We had a poor experiene as one guode felt my 12 Y/O son was to inexperienced and came in rwisted. He has gone once before at aniother area and had no issues. My opinion was we were in a large group and in general was moving to slow. To make things go quicker they eliminate him (and me) from the... More

I'm sorry we didn't live up to this guest's expectations. We place a strong emphasis on safety and one aspect of that is that we train our guides to coach guests in proper zipping technique. If a guest is not catching on to it by a certain point on the course, we empower our guides to make the decision to... More

Zip-lining is exciting and fun (but not for everyone). This course links a series of lines at increasing heights through the treetops in the Berkshires. At Zoar they are extremely professional, safety conscious and fun too! What really made Zoar stand out for me though was the way the guides handled a person in our group who went through the... More

This was our second trip to Zoar, a few years back we stayed in the tree houses and did the white water rafting. That trip was excellent so we were happy to see they added a zip line course. The same professionalism was found in the staff this time. Our guides Gus and Austin were great, more than just zipping,... More

It's good to know this is a zip line tour. So not just one long zip line but a series of them in varying lengths. You also get a snack! After having to reschedule after a very freak snowstorm, the day we went was warm and sunny. The guides were great and informative. The trees were even informative with little... More

This was my first time going on a zip line and believe it or not I am terrified of heights. The instructors/guides taught me everything I needed to know; were extremely knowledgable; funny and very personable. I felt entirely safe with them and all the gear I was wearing and couldn't stop laughing with all the comments being tossed out... More

We had a fantastic time flying through the trees with Zoar Outdoor. Our guides were extremely capable, professional, welcoming, reassuring, and FUN! I loved every minute of our tour - 11 zips, 2 sky bridges, and 3 repels. Never thought I would repel from anything let alone a huge tree! I highly recommend Zoar Ourdoor zipline to everyone.

We took a zipline canopy tour with this company on October 6th - FANTASTIC! The guides were great and we had 3 other couples in our group. They made this experience very memorable. I was a bit worried at first but the way it was handled was completely professional with humor thrown in. Awesome and would do it again in... More
