitable for suspended activities with wide viewing corridors.
Access is by road, with parking and visitor facilities available on site. As the activity is inland, weather can vary from the coast, so arriving prepared for sun or light wind is recommended.
No previous zip lining or cycling experience is required, but participants must be comfortable pedalling and balancing on a fixed bike. Riders need to be able to follow instructions and mount and dismount with assistance if needed.
Weight, height, and age limits apply and are enforced for safety. Closed-toe shoes are required, and loose items must be secured before starting.
This activity offers a controlled alternative to traditional zip lines, focusing on balance and movement rather than speed. It suits participants who want a distinctive aerial route without committing to long or fast lines.
Trained staff supervise the entire ride, from fitting equipment to managing the platforms. Entrance to the nature park is included, keeping logistics straightforward on arrival.
A bicycle zip ride uses a fixed bike attached to a suspended cable. You pedal to move forward while the cable supports the bike above the valley.

The ride is controlled and steady, focusing on balance and movement rather than speed. Height exposure is moderate compared to longer zip lines.
Staff manage spacing and speed at all times.
