This exceeded my expectations 100%!! I booked this zipline tour for me and my 8 year old daughter and we both had an amazing time. Our tour guides were David and Amy. They both were great and my daughter felt safe with both of them going on the longer ziplines where she needed to be attached to a tour guide. The 1/2 mile zipline section is intense and will give you an adrenaline rush like nothing else! I plan to return to Upstate Zipline every year - new family tradition! Thanks again Amy and David! We will be seeing you again soon!

We had a wonderful experience with our first time zip liners and all my kids were super comfortable because of the amazing staff. Alan and Makayla were so accommodating and safety was their number one priority. They made our visit so personalized and filled us in about the local wildlife! Our favorite was going over Lake Keowee! We definitely be back with friends and family!

Best ziplining experience! It was our children’s first time ziplining and they absolutely loved it, ages 7, 6 and 3. They had a few fearful moments and the staff was wonderful with them. Allen and Cade are so kind and great guides! Can’t wait to bring our family back again.

While in Greenville for a concert we decided to Zipline. From the beginning there schedules were accommodating without planning days or weeks in advance. Our guide’s Amy and David were awesome and helpful with persons of all experience. We had a group of about 10 total and made fast friends with them for the next 2 hours. So fun!!! Beautiful 40 ish minute drive from Greenville. Weather was great and we can’t wait to comeback. Thanks for having us!!!

I was impressed with the team and experience at Upstate Zipline. Cat and Jake were our guides and very pleasant. They were supportive of the two little ones (9 yrs old), patient and caring. They were efficient and “safety first” but also casual, light hearted and fun. It was easy to have a good time. I love the way the course was designed with the trees instead of a lot of unnatural infrastructure. I would do it again.
