Canopy tours give riders a close contact with local terrain and give more adventure to their experience.
-
Who can take a tour?
Most people can qualify for a tour. Cooperative children under 70 pounds can be tandem with a guide but not a parent. There may be surcharges applied for extra guides. Children weighing 70 pounds and over will be able to ride most if not all the lines on their own. The maximum weight limit for zipline is 250 pounds. Certain body types may make it difficult or impossible to fit and wear a harness properly. Participants should possess average mobility and strength. Individuals who are pregnant, have heart conditions, back issues, recent surgeries, casts, or any other medical conditions that could hinder participation in an adventure sport are advised not to ride. Certain mental conditions should also be considered, as this is an interactive sport and requires concentration and the ability to follow instructions. Extreme fear of heights or panic attacks could be factors to consider. Be safe!
-
How long does a tour last?
Tour durations vary based on the number of participants per tour. Each tour can accommodate a maximum of ten individuals with a duration of approximately 3 hours for a group of this size, maybe longer. Smaller groups will require less time to complete the tour.

What should I wear?
You will need to wear close-toed shoes (tennis shoes are recommended). Wear comfortable clothing, but avoid loose clothing (no scarves, etc.). Please do not wear short shorts or skirts as they are not comfortable while wearing your harness and could make your legs raw. Dress for the weather forecasted. Long hair needs to be tied back, and we ask that you do not wear any dangling jewelry.
** Remember to remove all things from your pockets, such as cell phones, keys, and wallets. You don't want them falling out during the tour.

If it is raining before your tour starts, we will wait for the rain to subside when possible; otherwise, the tour will be canceled or rescheduled.
