Best Zip Lines In Vail! Took my 16 year old there and loved it. The terrain is very scenic, the equipment is high quality, the guides are very engaged and the zip lines are fast!

Its close to Vail so its not a long drive. The place is well organized so you feel confident going with them. The 6 zip lines take about 1.5 hrs or so to do. They are each a bit different so you don't get bored. The place is full service so the stop you and make sure you are properly clipped in.

There is also a 65' jump, which I high recommend. Do it as a trust fall, its much better!

The other tip I would give is to try hanging upside down, it makes zip lining even more interesting.

You aren't going to grab a pine cone, so don't waste that run trying to get one (you get a free shirt if you grab one), just do the tandem and enjoy! More

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.

Zip Trip with the Crew We took a group of new students up for a team building event and the guides, who are nearing the end of their season, were spot on! Good jokes, delivery and timing as well as memorizing all 13 people's names by the second zip line. Really impressed! It was a beautiful day and a great adventure. Highly recommend.

Highly recommend Our guides Jimmy and Shane were very knowledgeable and so funny. They did awesome explaining everything and did everything for us so we had nothing to worry about. We got multiple water stops and a snack during our adventure so we didn’t have to carry anything with us. It was our first time zip lining and it was awesome!!!

Awesome experience Our family (parents + 8 and 9 year olds) had so much fun on the ziplining experience! The zipline course is awesome and super fun and the guides, the service was excellent and well-organized at check-in and check-out, and the guides (Jimmy and Q) were great - knowledgeable, fun, and professional. We've ziplined in numerous places, and this was definitely an awesome experience. …

Must do in the Vail Valley What an incredible fun experience with our coworkers! From the Bunny Hill to the zip through the canyon at the end was one of our best staff activities we have ever done.
We felt completely comfortable, safe and taken care of by the awesome staff.
Lots of hooting, hollering and laughing the entire time.
I will be recommending this to everyone, both here locally and visitors.

Thank you to the entire team at Zip Adventures for such a memorable afternoon :) !!!

Lots of fun. Cool location. It took some convincing to get my husband to go, but our 18 yo and I were able to win him over. After the first zip line he was good. It was just that initial step off. Beautiful scenery while you weave back and forth over the canyon. I even did the free fall, which was only a split second of free fall and then similar to a rock wall rappel. Just enough scare for someone who is afraid of falling. Good guides and overall lots of fun.

Positive and Memorable Experience At ages 78 and 75, we wanted to do something special to celebrate our 57th wedding anniversary.
We did so by going to Zip Adventures of Vail.
Eli, Adam, Matt, the photographer and the lady at the desk told us that they took care of everything, and they did.
Highly recommend.

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.

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!
