5.00The first two lines are tame so that you can get used to the lines but after that it is awesome ( and a little terrifying to one of us)! Josh and Annabelle were terrific guides and very supportive. Highly recommend.
Awesome experience

5.00Staff goes through many checkoffs to make sure you’re safe and secure. They made sure we had a mini practice run, and had us on lines progressively longer. They were sooo professional, light-hearted, calmed any nerves!!! This Zipline was the best!!!!!
Great Day!

5.00Absolute fantastic can not recommend them Highly enough. Great progression of zip lines. The water falls were beautiful. The staff were the most genuine and knowledgeable about the local history surrounding the zip line. One of our party was their first time and they took extra time and care to make sure she was comfortable the hole time. Our party was running a little behind due to medical conferences delay and they were super accommodating.
Once in a lifetime!
