Friendly staff and an enjoyable experience. A short drive from Vail or Beaver Creek. Located beside the great Four Eagle Ranch, another heralded experience. read more

This place always delivers! I have been many times over the years on several work outings, and I've really seen the quality of their entire product, and their expertise grow. The guides, and the entire staff are very friendly and always fun. I first signed up just myself and my 8 year old for yesterday, then looked to see if my 4 year old could go, which they advertise as young as 2 year olds can go. What!? So I talked to my ( slightly timid) 4 year old about it and said yes, so we went and I was so impressed with how much fun she had. She laughed the entire time, did the entire course (tandem with me) and she even did the canyon plunge (optional) with little hesitancy and was grinning ear to ear. Bringing my kids and seeing their excitement made this my #1 all-time experience with Zip Adventures of Vail. read more

Easy to book, incredible friendly staff and knowledgeable, entertaining guides! We had an awesome time on our trip. It was expensive, but IMO, worth doing. The photographer also picked up some great shots of us. read more

I rarely give out 5 stars, however, in this case, I wish I could give them more than 5 stars. We came as a group of 7 with the Vail Veterans Program. The trip was just the right amount of hiking and thrilling zip lining over the Eagle River Canyon. I appreciated that we didn't have to stop ourselves at the end of the line. I'm not known for my coordination so the extra help was welcome. What really made this experience so much more was thanks to our guides. Hunter Swanson, Kyle Mane, Steve Reid & Ben Zamora.........you guys were AMAZING!! One of the members of our group was a combat-wounded vet, double amputee. Our guides ensured that he was able to participate in this adventure with his children and the rest of group. Even in the extreme heat, our guides went above and beyond to carry him between platforms, safely and comfortably. Our guides did all this while keeping us entertained with their humor, educating us on the area and helping some of us (me) overcome my fear of heights. I cannot tell you how much it meant for us to share this experience with our friend despite the obstacles. I cannot thank them and the people at Zip Adventures enough. I highly recommend ZA for their 5 star service and thrilling adventures for the entire family. Thank you again!!! read more

Zip Adventures of Vail - View from one of the landing platforms. - Tours Near Me - Wolcott, Colorado

I wish I could give this six stars! I went a few weeks ago with my family and we were on a tour with about 8 others. We had the best time- even better than anticipated. We were a little hesitant about if it would be worth the cost at first, but all left saying we would absolutely pay to go again. The guides were so great and make the experience 10x better. They took time to get to know each and every person on the tour and accommodated for what each person needed. Our group was primarily young adults and they made it so fun by joking around with everyone, teaching us how to go upside down and tandem. You are zip lining over a gorge with pretty views and each zip line ranged in length and speed. If you are considering zip lining near Vail, definitely go with them! I cannot say enough positive things about this experience. read more

OK, this place is a little out of the way. You are told it's in Vail, but it's really between Vail and Glenwood Springs, in Wolcott. So much the better! The remoteness makes the hike and zipping over the Eagle River Canyon a much better experience than the commercial, amusement park type feeling in Vail. The location is a little confusing to get to, and I was late for my reservation, but Andreas was extremely nice and accommodating. Great guy to visit with! read more

Yes, you can now go ziplining in the Vail Valley. I'd never been before and was a tad nervous, but when our group was assembled I learned that the two "older" ladies in the group (only as a relative term!) had actually been out the day before -- and loved it so much that they came back for a second round the next day. And well, they are always doing it on The Amazing Race, and I know I'm braver than at least half those people. Of course, you also have to sign a waiver before they suit you up, but I consoled the lawyer in me by reminding myself that "assumption of risk" also assumes that all the gear is in good working order...you know, just in case and all. The experience starts off with a fairly short line so that you can get a feel for everything without being up too high or going too fast. Naturally, that just gives you a taste for more. The last line is the longest, at about 1000 feet long and pretty high. The husband made fun of me for hanging on for dear life at times, but I really had a good time (even looking down -- the view is incredible) and could have gone through all six lines again. thanks for a great experience! read more

Zip Adventures of Vail - Tours Near Me - Wolcott, Colorado

Zip Adventures of Vail was absolutely amazing! I had zipped in Branson before, in 2 separate palces, and this one is easily 10X better. The zips over the canyon were breathtaking. The guides, Caleb and Tim, were fantastic and entertaining. They also showed us a few cool zip tricks including going off backwards and upside down. I have some great GoPro footage and pics I wish I could share on here, but you should really go see for yourself. On zip #5, the guide allowed me to go back out and dangle over the canyon. He came out and pulled me back in after a minute or 2. Talk about a view!!! I highly recommend this place. Great value for the money!! read more

