Although the zip lines themselves were not damaged, 98 percent of the island’s infrastructure was, leaving tourist numbers dangling, said Julie Eaton Bryan. She, along with her husband Marc Bryan, opened Tree ‘Limin Extreme in 2012, and became the first zipline company in the U.S. Virgin Islands. At the time of the 2017 hurricanes, the company was serving close to 20,000 guests annually, and operating with a staff of 25 employees. The ziplines became operational again in November of 2018. Bryan said that visitors to the island are a welcome sign of the island’s recovery, which still has a few years to go.
