5.00It was a great experience. Everyone was so friendly, helpful and informative. They do take photos but they do not pressure you to buy them at the end. They announce when the zipline is open and you go over when you are ready. The view is amazing!!!! Every zipline staff i came in contact with had smiles and gave Hella good vibes!!!! I highly recommend it and its a quicker way back down to the bottom.. lol and rhey have this little shuttle to pick you up from the observatory to take you back to the lighthouse base. I was the first to take flight on this day Dec 14th 2025, the 1 yr anniversary of the zipline opening. Again Job well done by the staff. I had an amazing time!!!
Almost made it!

3.00Couldn't wait to do this after we seen the zip line being built 2 years ago. Made reservations that "said" guided hike up to the lighthouse with facts about the area. That didn't happen! You're on your own! That's not a bad thing, the hike is straight up and some people take ample rest stops. From the top the view is outstanding and your nerves get amped as you get ready to zip a significant distance across the ocean. Once released, everyone seems to turn backwards and that sucked. We rode the two minute zip line backwards so you could really see what awaited you. Then, on this day, only 10% of the people made it to the end! We had to be rescued, although it doesn't take long at all. Just a couple of minutes. Very fun ride, just could be better.
Good experience

4.00We enjoyed our ride on the Zipline after the climb up El Faro. This is NOT a guided hike up as stated. You're on your own. The Zipline itself is a little too slack. Most of us didn't make it across and had to be rescued. That only takes 2 minutes. Not to worry.
100% Recommend!

5.00The Farolesa at Mazatlan is absolutely awesome. A unique experience. Idyllic location between two hills at the port of Mazatlan. Directly at another highlight, the observatory and the lighthouse. It is one of the largest cable cars (comparable to Flying Fox) in the world. It is 1.2 km long and high above the sea. Even the ascent to the starting point is something special and has it all. It goes uphill about 1 km on foot. Tip: Take something to drink. The view of the harbour compensates for everything. Finally, only 336 more steps and you are there. Friendly guides will receive you and give a brief briefing. Then it's helmet on, get in the harness and off you go. Approx. 90 seconds of fast-paced driving pleasure with a magnificent view. An absolute must for anyone coming to Mazatlan.
An Amazing experience

5.00What a VIEW !! This activity is a perfect example of believing what you actually see!! we had watched videos prior and it took one woman to say it was a hike that took over an hour for my husband not to want to do the activity with me. That’s just a personal opinion or that’s how long they took !! I myself with even being 50lbs overweight it only took me less than 30min … was it hard at times? Yes mainly cuz it was sooo hot 🥵 LOL it was an amazing accomplishment and the views were unbelievable ❤️ I enjoyed every bit of this experience!! And why people would hike this hike just to walk back down is unreal to me. LOL Go do the zip line longest zip line I’ve ever done and it was amazing.❤️❤️ and also there is a glass bridge to walk out and oversee the ocean, which was pretty cool. Also, they did not inform me below that it cost money to do this and my husband had all the cash so luckily there was someone in line that spoke English and gave me the 30 pesos to be able to experience this❤️ Thank you good stranger❤️Overall such a great experience❤️

5.00Just be aware that you have to walk 1500 km and then go up 337 steps to the light house. So make sure you are not hungover or just had Montezuma's revenge. The staff was awesome and extremely tentative. They were very patient with us. The climbing of the stairs was well worth it. It was such an amazing experience! Highly highly recommend it!
Great Experience

5.00It was so fun and my kids pushed through the hike knowing there where cats along the way. We especially loved the Observatory at the end of the zip line. The staff was great and we loved Roberto! He's the best!
