This was our first zip lining experience and was great. Well organized, very safety conscious and the guides were fun to zip with. You work your way up by level (height, speed and length) as you approach each different line. Beautiful property as you move from treetop to treetop. You should go with confidence that you're headed to a good... More

My husband and i went with our 16 yr old daughter. We had not zip lined before and I was nervous, I should not have worried. The instruction was good, everything was done to a high standard of safety and the staff were entirely encouraging and made the event exceptional fun. We enjoyed great weather in a peaceful forest environment.... More

Safe, exciting, fun, hilarious adventure. If you can't make it to the jungle, try Hyde Park. Nestled in a great little town. This is just what the Dr. ordered

What a great place for first timers to ziplining like we were! The course was varied with long and short runs, high and low lines and even different kinds of trees on the platforms. I loved it that I didn't even have to put on the "brakes." The staff took care of that for us. Steve and Bill were great... More

My husband and I tried the zip lines at Big Bear and had a great time. Bill, Terry, Linda and Oona were terrific guides. They were safe, upbeat and very professional. We had a great time. It didn't hurt that it was a picture perfect day to be in the woods sailing through the trees.
