Great Time This was not our first zip lining experience, so we had high expectations - Zip Adventures of Vail did not disappoint. There are 6 separate zips and a fun “plunge.” The guides were very personable and more importantly knowledgeable, so we always felt safe. An unexpected bonus is the music they play at several of the “platforms” before you zip

Amazing visit with awesome guides! My hubby and I booked our very first zip lining trip here. Due to the rain we wound up being the only 2 who showed up to go out for the 10am. That worked out well because we got to go at our own pace and get more one on one with the guides. Thankfully the skies cleared when we got out on the course and the canyon was just beautiful. We had the infamous Nick/Cannon duo and they were amazing. Funny, knowledgeable, encouraging and just knew how to have a great time. I have a mild fear of heights so I was honestly pretty nervous getting out there but they made us feel so comfortable and help build your confidence and encourage you to push your comfort zone. We wound up going upside down and doing the free fall jump which I didn’t think I’d be able to do going into it. We had a blast and made memories for a lifetime. Shoutout to Ashley and Matt as well for being so hospitable and accommodating.

Outstanding outfit and team- best zipline adventure in the American West “bar none!” After a rocky start due to travel logistics on our end, Zip Adventures of Vail agreed to still let us in our group even though we were late. It’s important to be on time because it’s such a terrific adventure that they can fill their slots with other people if you can’t make it but usually it’s too late by then for the company so to refund they would loose meaningful revenue- tough to understand as a tourist- but they deal with this everyday. This is such a professional outfit and terrific with kids. Our guides, Kannon and Shane, were true pros and super safe, fun and great with kids. My boys Evan (9) and Patrick (8) had never been on a zipline course like this which is rated in some publications as number 4 in the world. The management and support (Sonya, CJ are also pros and super hard working). The course is no joke, the speed, cross canyon winds and heights up to 250 ft above the canyon floor can certainly be intimidating but this crew has it down to a science, and it’s super fun and safe. I highly recommend Zip Adventures of Vail to any family or couple in the area- my boys loved every minute of it. …

Great Time A very good adventure -- overall first rate experience. Our guides were very professional and made sure of our safety -- and of us having a good and exciting experience. The 6 zip lines started out easy (short and slow) and progressively got longer and faster. The last one down the gorge was spectacular. Of course there were several surprises along the way that I won't give away -- but this is an adventure that you won't want to miss. The group we went had all ages including one girl who was only 8 -- what a trooper.

First time ziplining This was our firt time ziplining! Let me say....we were all nervous. Our boys are 9 and 11 and they were ready to bail. When we arrived at Zip Adventures the staff was immediately reassuring and more confident in our abilities than we were! Jimmy and Eli were our guides and they were great! They were very reassuring throughout the whole process....from fitting our harnesses to the last jump off. The course is nice because it starts you off gradually with a couple of smaller runs before you graduate to the big runs. The first couple of runs the smaller kids can ride with an adult but once you get to the bigger runs they have to go on their own for safety but we were always reassured that if they needed to they could go with one of the guides. The cliff jump is definitely worth it if you can take that first step! The whole thing was done in about 1.5 hours and we were all ready to go again!

The absolute best!!! Kannon and Austin were the best guides we have ever had for a zip-lining trip. The course is incredible, and even the rustic wine tasting after was outstanding. Thank you for a great experience!

10/10 would recommend We just got back from a trip to Vail where we did 3 big excursions for our family of 5- ziplining, horseback riding, and rafting- all booked with different companies. Of the 3 activities, this was the only one that exceeded expectations.

I ziplined once in Steamboat and the course was fun, but this course in Vail was awesome! 6 zips plus the optional Canyon Plunge. Before we set out we all said no way to the plunge, but once we got there, we knew it couldn’t be missed. What a rush!! Don’t skip it!

The kids in our family (9,7, 3) had differing levels of fear and the guides helped everyone to feel safe and ready to conquer their fears!

Our guides, Canon and Joel, were outstanding. They even took our 3 year old down the zips with them on 2 rides so that my husband and I could enjoy the zipline without a kid attracted to us. That is how much we trusted them! They carried our 3 year old on the climbs from zip to zip. They offered to take a few shots of our family at the end of the course, which meant a lot to this mom that over documents trips with photos and hates imposing on people to take the photo. It ended up being my fave photo of the day

We felt very hosted by Zip Adventures of Vail. 10/10 would recommend. Would rebook in a heartbeat.

Great day and fun guides! I went ziplining with my teenage kids and had a fantastic time. The six different ziplines (and freefall) that we did were all different and really fun. Kudos to our two guides who made the trip really fun with tips, stories and jokes, and got to know each of our larger group by name - very impressive. Would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a fun ziplining experience in the Vail area.

Great Experience! Day started off great with meeting the guides Tommy, Simon, and manager Eric. Went over all the gear as well as made sure we were comfortable and informed with what the day had in store for us. Course was amazing and went very smoothly with a group of 10. Will definitely come back out again and recommend to anyone looking for a fun, memorable adventure!
