Great zip lining experience. Guides were very professional and caring. They made sure everyone was safe. The longest was 45+ mph and about 1000 ft down the gorge. Were able to do tandem; go inverted; and several other surprises.

This is a top notch zip line company with quality equipment and zip lines, happy employees, and reasonable prices. The young men guiding the tour are respectful, knowledgeable, and entertaining. The photographers took some amazing action shots too! We had a fun day.

This zip tour was an incredible experience for our family of six from top to bottom! Matt and CJ were so professional, yet friendly and welcoming, and our guides (Shane and Jimmy) were kind, personable and instilled confidence in us as we were challenged on each zip! Our children, ages 7, 6, 5, and 3 had the best day of their lives (truly) as they got to experience the mountains in a completely new and exhilarating way. As a family, we were thrilled to share in an experience that was fun and engaging for all of us. We would absolutely recommend and look forward to our next tour.

Had an absolutely amazing time! There was no way I would have done it had I not talked to the two young men that were going to be with us for the afternoon. We will definitely be back! Thank you!!!

Jimmy and Kannon were a blast. I appreciate the kid gloves they used with Deborah being that she was very nervous. Thanks Again Guys! I would not Zipline anywhere but Zipadventures. The experience was a memorable one thanks to Zip Adventures, I would highly recommend them.

Loved it. Great experience and I'm so glad we did it.

I thought the price was a little expensive, but you do get six fantastic zips out of it and the folks running the show are great. Overall, it ends up being a good value. I wouldn't do this on every visit to this Colorado erea, but it should be done at least once in a lifetime... it's really a "must do". Though, it is likely that they will expand the course making return trips very tempting.

I researched these places a lot and found this one to be one of the best. After visiting, I can confirm that it is 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 off 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.

The tour guides are very funny. Their personalities only adds to the experience, and IMO, helps to lock in excellent feedback.

For those who might be afraid: I noticed one thing on each line. At no point does a zipper have 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 your 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 party of three relaxed in some rocking chairs on the front porch of the main lodge building. We watched many other folks participating (for $ I'm sure) in other activities such as learning to lasso and to 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 we did it.

This was my first time zip lining and they gave me a great experience! I didn't realize we'd be zipping over a canyon which was a little freaky for me but I'm glad I did it. The guides were amazing at making me feel comfortable and even helped me do the cliff jump, which I never thought I would do. It is a little rough on this Texan to climb the mountains and leaves you a little out of breath, but they give you plenty of breaks in between and little water bottles and even popsicles/fruit snacks at one stop. Highly recommend!

Im a zip line chicken but this was fun. The guides were terrific and made me feel safe while encouraging the daredevils in our group to do what they wanted. The canyon is beautiful and we had a great time.

What an amazing experience in the heart of the Vail Valley. You arrive at a stunning location on a ranch and the staff is so friendly and gets you geared up. They drive you in these off road vehicles to the ziplines down the road. Here you are flying high above a canyon . I was nervous at first, but the staff coached me and I had so much fun I forgot about my fear of heights! Can t wait to go back!

Jimmy and Shane were great guides and the experience was awesome with great scenery! We got a small work group together and had a blast going through the 6 zip lines and also the cliff jump. I believe #3 has a pine cone challenge, if you can grab a pine cone from tree you get a free shirt - tree is pretty far away and requires good swing and reach (we didn't get anything, but definitely want to try that again haha). Lots more to do at the Ranch for anyone's outdoor adventure tastes. Despite all the COVID stuff, they are well equipped and prepared. Overall very pleasant fun experience and recommend for any group

My husband and I received a weekend at 4 Eagle Ranch as a wedding gift. We had THE BEST time ziplining! We were a little skeptical, simply because we aren't typically fans of heights, and it's probably not something we ever would've purchased for ourselves. But we had such a fun time, and our guides were fantastic! All around, it was a superior experience and I'd recommend it to anyone!

The course set up by Zip Adventures is rather impressive. Look to where CO131 comes off I-70 and you will see a tributary to the Eagle River cutting through a gorge area. The course zig zags back and forth from one side to the other with each trip getting longer and crossing over deeper drops. The last cross over is at the gorge opening near I-70 and the drop off is close to 200ft. The final leg then comes from terminus of the gorge back upstream to the starting point - probably a quarter of a mile long.

They pay their employees 14-17 dollars to do the job of a photographer, a receptionist, a janitor, a sales person, and a clerk. Not a business I would support, regardless of the service they provide.

