My daughter and I came up from Sarasota-2.5 hrs south- to do the trail ride. The place is very clean, well run, and so scenic. The horses were beautiful and well behaved. The trail was definitely different and very scenic, with some steep and narrow paths; not your typical flat and boring. The guests loaded up on a golf cart type vehicle to get from check in to the barn. Then we all waited while Sadie (?) actually grilled and ate a hot dog in front of us!! Same girl upon giving her instructions told everyone "to make your horse go, kick it, and if it doesn't go keep kicking it.. harder". I was appalled!!! One the trail ride, the other girl would take a few photos. I did want pictures of my daughter and I together,so I bought the package. Which is everyone in your group, and that day I think there were 12 or so. The photos she took were not good,but what can ya do? I should have let a gentleman in the group who offered to take my phone and take pictures. Also, between waiting to get on a horse and then waiting for everyone to dismount and get back to the main building, the total ride time was just under an hour. It really is pretty though. I think there were just too many people who booked the same day and time leading to a slightly shorter ride. read more

I came here and had a blast. Our guides Tiana and Andy were great. We did the "best of the best" tour that included 6 zip lines and a rappel. The zip lines were very fun and at times scary. The views were gorgeous. The trails were well kept. There's lots of water along the way. They do a whole bunch of tours including horse back riding. read more

I showed up here with zero experience and the staff got me set up and guided me along the way. Breathtaking views and an overall great experience. There is a little hiking and steps, but the gear is not heavy. You can't bring much with you on the zip line so make sure your pocket zip shut or you can buy one of their pouches that clips onto your gear. read more

Went with a group of friends and boy did we have a great time. It is worth the every penny. Our zip guides Rob and James were awesome. The two other friends brought along were afraid of heights and by the end were comfortable as ever and very happy they went! Safety is evident everywhere and the staff is very safety conscious. You can also see that the staff love their jobs! We took the 9 zip 2 bridge tour, not listed here. Took us about 3 hours from reservation start time to finish. Few things worth noting. If you're a smoker, just know there is no smoking or vaping. Also, eat a light lunch or breads beforehand or bring a snack bar or something you can put in your pocket or small bag that you can attach to yourself. They sell some in the office for sale. Water is provided at regular intervals in coolers and paper cups although it's not cold so if you're someone who likes cold water, bring some along but make sure it's attached to your body. Overall, I've been here twice and both times it was a blast. Highly recommend. The views alone are breathtaking. read more

I've had the chance to experience just about everything The Canyons has to offer -- from the Full Moon Zip Tour and the Big Cliff Canyon 9-Zip Tour, to the kayak tour, daytime horseback ride, and the fireside nighttime horseback adventure. Every single experience has completely satisfied my craving for outdoor adventure and allowed me to enjoy nature in such a fun and memorable way. No matter the activity, the guides have always been knowledgeable, friendly, and great at making everyone -- especially first-timers -- feel comfortable and confident. Their passion for what they do really shows, and it adds so much to the overall experience. The check-in process is always smooth and efficient, especially since you can review and sign waivers ahead of time. On the rare occasion when a tour needed to be rescheduled or canceled, the staff member who called was always polite, professional, and incredibly helpful. The Canyons has quickly become one of my favorite go-to spots for outdoor adventures in Ocala, and I'm already looking forward to my next visit! read more

An AMAZING experience at The Canyons Zip Line! I've been zip lining in other states and this was even better than I expected, especially in Florida! The canyon views were absolutely beautiful, and I love that the tour felt very immersed in nature and not just an obstacle course type of park. Being up in the tree tops and zipping across beautiful lakes was incredible! I wish I could have taken more photos but some of the best views are while you're zipping! We did the Best of the Best 6 zip line tour and it was perfect. It eliminates the "low and slow" bunny zips for anyone who has been before and gets straight to the good stuff. The lines we did were long (including the longest in FL) and super fast! Our guides Caleb and Taley were amazing as well and kept us safe and made the tour really fun. I would definitely come back and would highly recommend! read more

