Please review all tour requirements and plan your day and travel arrangements accordingly.

Weather Cancellations:

We will not cancel tours due to cold or mildly rainy weather.

If tours have been canceled by management because of unsafe weather conditions tickets will be refunded or rescheduled for a later time.

Zipline staff is in no way obligated to begin or complete a tour for a participant or group that appears to be impaired, ignoring staff instructions, or that is found in any way to be endangering the safety of themselves, others or the course environment. Such participants and/or those found disturbing the peace of other guests with profanity, vulgarity or otherwise will be kindly evacuated from the course and not allowed to continue the tour. Refunds or rescheduling will not be offered in either of these situations. Smoking is not allowed while on the tour.