Beautiful location, very knowledgeable, experienced and safety conscious guides who also made the adventure a lot of fun.
My husband and I loved it as much as our daredevil 4 and 7 year olds.
This is truly an experience for all the family. Highly recommend. The first thing our kids asked was when we would be able to come back!

Matt and Chris thanks for a wonderful adventure. Zip lining in the snow was fantastic. This is a must do activity, I couldn't imagine doing it any other way than in the cold and snow. Dress warm if you take this adventure during the snow season one minute there was no snow and the next we had several inches.

We had a family group of 9 on the Zip Adventure, ranging in age from 24- 81. We all had a great time. Our guides Eli (AKA Ranger Rick) and Matt were a ton of fun. It was great to have water and snacks along the way especially with one member with Type 1 Diabetes. We would recommend this tour to anyone who wants a fun yet safe adventure!! We will be back!

Wow, was this fun! Had a great time and this was made much better by the professionalism of the team that took us out. Chris and Kannon did the most important thing, which was make us feel safe. After all the rumination about 'should I do this?', it turned out to be fabulous

A great experience! The best thing we did while visiting Vail. Highly recommend you check them out. The course is amazing as you go from zip line to zip line. Drinks, snacks and even ice pops at the launch zones. Guides were great and had a great time with my family including our two boys age 9 and 11. Cannot wait to do this experience again next time we visit!

We booked this for our Colorado honeymoon and are so glad we did! One of the highlights of our trip. Guides were friendly and professional, and I never felt unsafe in any way. Would love to do it again if we ever come back.

AMAZING EXPERIENCE - Even for little ones!

AMAZING EXPERIENCE - Even for little ones!

I brought my two little ones (ages 3 and 4) and they were scared at first, but Mattie at the front desk was so sweet, and the guides did an amazing job of making them feel comfortable, and by the time they made it across the first zip line they couldn't wait to do it again and again! By the third zip line they were both going hands-free! Our guides, James and Nick, were INCREDIBLE. They were accommodating to our young ones in a sincere customer-oriented way, and kept us laughing the whole time. They truly went above and beyond and made it a memorable experience. The kids have asked at least two dozen times to come again! We will be back! :)

Outstanding experience for the entire family! From beginning to end, Zip Adventures stressed the importance of safety all the while having a fun time. Our guides, Hunter and Kyle, could not have been better (or funnier) they made our Zip Adventure a memorable one. Thank you!

I don't have enough words in my vocabulary to tell you how much fun I had. This was on my bucket list and I went with my son, two of my grandchildren, and a friend. We had the time of our lives....me especially!! I would do it again in a minute!! Cannon and Brodie were our guides and I cannot say enough wonderful things about them. They were very professional, yet fun; they explained everything and saw to every detail to be sure we were safe. It was a wonderful, wonderful experience, and I had the time of my life. Thank you so much.Thank you, too, for honoring our military. Too few of us do that anymore!!

The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable which made for a great experience. Safety was a top priority and I felt very secure at each zip station. The views are incredible and you will learn some cool history and nature facts along the way. Would recommend this to anyone visiting the valley or to anyone who lives here looking for some adventure!

Our day with Zip Adventures of Vail was one of the most memorable days that we are still talking about! It was the highlight of our summer vacation! Our guides were amazing and so good with our 3 and 5 year old daughters! We felt safe, secure and at ease the entire time of our wild zip lining day! I can t say enough good things about our entire experience with Zip Adventures of Vail! We will definitely be back and highly recommend this company if you want to zip line for the first time or 100th time! Thank you Zip Adventures of Vail for the best day that we will never forget!!!!

The Princess style of zip lines! They have everything so figured out its a wonderful experience even for me-afraid of heights. No climbing high ladders, no standing on edges, no reaching for the hand break! We didnt even have to control our speed, they stopped us and caught us without a worry. All we had to do was enjoy the ride-thrilling and worth every penny.

Absolutely the best zip line experience. You will go back and forth over a canyon. Hundreds of feet up. Way more exciting than regular zip lines. Last zip line you go flying down length of the canyon. You also feel safe the entire time. I can not recommend this enough. One of the most fun things I ve done on vacation

My son and I had an amazing time. Our guides Corey & Chris were amazing. I would highly recommend if you are around Wolcott, CO (close to Vail). I wish I would have found them sooner.