Great zip lines with just the right amount of walking from line to line. The guides were great and added to the enjoyment going beyond just the thrill. I have road a good number of zip lines over the years and ALL of them have been very different. What I discovered at this place seems to be the best combination in safety and enjoyment from the feel of the hardness all with way to how you (meaning they in this case) break at the end of the line. The biggest tip I can give you is to bring a camera. A GoPro with a wrist mount or on a stick would probably be best. (Do not fear the gloves seen being worn in some of the promo videos -- for our experience these were NOT needed) The only downside (and I did not deduct a star for this) is the photos they take are pricey -- way too much for the digital copies and the printed form is always something I cringe at. I truly wish places like this would give you only one option -- to buy everything from your experience in digital form delivered to your email (via a media share service) for one reasonable price. Then, if someone absolutely needs a 'hard' copy sell them a logoed flash drive for an extra few bucks. Making prints is a waste of everyone's time and only comes with grief for the employees battling to keep the hardware running. read more

Loved it. Great experience and I'm so glad I did it. As of this writing, it is $150 a pop and you get six fantastic zips out of it. It's a little expensive for my wallet, so it's something that I personally would not do on each and every vacation to Colorado. It's certainly worth experiencing once in a lifetime... and maybe a few more times. I researched these places a lot and found this one to be one of the best. After visiting, I can say it has definitely got to be one of the best... if not THE best. The first five zips will have you zig-zagging back and forth across the canyon. Each zip is progressively longer and higher off the canyon floor. (So you start of small and easy... just getting your toe in the water.) Also, each zip continues to take you further and further away from where you started on the first zip. In the end, the sixth and final zip runs the length of the canyon taking you nearly all the way back (close to the first platform on the first zip). It's a very good layout, especially ending with that last, long zip... it's like a grand finale. For those who might be afraid: I noticed one thing on each line. At no point was I, or any other zipper for that matter, having to jump off the edge of a cliff. Don't get me wrong... the lines do cross a very deep canyon, but when you jump off the platforms, and are first hanging with feet in the air, the ground slowly tapers away. So before going over the canyon, you do have a few seconds to get comfortable with the movement on the line and adjust to the feeling of your feet not being on the ground. Got folks in the party who don't want to zip? No problem. The central hub and starting point for Zip Adventures begins at the "4 Eagle Ranch". While waiting for my Zip to begin, my part of three relaxed in some rocking chairs on the front porch of the main lodge building. We watched many other folks participate (for $ I'm sure) in other activities such as learning to lasso and shoot rifles. Box lunches were available. If someone wants to stay behind and not zip (which takes about 2.5 hours), I don't think staying behind will be that bad. I'd say grab a lunch, sit on the porch and enjoy the sites. Preview the zips or observe: I noticed that the highway running from "4 Eagle Ranch" and I-70 passes the canyon and the locations of the zip lines. There were a couple of pull-outs. If you want to see first hand what it looks like, pull over here and take a look. In the end, glad I did it. read more

My son (12 years old) and I decided to zip line after looking online for something fun to do and Zip Adventures did NOT disappoint. Of course I was a bit nervous at the beginning but our guides Kannon and Jimmy put my fears at ease. They were very thorough in their explanation of the harness and safety equipment (they supplied everything, even the helmets). After their tutorial, I was ready to go. Kannon and Jimmy were AMAZING! They took us out a few miles to the canyons where the zip lines were located. Once there, they took turns going on the zip lines first and then us. These two were incredibly knowledgeable, personable, and fun. There is even a cliff jump about 3/4 of the way through. You jump off a 'cliff' while connected to a rock climbing wall pulley system. There were also snacks and water throughout the adventure. I cannot say enough about these gentlemen and the fun that we had. I highly recommend this for anyone looking for an adventure. I have a six year old daughter that I would have taken along gladly had she not already signed up for a biking adventure. read more

