What a great experience. This was my first time zip lining and Riley and Preston were professional, engaging, upbeat, and thorough. We went ziplining during their moonlight 9pm tour and it was a great adventure. They went above and beyond to make sure we felt confident and empowered when transitioning to each zip line or bridge. It even rained during our night tour and they remained professional and kept everyone's spirts up. We also heard a bear roar during our tour which was a bit scary, but also cool at the same time. It did help with the fear that we were several feet off the ground. We were provided with gear, glow lights for our helmets and the hands on training exercises before we embarked were priceless. Everyone wore their masks and it was a nice outing to experience durning COVID-19. Heads up this activity is hosted by a third party on the Salamander resort (which is a beautiful property) but is pretty deep in the woods. read more

Empower Adventures Middleburg - Golf cart ride from Ziplines. Too dark to take any pics and manage carrying a cell phone. - Tours Near Me - Middleburg, Virginia

My wife's sister got us two tickets to this as a Christmas present. We took off for a day in June 2022 and did the Treetop Zip Line adventure. We were on time and got carted to the course but they were expecting three people to join us. As it turns out, those three people thought they had signed up for a different time so my wife and I got to do this with just us and our two guides. Our guides were Tim N. and Gwen. We had done a Zip Line adventure with our kids in Williamsburg but this was completely different than that. After a very brief training and test on how to stop yourself on the zip line, we headed for the course. In total, there were five zip lines on the course and the guides gave us some history and fun facts between each zip line. After going down the first two, I was very confident in my braking and making sure I got to the platform at the end. My wife had some issues braking throughout all five zip lines. Since there were only two of us doing the adventure, the owner said we could go through the course again. Our guides said this does not normally happen. I was excited to go through the course a second time and my wife got way more comfortable braking during this second trip through. Our guides were friendly and very helpful. They had to pull my wife in a couple of times and they were great at walking her through it and were very patient. Based on this experience, we will definitely come back when the kids are old enough to join us. read more

What a wonderfully empowering experience! Even though I had to be rescued from the belly of the beast by Matthew (literally he had to pull me in 350 feet because of my naïveté), I did not know it was even possible to be joyous and laughing that high up in the air. Loved the entire experience with Natalie, Dillon and Alex and I am so thankful for the frequent and fervent prayers from my Salamander Family Reunion peeps! Thanks for a fun and deeply empowering experience! read more

This was my 1st ZipLine experience, and if other ZipLines are anywhere near as good as this one, I can't wait to try them. My hosts were friendly, knowledgeable, honest, and helpful. If you're at all interested in trees (like I am), they'll answer your questions and satisfy your curiosity. I highly recommend this Middleburg ZipLine adventure. It was fun, educational, peaceful, and a great "communing with Nature" experience!! John Reston, VA read more

I came across the zipline tour through Groupon. I thought it would be a great gift for our kids after completing their final tests. My eight years old son however chickened out at the last min and I ended up going with my daughter. I am glad he didn't go in retrospect because knowing him, he might not have finished the course. We had Sam and Shea first and Roby and Matt next. All the staff there are very supportive and amazing. They even took pics for everyone. My daughter and I have thoroughly the zipline tour by Empower Adventure. We highly recommend the tour to everyone, and we will be back when my son is ready to do ziplining. Thanks guys and keep up the good work! read more

This adventure was amazing!! We had the pleasure of Matt and Theresa being our guides and we couldn't have asked for more. They were very engaging and gave very clear instructions before each new zip.

First time Zip Lining! Chris and Chris lol do a great job explaining the do's and dont's. Both have great energy which makes the tour even more enjoyable!! Just take the plunge and go for it!! read more

I strongly recommend Empower adventures. I took my wife and her best friend out for a day of fun and it was delivered. They zip lined and rappelled while I took pics from below. Bryan and Jack were super friendly while also maintaining professionalism in a safety first environment. Their love for the job and experience was easy to see. My wife was very scared on the 1st two zips but she overcame it with a little help from the team. She beat cancer this yr and still has another surgery this week and this experience provided a much needed spirit lift headed into the final stretch. Thanks Empower, u guys were great! read more

They were very friendly and encouraging. Colin and the young woman (i forget her name) were really nice and informative. Luckily we were doing the zip line tour alone and it felt really empowering and intimate. I'd recommend this place to everyone who wants to try something new and to feeling empowered! And learn about some nature along the way. read more

We had a great time!! Our guides were helpful, fun and knowledgeable. They made our family outing so enjoyable!!

My husband and I celebrated our 10th anniversary with the Zip and Sip package at the Salamander Resort. It was so much fun. The Zip Tour Guides were outstanding. They really took their time explaining the safety features and ensuring each participant understood exactly what to do. The course features 6 great zips plus 2 suspension bridges. The views are beautiful. The zips are long and fast. As a couple, we had a really nice time, but I can also see this as a great Corporate team-building event and can be wonderful as a self-confidence builder. read more

What an exciting, memorable adventure! I purchased a TravelZoo.com voucher for a 2 hour tree top ziplining tour at 40% off their listed price. That was over a year ago & they're still running the same special, so I highly recommend starting your adventure there! Scheduling was easy, even when we had to reschedule. They offer a 1 time courtesy reschedule without penalty & they do operate regardless of rain or shine - so you may want to be mindful of that. We were paired with a family of 4 and had a great set of tour guides that took us across the lines and the 2 suspension bridges. The lines start short (90ft) and get longer (670ft) the further you get on the course. Since I had never ziplined before, I started somewhere between unsure & excited, and finished feeling empowered & ready for more! Unfortunately I don't recall our guide's names, but not only did they encourage, take awesome photos & offer fun facts of the surrounding area, but they were loving their jobs & really enhanced the fun. Definitely recommend the photo package they offer, it's such a minimal cost for capturing the fun-filled moments! read more

We had a zip line tour while staying at the Salamander resort and spa. Trevon and the Empower team could not have been more professional during the tour. From pickup to drop off, the entire experience was enjoyable and we would definitely do this tour again. Highly recommend it if you are staying in the area. read more

These guys were wonderful. I worked with Trevon on the planning, and he was extremely flexible, informative, and accommodating.

My adult daughters and I had a fantastic experience at Empower Adventures!! Trevon and Ashley were really professional, friendly and enthusiastic. My daughter very much wanted to do this but panicked when she first started. With tremendous patience and encouragement from her guides, she overcame her fear after the second zip. She was so ecstatic at the end and extremely proud of herself! This adventure is truly empowering and so much fun - we all loved it and took home great memories! read more

This was a BLAST!! My sister and I came to the Salamander resort to celebrate her birthday and decided to try zip lining.

I'm so glad I did! We will definitely be back. :) read more
