There are quite a few Zip Line Tour companies in the Smoky Mountains, but choosing the right one always comes down to the kind of experience you are looking for. Smoky Mountain Zip Line and Canopy Tours is a great choice for families and groups who want their adventure to be safe, fun, and unique!
The Smoky Mountain Lip Line Experience
After booking your trip and attending a mandatory safety "zip school", your guides will bring you to the mountain top in a 6 x 6 military truck on country roads. Included in the cost of the trip and an experience in itself. Not only does this get your adventure off to a great start, but it also saves your family or group the trouble of walking up steep mountain trails.
For zip lining adventures, two professional guides that prioritize safety will accompany your group. Not only are these guides professional, but also they do a great job of settling any butterflies you may have with a good joke (or two).
This zip line tour company in the Smokies offers a variety of trips and packages that you can pick depending on your schedule and the kind of experience you want. The adventures this zip line company offers are canopy tours that use zip lines to take you from one section of forest to another.