My 8 year old son, Gavin, and I were on a mother-son trip to Colorado and wanted to experience as much adventure as possible. Gavin was really nervous about zip-lining by himself, so I was excited to find a company that allowed tandem-ziplining. The price may seem steep to some, but it was worth every penny! I was especially impressed with the organization of Zip Adventures. The group wasn't too big so the kids didn't get antsy waiting for everyone to take their turn. The guides were experienced, fun, and loved their job (and it showed!). Gavin and I went tandem the 1st round...but then decided he wanted to go at it solo. The guides were so supportive and made him feel SO comfortable and safe....and he went solo the rest of the zips! The guides even showed us how to flip upside down - so much fun! We had an amazing time and I will definitely be coming back when my husband makes the trip with us next time! read more

The zip lines were easily our kids (5 and 7) favorite summer activity in Vail. Our guides Kannon and Jimmy were excellent - great with kids & adults. Excellent organization, nice water breaks in the shade, it really couldn't have been better. From kids to adults - everyone had a great time. Great pictures too. read more

Not only the zip line was super fun and awesome, but also the tour guides made the experience something our whole family will cherish. We went here after consistently searching for things to do in vail and it was well worth the money. Also, the pictures they take during the course are also phenomenal and I'm very happy with how they all turned out. P.S. our tour guides names' were kannon and max so if they are your guides, from what we know, you're in good hands. (Although I'm sure all the guides are awesome.) read more

Truly one of the most fun activities to do in the Vail Valley. The staff is amazing, trustful, funny and so knowledgeable. I have been on this Zip tour 3 separate times and it just keeps getting better and better. Anytime I have company in town, we'll definitely include Zip Adventures on our activity itinerary. Thanks So much for the thrills and laughs!!! read more

Thanks and a big shout-out to our guide Andreas, and all the folks at Zip Adventures. The entire experience from start to finish was professional, safe, exciting, and (most of all) FUN! From start to finish,the guides check, double-check, and triple check your gear prior to launch. Just step (or fall LOL) off the platform and enjoy the ride/view. Get as creative as you like while zipping too...Upside down and backward is my fave! LOL! Price was reasonable for our group (all together 450 bucks for the three of us) and I can't say enough good things about the staff. So friendly, engaging, and actually, downright cheerful! Quite a few rec firms here in ATX could use a lesson from these guys in terms of making customers feel at home. Hat's off to you guys! Keep zipping! See you next year! read more

Just went zip-lining today with Eli and Adam! They were the absolute best guides, had an amazing time! Thank you!!

First class all the way. From pre-booking to post trip communication, Zip Adventures provides an adventure package that does NOT disappoint. Check-in was smooth and simple. If you are expecting 30 minutes of paperwork, waivers and signatures, look elsewhere. I recommend arriving a little earlier to enjoy the 4 Eagle Ranch which is where Zip Adventures office is located. Its a great spot to explore and take some beautiful photographs. Right before departure, the tour guides will greet you and set you up with all the necessary gear which includes a harness and helmet. Now it was time to load the group onto the Zip Adventures super duty rugged1970's All Terrain Vehicle. It was a ten minute open air ride to start of the real fun. Once we arrived at the first Zip course there was a five minute extended meet and greet and some additional safety tips. Before I new it I was zipping along the first course and the adrenaline rush was in high gear. Zipping is super fun and very exhilarating but the actual ride doesn't last too long so make the best of it. Zipping from one side of the canyon to the other is fast paced but the good thing is the feeling lasts long past the actual zip time. I'm still feeling the rush five days later! The guides are so cool and outgoing. The guides are very safety oriented and make you feel at ease the entire time. There is a little bit of hiking(really trail walking)involved when going from zip line to zip line but nothing I would call strenuous unless of course you are extremely out of shape or have a serious medical condition. The guides offer you plenty of bottled water and energy bars to boost you along. There is also music piped in at certain zip line posts to enhance the mood and energy. So neat! Last but not least there is a repelling type adventure that is part of the tour. It essentially is a 65 foot free fall off the side of the cliff but obviously you are strapped in and gradually lowered to the ground. I will tell you it is very intimidating for those who don;t do well with heights or those that do not like walking on the edge(of life). All in all it was a great adventure especially for someone who is not typically very adventurous. I will sign up again later this year or next. read more

Our guides were great and the view amazing. If you are looking for a great adventure that is safe, breathtaking, and just down right fun you should come here. read more

