This is the 3rd or 4th time I’ve done this tour and it never disappoints even on a rainy Friday. This time I was with my two adult sons. The two guides Leah and Lacey were great. They were friendly and informative and made the tour a lot of fun! Thank you!

Everyone is very professional and knowledgeable and patient. Ben and Megan took great care of us and kept us feeling safe when I was a bit uneasy. They were always very supportive and kept a light fun atmosphere.

We thoroughly enjoyed this experience. The guides were very knowledgeable, helpful, and entertaining. The practice zip line at the sign-in location prepared us for the skills that were needed for the actual zip lines. We have done zip lines at other locations. This is the first time that we were taught how to control our speed, wearing heavy gloves, and exerting pressure on the line to slow us down! People with back problems should probably avoid this trip as there is the possibility of sudden jerky movements.

We braved the soggy weather and really enjoyed a lovely day zip lining through the treetops with Leah and Ben. Shout out to both of our guides who made sure we were all completely safe and also enjoyed a bit of comedy along the way. They made the day a fun experience and explained everything along the way from different trees, nature and the course but also had some antidotal stories that amused us all too. Definitely recommend making reservations in advance as they appear to sell out most days that they are open. Great family activity with our two twenty-something year old sons!