We went here as a family for my son's 12th birthday and did the 5-line Treetop Express. Since I'm middle-aged, chubby and not very athletic, I started out with a little trepidation when I saw people flying high over the canyon and water. Our guides Andy and Nessa, quickly allayed my fears. They started us on a short line just a few feet above the ground and showed us the correct way to position our hands and bodies for the smoothest ride and how to "self rescue" if we didn't quite make it to the other side. They assured us that the zip lines and the attachments hold 5000 pounds, so there was no chance of being too heavy and breaking anything.. Andy went ahead of our group and helped pull us to the platform and steady ourselves on arrival at the opposite platform. Nessa made sure we were safely connected to the zip line at each station. There were a few swinging bridges to walk across too. The whole operation was very professional, and I felt assured that they are careful to make it a safe experience. Our tour started and ended right on time. They took pictures of us zip lining and afterward for purchase if we wanted. Now that we have the beginners course under our belts, we may come back for faster lines next time. read more

When you're doing something like zip lining for the very first time, it can be a little intimidating. And exciting! The anticipation builds as you listen to the instructions from the guides. If you're really lucky, like we were today with both Ryleigh and Ivan - you'll have guides who are friendly, knowledgeable, experienced, and just plain fun to be with! That makes all the difference! We could trust the process listening to their every word and as a result, had a blast! In fact everyone we spoke with was great - on the phone and in person. Ryleigh and Ivan are awesome! So fun!! Thanks guys, see ya down the road! read more

We had such a great experience at Canyons Zip Line & Adventure Park. We originally booked for Friday but got rained out, thankfully they let us reschedule for Sunday morning, and boy was that the right call. The weather was perfect, and we were able to really enjoy the incredible views while zip lining. Everyone we interacted with was friendly and attentive. We really appreciated the "training" zone they have at the start to get you comfortable with controlling yourself and your speed. Our guides, James and Bailey, were fantastic. James did a phenomenal job explaining everything while adding light-hearted humor to keep things fun, and Bailey was warm, welcoming, and made us feel at ease the entire time. Both of them were not only great instructors but also genuinely enjoyable to be around, we honestly think they deserve a raise! We'd absolutely recommend this experience to anyone visiting the area. read more

This was on my bucket list and I'm so happy to have done this. I had the best experience here, me and my partner enjoyed our visit, of course we were nervous but our guides were awesome. There is kayaking, horseback riding and of course their famous zip line. We decided to do the 3 zip lines which took about 1 and a half. The employees run you through a practice to learn the basic then it's on to the top ones. but definitely plan to do more next time. It's a great time, I promise you will love it read more

We had an absolute BLAST at Zipline at the Canyons in Ocala. Honestly, WE ARE ONLY HERE FOR THE ZIPLINE!!! From start to finish, the experience was exciting, smooth, and just pure fun. HUGE SHOUTOUT to our guides Nessa and James--they were AWESOME. Super knowledgeable, funny, and made us feel safe the entire time while still keeping the energy high. You can tell they genuinely love what they do, and that makes the experience even better. We never caught the name of the gear chaps or the cart folk, but they were FANTASTIC as well. I felt smoothly guided from gearing to being carted to the training station to zipping across the swamp in my canon ball pose! FLAWLESSLY EXECUTED FROM A TO Z. The views? Stunning. The Ziplines? Thrilling. The whole operation is well-organized and professional. This is the kind of experience that makes you want to come back again and again. We would 10/10 recommend this to everyone we know... AND EVERYONE WE DON'T. If you're even thinking about it--just do it. You won't regret it. read more

Great guides and adventures! I loved the zip lines especially the long one over the lakes and the scenery.

What a blast. My brother wanted to do some kind of zip lining and he picked this place. We had a very long drive so we left the night before and got a hotel. I recommend going first thing in the morning and the the biggest course. It's worth it. Plus in Florida it gets super hot as the day goes the staff are super friendly. We got Mary & Jarvis. They were fun & funny. Our group were good group of people. We took my 9 year nieces she was a tiny thing but she was able to zip line she made the cut. She was fearless. The only downside were the photo. The photographer are not that great. Tip: Bring some cash so you can tip zip liner staff that are helping you throughout the course and making sure your safe and having fun. read more

I recently had the most exhilarating experience at The Canyon Zipline & Canopy Tours in Ocala, Florida, so much fun! From the moment we arrived, the safety officers/guides, Nate and Tim, made us feel at ease with their professionalism and upbeat energy. Not only were they incredibly knowledgeable about safety procedures, but they also infused the entire experience with fun and excitement, making every moment a blast. And let's talk about the canyons themselves - absolutely breathtaking! The views of the exposed rock formations and the stunning waters below were nothing short of awe-inspiring. It felt like stepping into a natural wonderland, and soaring through the air on the ziplines only enhanced the experience, providing unparalleled perspectives of the beauty surrounding us. Overall, The Canyon Zipline & Canopy Tours exceeded all expectations. Whether you're a thrill-seeker or simply looking to soak in the natural beauty of Ocala, this is an adventure you won't want to miss. Safe, thrilling, and downright gorgeous - it's an experience I'll never forget. Notes: there is ample parking, a small gift shop with souvenirs and more. Drinks to buy.

