The Canyons zip line tour was outstanding. Our guides were very entertaining and knowledgable. The zip lines are all different and equally fun with stunning views. The most fun part of the tour was the repel. It looks so scary, but it's actually amazingly fun! I definitely recommend this to any adventurous family or couple. It's a blast!

I was so scared to do this! After the first zip I clung to the tree, was crying, shaking and could hardly breath. I made it through and loved it. Our group was great and the guides (Rob and Matt) were awesome! They were fun, energetic and supportive (even more so then the dude I went there with) lol. I... More

Took the canopy tour with two girls, ages 10 and 12. My 12 yo was really pushing to do this but it was a little scary for her. But she did fine, thanks to our outstanding guides, Laura and Zombie. Patient, knowledgeable, professional, and positive. This is an expensive outing for a family of four - $360, but a great... More

Awesome experience, well worth the time and money. We had excellent guides. They were very professional, but funny at the same time. They made our experience one we will never forget. Jen and Josh were just outstanding and I would request them. They made sure we were properly trained and knew how to safely zipline. Then they took us out... More

Me, my wife and 22 year old daughter went there for horseback riding and zip lining. They advertise the horseback riding as roughly a 90 minute ride. However, it's really not. They pick you up from the main building and take you to the stables via a horse drawn buggy (they could use the same motorized cart that they use... More

Wow this place is awesome...You get a 9 zip line tour for a great price and we had great guides. Rob and Craig were our guides and I would personally ask for them if I went again. They trained you well, were supportive and kept everything enjoyable and informative. You can also do a super zip which I highly recommend... More

We went to Canopy today. Our guides were Matt and Becky. They first had us complete a line only 8-10 feet high to teach us the grip, how to stop, and how to self-rescue (which sounds scarier than it is). We then started the nine zips across the canyons (quarries, really) and the canopy. The guides take care of all... More

One of the best organized, zips I have ever been on. I have zipped in Panama, Hondorus, Costa Rica. The staff explained everything and never before we're we given pointers and actually practiced. This was worth every penny. Highly recommend for the person who has never zipped and its a good run for those who have

I visited the The Canyons twice this winter. The first time, I just needed to get my "Zip Line " fix, so I did the Super Zip. Quite an experience. If you love speed, height, and distance, this is the one for you. I went back two weeks later with my daughter, and we took the Canopy Tour. Our guides,... More
