Sky Valley Zip Tours: Ziplining in the Mountains of NC for Families, Friends & Fun-Loving Groups

Just outside of downtown Blowing Rock, Sky Valley Zip Tours brings the thrill of mountain adventure to families, couples, and groups looking for something unforgettable. Since 2012, we’ve helped thousands of guests experience the forest canopy in a fun and adventurous time with a whole lot of laughter.

The Most Fun You'll Have in the Trees—Guaranteed

We’re not just about speed and views (though we’ve got plenty of both). We’re about bold memories made in the Blue Ridge Mountains, where every zip is supported by trained guides, every laugh echoes through the forest, and every moment is yours to own.

  • Night Flight Tours – Zip under the stars with glowing gear, headlamps, and the thrill of nighttime adventure

Built for All Ages. Backed by Experience.

Our motto is “Challenge by Choice.” That means you zip at your comfort level—with full support every step of the way. All tours are led by trained guides trained in zipline operations, first aid, and making you feel like a rockstar. You’re never rushed. You’re always encouraged. And if you need a little boost of bravery? That’s what we’re here for.

This isn’t your average thrill park. Sky Valley Zip Tours sits on a stunning 140-acre property just minutes from Boone and Blowing Rock. The course takes you through lush forest, across a hidden waterfall, and out to views that stretch over the ridgelines. Oh, and did we mention “Big Momma”? She's our longest and fastest zip—everyone’s favorite.

Serving the High Country With Heart

KIND WORDS FROM RECENT ADVENTURES!

  • Our family of 6 had an absolute BLAST on our Mountain Cat Off-Road Adventure! We live in different states so it was wonderful to all be able to get together and spend time doing something we all thoroughly enjoyed. Our guide, JT, was a ton of fun and did a wonderful job making us all feel comfortable with the machines. Thank you JT & Sky Valley! We will be returning and highly recommend the Mountain Cat Off-Road Adventures to everyone!

  • The zip tour was the highlight of our vacation. Cody and Owen were wonderful guides. They were funny and knowledgeable and we felt very safe with them. All the equipment looked brand new. The views from the zip lines were breathtaking. We enjoyed every aspect of this adventure. If you are in the area, you be doing yourself a disservice if you do not book a zip tour with Sky Valley Zip Tours. Thank you to the entire team for an experience we will always remember! We can't wait to come back.

  • If I could give more than 5 stars I would! My kids (ages 11 & 9) did the kids course and it was fantastic! The staff was fantastic with the kids and the course kept them busy for a full 2 hours. They were exhausted and happy at the end - their laughter was literally echoing thru the forest. Highly recommend Sky Valley!