Updating this review after enjoying the Big Cliff Canyon 9 Zip Tour. This tour was a heart-racing, laugh-out-loud, ear-to-ear smiling experience from start to finish. The verdant, panoramic scenery is stunning, with breathtaking aerial views from refreshingly higher elevations than are available throughout most of the state. The zip lines are logically ordered, progressing from mild speeds and shorter lengths to vast, high-speed flyovers above deep blue water. Safety protocol and instruction are taken seriously, but in a manner that leaves plenty of room for fun and provides tour guests the opportunity to enjoy the zip lines in whichever way they consider the most fun and comfortable, from regular seated positions to adventurous inversions. Groups are kept to just the right sizes to ensure participants are not subjected to long wait times between zip lines. However, the single greatest contributor to this unforgettable experience is undeniably the guides, Ryan and Sam. They are the dream team, and they exemplify every quality one could hope for in a guide - approachability, attention to detail, helpfulness, professionalism, strong senses of humor, and most importantly, a desire to ensure everyone has fun. It is hard to imagine returning for further zip lining unless this pair is leading my group! read more

It was my first time horseback riding, alongside some of family, but the Canyons horseback riding team made our trip memorable! The team was friendly and communicative from beginning to end. We were given a run down of what was to be expected and instructions on how to best handle our assigned horses. The trail was around 30 minutes long and the sights were breathtaking and beautiful. Additionally, our guide shared information about the trail, including the remnants of an old mining track where we saw parts of the original track and a mining cart. The amazing staff and well-cared/trained horses were great! read more

Went horseback riding for the first time and this place was awesome! Our guide Megan gave us a great tour with historical facts and horse trivia. Pogo was my guy (horse) and he was not only adorable but his personality was cracking me up the whole way...always eyeballing the greenery looking for his next snack to grab on the go. My partner rode Moose and he was a wonderfully mild mannered horse. Two of the best boys in the barn if you ask me. We will definitely be back to try the nighttime ride with s'mores and wine! read more

We were gifted passes to this place! It was so much fun:) the boys went zip lining which they say was amazing. It included views, heights and thrill. The girls went horse back riding which included nature, views and thrills! The horse back riding had two women leading it. And about 7 participants. We were driven to the barn in a golf cart, waited for the girls to saddle the horses & hook them up. They called us up and we loaded onto the horses. This took about 20-30 minutes. They had wooden plate forms to help get you onto the horses. Once on the horse you waited in line . Trying to keep the horse from moving! Lol once everyone was in line we began our journey. We climbed some steep hills and we're on the side of mountains. Something about an old mine. We stopped and got pictures. And kept on our journey. They gave us a certificate and you can purchase pictures if you choose! It was a great adventure and would recommend it! read more

What an amazing adventure! I was a little worried as I have never zip lined and we decided to take my Girl Scout troop on a road trip full of adventures and this was our first stop. Our guides were CJ and Rachel who were both just great. They checked in often to make sure we were comfortable and had encouraging words at going and coming in. We did the 9 zip course. The way they have you do a couple of shorter zips to start is such a great way to get over the fear and learn to trust the equipment. I had an amazing time zipping across the trees then across multiple bodies of water. It was an amazing time that I encourage anyone to give a try- it's not as scary as it may seem! We had a girl as young as 8 go (she met the weight requirement). I plan on going back with my family for an amazing time! read more

Took the moonlight horse ride with fireside s'more and drinks. Pros: on time; seems to pair horses perfectly!; drinks are free, s'more are free, lanterns are beautiful, ride is easy, feeding horses is fun! Cons: wish the group was smaller. I think we had 14; personally would have liked it smaller--because.....once you get everyone on a horse, in a line, the first person has been sitting on a horse for 20+ minutes; I think I was number 7 or 8 and could barely hear the leader tell us where we were, sights, etc. Overall: great time! Everyone should do *something* at The Canyons!! read more
