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.
