- HHHarrison Higgins6 days ago5.0This place was awesome! Well worth the money. Wade and Jeremy were absolutely awesome guides. Fun to talk too and just really chill dudes.

- AWAndrew WoodJan 3, 20265.0Took my wife here for her birthday and had an amazing time! Everything is laid out very well and the whole team makes sure you're never confused. The ziplining was awesome, especially if you're new to it! You don't get to do as many "Tricks" perse but as one of our amazing guides Austin explained: it's a canopy Zipline so it has more safety requirements. So if you're an experienced zipliner keep that in mind! Regardless, it was still incredibly fun! Special thanks to Austin and Brendan as they took care of our group the whole way! Austin had great energy but also always made sure everything was safety first!
- FPFrancisca PerezDec 31, 20255.0We had a blast on this zip line adventure! Brandon and Rebecca made the experience a uniquely fun one! Their dedication and knowledge made me feel special and safe. The altitude was astounding and the views were amazing! Great speeds and lengths too. The weather was in the high 30s, which we thought would be too cold, but it was actually perfect. It was only two of us in the group and the whole thing took about 2.5 hours. It was awesome! Didn’t feel like they were trying to drag it out or anything like that. We had a wonderful time. Probably the best zip line adventure ever!
- RRRommy RiquelmeDec 20, 20255.0Super epic experience! Definitely worth the first moments being scared. After the first Zipline you feel amazing and fresh! I went with my husband for our honeymoon, and we were the only two in our group! Our guides were Josh and Kaden and they were very funny, joking a lot and making us laugh to lose up the nerves ! Of course they were also very responsible and kept us always safe, and took a bunch of pictures of us. I am really glad we did this and will definitely look forward to doing it again! I loved the last Zipline which is the fastest, I liked the longest one a lot too, and also the rappels were great ! Recommended 100% ❤️❤️
