The ABSOLUTE MOST MAGNIFICENT EXPERIENCE! Worth far more than the cost of $99 to do the BIG Tour. If interested and doing, I HIGHLY recommend Mark & Jacob (Cinnabon). Not only are they well skilled, caring & informative, especially in instructions, but are a total HOOT to be around. Anyone interested in the time of your life.don't hesitate.head straight to this place! The only regret you will have.is NOT doing this! LOVED EVERY SECOND!

We drove from the panhandle to zip line here because the scenery looked so much better than the options in Gulf Shores. We chose the 5 line zip package and it took just under 2 hours for the whole experience. Cody and YoYo were our guides and let me tell you, YoYo is CrayCray, but in a good way. I'm extremely scared of heights and these 2 helped me work thru my phobia. Cody was gentle and reassuring, which was exactly what I needed to overcome my fears. The scenery was beautiful. The front of house staff were kind and efficient. I felt safe with their equipment and knowledge of the gear. They checked our gear several times throughout the course and made sure we were all safe. And the guy that drove the shuttle, sorry I can't recall your name, told us all about other things to do in the area and was very helpful. Thanks for making our time there wonderful. Be sure to tip your guides!

Michael and Gillian were great guides. With their winning personalities, care and attention to detail, they put everyone at ease and made sure we all had a fantasic experience. My husband and I highly recommend this venue.

I took 2 great grand kids here and we had a great time. Our guides David and Michael were great they couldn't have been better. I had Knee surgery 2weeks before and David made sure I had an easy landing every time.

My family was just here yesterday. It was by chance, we were online looking for one more thing to experience on our drive back home. It was an amazing experience for all of us, even though it did go quite like we had planned. My children and I all chickened out.haha! But it really hurt my daughters feelings. (10 yrs) The staff were very understanding and just in the way they treated the situation showed the quality of people they were. Not for a millisecond did I get the impression they were annoyed, and a ride was sent to pick us up for the "Ride of Shame" (MY WORDS NOT THEIRS) back to the office. There they let me switch to another activity. So my children and I went on the kayak tour instead. My husband completed the Zip Line tour and absolutely loved it. My kids had a blast on the kayak tour. Neither one of them had been on a kayak before (8 and 10 yrs) and Tony was GREAT with them. With his guidance they were paddling very well on their own. We also did the Mining for Minerals activity. My kids were so happy and excited about all the gems and fossils there got. We had one of the best experiences here.

Suggestion: My husband and I made a mistake with the zip lining. As parents usually do, we allowed our children to walk up the steps to the first zip line first, meaning once up there, they would be the first to zip. Like I've mentioned they are 8 and 10 and usually very adventurous. However, after the fact (you live and learn), we realized that our attempt at zip lining may have been more successful if my husband, who has done this before, had gone first. That way our children would have had someone that just got up and did it, FIRST, to follow. Instead of being placed in the front to be the first to jump. But again, that was mine and my husbands fault for not thinking it through. I tried to go after my daughter got a little nervous. I'm like my children, I will do adventure, but I generally like to watch someone first. So, after my daughter and then myself got hooked up and then unhooked for my Husband to get up and actually GO, our other child was like NO WAY. But again, just a suggestion. I know it wont make a difference in every situation, but maybe having the person in the group, that most likely WILL NOT chicken out, go first - it may give just enough brave for the ones that need a little encouragement to take the leap.:) But the guides won't know your group like you do, so that's a thing each group will have to decide.:)

Ask for David and Richard to be your zip line guides. They were funny, safe, and anything you could ask for in a tour guide. I loved the set up of the adventure and never once felt unsafe. Very good value for the experience and know that my family will be back. This two hour trip has been talked about nonstop for the last week! Highly recommended!

I had a blast! I wasn't sure if I would be scared but they build up the intensity of each zip as you go through the tour so before you know you forgot you're 1000 feet in the air and just enjoying the BEAUTIFUL views. Ronnie and Gordi were our tour guides and were awesome!

We did the shorter zipline tour with Zach and Tony and did horseback riding with Dawn and Jenn. Both were well worth the cost and the guides were safe, funny, entertaining and knowledgeable of the area. Cool area that doesn't feel like Florida. Friendly, fun and something fun to break up the monotony of life.

My wife Li and I had the best time here. Dawn and Jen were our guides on the horseback tour. The horses were great and the property is beautiful. Christian was our guide on the ziplining tour and it was great. My wife couldn't make the jump but I went and loved it. We're going back in January with our older kids. Over all just a great, pleasant time.

My father and I wanted to do some father and bonding time and he surprised me with this adventure! This was the most fun I’ve had in Ocala and I’ve lived here for years! We had Jen and David as our tour guides for zip lining and they were very caring and attentive to our needs. We had first time zip liners and they walked them through every step. 5 out of 5 for our amazing tour guides. If you’re looking for something fun to do in Ocala, this trip is worth every penny.