On my final zip-line, I had yelled out going backwards off the ramp saying "Yippie Kay Yay ******er" (FYI, Die Hard is a great movie haha!) This is one heck of adventure and thanks to our fun tour guides for the amazing hospitality, making sure everyone was safe, and fun! There was six zip-lines that you're going across canyons and rivers going backwards, upside-down, and in tandems! Or how about going backwards, in-tandem, going upside-down haha! That's what me and my cousin-in-law did! First off for anyone who's doing this for the first time or nervous trying this, they basically triple check everything with your helmet, your two harness straps attached to zipline, and strap across your waist. The first one is pretty simple straight line across about 500 feet that I even went upside down hahah! On the next zips, the difficulty and fun increase to the final zipline going across about 1500 feet and going about 35 mph per hour. At the end of each zipline, there's always one or two trainers there to catch you if you come in the wrong way or something. I wouldn't recommend doing this a bunch of times in your life but once or twice should be enough to experience zip-lining adrenaline rush. Recommended this place for the great experience and trainers that make you feel safe and having fun at the same time! read more

Great fun with my wife and child. He is six and about 50 pounds and we were not sure he would be able to do it. The guides were fun and mostly professional. The zip lining was safe well constructed and great fun. Six stations with each one a bit longer than the last. Back at the ranch (literally) the photo guys were very helpful and loaded up a disc for us since they were not busy. I'd do it again in a heartbeat - it was $150 a person but worth the money. read more

We had such a great time with our guides, Kannon and Jimmy. They remembered everyone's name and made us feel comfortable. Zip Adventures goes above and beyond by making this an experience. If you're questioning booking with them, DON'T! read more

OK the 150 per person was a bit pricey for me......but it was a once in a lifetime thing and if I was going to zip, I wanted the best of the best....and from my research - this place was it! You are not just zipping over dirt....here you go over a canyon!!! The guides we had on our tour were AMAZING - we had such a GREAT time! I am so glad that we tried this place - if you want the best of the best, these boys are it! If you plan to do this only once or twice in your life - go here, i am glad we did! read more

First, the views are awesome! As someone who is afraid of heights, I loved they slowly work you up to longer and faster lines. They cliff jump is optional!!! I was so scared I'd have to in order to get to the next line. Eli and Austin were AWESOME! They were hilarious and I enjoyed the stories. They were VERY good with young kids too! Great job guys! read more

What a rush! My wife and I had never been zip lining and are so glad we went to Zip Aventures in Vail. From the moment we stepped onto the ranch, the staff made us feel welcome. Chris and Cannon made us laugh and feel at ease as we soared hundreds of feet above the canyon through trees and over sheer cliffs. Ashley met us at the end to relive the thrills on a TV screen back at the ranch. We will be back next summer. Thank you Zip Adventures! read more

I've been ziplining in Costa Rica, Honduras and Mexico and none of them compare to this! My kids and I had so much fun!! Cannon and Chris were some of the best guides ever! We went ziplining by Glenwood Springs last year, which was totally lame and the guides were super uptight. The views on this course are out of this world. We would definitely do it again! read more

Zip Adventures is awesome and you will NOT be disappointed if you book with them. The whole experience from start to finish was top notch. Our guides Max, John & Diego not only made us feel safe, comfortable and encouraging but provided a fun experience i will not soon forget. Heights are not my strong point so when my daughter asked if i would go zip lining at Zip Adventure, i was a bit hesitant. Max, John & Diego gave me the courage to conquer my fear and had me upside down on one of the zip lines, and yes i have a picture to prove it. The whole staff at zip adventures rocks but a big thank you to Max, John & Diego for your support not making me scream like a little girl. read more

Zip lining at Zip Adventures was a blast! Their staff was knowledgeable and made me feel safe throughout the tour.

I've done this course a ton of times and brought my visiting family on a morning tour with Nick and Melissa. It was AMAZING.

Definitely the best zip lining excursion my husband and I have ever done!

Huge props and thanks to Zip Adventures, we had such a blast! read more

The zip line Superfun experience is a must do! 6 zip lines with spectacular views of the canyon and river. The guides were terrific. Very informative, funny, and took the best care of us. Each zip line was unique and I can't wait to do it again. Will go back to 4 Eagle Ranch soon. read more

This is a must do if you are in the Vail area. I've lived her for 10 years and just went on this adventure. I can't believe I waited so long! We got to zip across beautiful canyons and the Eagle River. It's not exactly in Vail, but well worth the short drive. The drive to this location is beautiful and part of what makes the experience so special. You start at a beautiful ranch and then take a short drive to the course. The entire operation is top notch, from the friendly owner, Matt, who greets you with a smile and his friendly demeanor, to the the guides who are fun, funny, and make the adventure feel very safe. Definitely worth doing if you are in the area! read more
