A great zip line experience

Paul_R, Apr 2024

A great zip line experience, six different zip lines plus some additional optional experiences. The crew, Josh and Michael, are very professional, fun and make you feel totally safe, all you have to do is enjoy the ride and admire the great views. We have done zip lines around the world and this is one of the very best. Well done Empower.

Zip Line Course

Lekeisha_H, Aug 2022

Josh and Anna were very nice and professional guides. We had a good time with them and their awesome personality. They ensured they everyone knew what was needed to be safe and they kept us entertained when we had to take a pause during the course because of the weather. Would definitely recommend this place and team.

Robert_S, Apr 2022

Bonding with our team and the excitement of the zip. We loved our leaders Alex and Hanna. This was challenging and rewarding personally. I’m secretly proud that I actually zipped with the young adult’s. This is a must for active seniors.

Response from Host, Apr 2022

Thank you Robert for coming out and showing those youngins how its really done! We are so happy that Alex and Hannah showed you a wonderful time with us! We are proud of you!

What I will remember most...

Ruth_S, Mar 2022

What I will remember most were the obstacles there were. Hadn’t done anything like that though I have zip lined two other times. This by far was the best experience. Hannah and Drew were terrific, so kind and encouraging.

Response from Host, Mar 2022

Thank you for coming out to zip with Hannah and Drew! We're glad to hear that they made this experience the best of the best for you! We look forward to seeing you again soon!

Not relaxing at all!

Amy_H, Feb 2022

Guide was awesome and so were our kayak companions. We though it would be a leisurly kayak down a super clear river. It was in a small bay with tons of other people in 6 different groups. Very tough to keep up w guide. Don't do it if you have weak upper body. Not relaxing at all. Beautiful day though. We saw one small manatee but 10 snorkelers surrounded it so I did not see.

Incredible Experience

April_H, Jan 2022

I loved the group I was with!!! Everyone was friendly and the staff was great!! Was nervous but after the first line I was ready for more!! Would definitely do again!!!

Response from Host, Jan 2022

We're so glad we were able to help you face your nervousness and step out of your comfort zone! Thanks so much for coming out and for the 5 stars!
