A group of friends and I went zip lining on May 20, 2012, and it was an absolute blast! I'm older and not in the greatest shape (other than round), and that hike to the last run was a killer. But I made it, and had such a great time! Our guides were Michelle and Dunkin, and they were so... More

First of all, the people who work here are what make this place spectacular. Sure, the zip lines are fun and are actually rated 9th longest in the world. However, Jay (AKA honey badger) and Nick (can't remember his nickname, but he was a photography school drop-out, LOL, just messing with ya) were awesome. How they have the energy to... More

Tour date May 5th with guides Erin and Blake. Our guides were awesome - friendly, knowledgeable and obviously having fun too. Tour took about 4 hrs total. Iced down water bottles were provided. You hike to each platform and zipline down 5 lines. The last hike is the longest and toughest (10 mins of pure vertical climbing followed by about... More

Thanks, Cat! I'm glad you and your group had a great time with Erin and Blake. I'm especially glad you made it through that last hike -- it can be a doozy, but it's always worth it! Look forward to having you back next time. The moonlight tour is a whole new experience. Thanks again, Brian George Owner More

A huge thank you to John Shipley, Devon and Michelle, for making our trip an unforgettable one. They were friendly, informative, and the whole experience was great fun. I even got to race Michelle on the last zip (she won) but we went super fast and it was exhilarating. I will defiantly be recommending this adventure. If you go remember... More

Thank you for the review. We love to hear when our guest have a great time. I do need to correct one mistake "longest zip line in the continental US" , NY Zipline at Hunter Mountain in New York State actually has that title. Who knows, there may be a bigger one being built as I write this. I will... More

Can't say enough about how great our experience was at Lake Travis Zipline. The whole operation is first-rate and excellent: beautiful location, ideal combination of short and long ziplines with hiking in the hill country and well-maintained equipment. And, of course, the staff -- these people are incredibly friendly, talented, experienced and enjoyable. Our guides Sharlene and Tara were outstanding... More

I highly recommend this experience. It's outstanding! I went for my first time on 4/21/12 and thoroughly enjoyed it all: the hills, lake view, tour guides Chris and Devon, and most of all, the longest ziplining adventure in Texas--over 1 mile. The guides were extremely safety conscious, aware, friendly, and informative, as well as very fun and entertaining. The office... More

What a thorough, informative review! Thank you for taking the time; I really appreciate it. I'm glad to hear you had such a great experience with us last Saturday. You're right that we have the longest zipline tour in Texas -- twice as long as anyone else, actually! Ninth longest in the world, and we're pretty proud of it. We... More
