Shore Excursion Opinion

We are sailing on the FOS on December 14th. I was looking at excursion options in St Maarten. There is a zip line tour excursion that we interested in. The description says it lets you fly above the rain forest canopy on a zip line. I saw a video from someone who sailed with RCCL and it appears they also did the zip line excursion, but it also looked like there was not much of a rain forest canopy. So...has anyone had direct experience with this excursion and, if so, what was it really like? Were you up in the hills above the trees etc.?

I have NOT done this excursion, and it might end up being fun and well worth the money.
But, there definitely is no rain forest in St Maarten, so at the very least the marketing of this
excursion is pressing the limits of truthfulness.

Here is what it says on RCCL's website:

"While you soar between the tops of majestic 200-year-old Mango and Mahogany trees, you will experience, "up close and personal" the rich bio-diversity of St. Martin's only rain forest micro-climate (home to the largest bird habitat in the Northeastern Caribbean)."

Does that sound like an area in St Maarten to anyone?

I have always wanted to do a zip line tour, but I have also envisioned soaring above treed and through forests etc.
