Greatest Family Adventure! We came up to the area to honor and celebrate a family member's life. In the process, our family decided to try out the Bear Mountain Ziplines. This became the highlight of our trip. The staff made everyone feel safe with their great instruction, professionalism, and patience with us first-timers. We soared over the tree tops, screaming, cheering and laughing all the way through. The views were incredible, and the course was well maintained. We all loved it. It was the perfect mix of adrenaline and family bonding. I would love to give this 100 stars and highly recommend it to anyone who is in the area, or even to make the trek just to come here, you will not be disappointed. read more

A fantastic small-business gem! The zip lining experience was both thrilling and welcoming. They prioritized safety without sacrificing fun, making even first-timers feel comfortable. The views were amazing, and the personal attention really set this apart. My husband and I came to Luray for a quiet weekend away. Katie and Jacob were our treetop guides. To say they were the best would be an understatement. Both of them were well versed in zip lining and made the experience so much fun. It was hard to be uncomfortable for long with them at the helm. Almost polar opposites - Katie was a burst of energy with an infection personality and Jacob was laid back, calming presence with an unexpected jokes that would catch you off guard. The pair made the zip lining experience that much more memorable. Highly recommended if you want a little thrill in the Luray area. If you are going in the summer, I would definitely take the earlier time slots - it gets hot up there. read more

As I exit Bear Mountain Zipline popsicle in hand I notice the faces of my friends, smiling ear to ear. One tells me about his mastery of the upside down turn, one tells me about facing his fear of heights (it's not that high) and the others argue over who went fastest. The zipline experience is fantastic. Cassie and Anna were amazing. So much positive energy and encouragement, they somehow made everyone feel special even in our large group. The area is gorgeous, zip lining through the trees, we didn't get hit with too many bugs (I did douce myself with bug spray prior to attending). I felt totally safe. The equipment looked new, felt very strong and durable. The course is very well maintained. Good for all ages. And yes they really did give us popsicles! read more

I enjoyed ziplining. It was my first time. I was a little nervous at first, but then I felt comfortable as I was going through the course. The staff members were great with guiding me through the whole process. It cost 75 for general admission and 70 for military. I would try ziplining again. read more

My mom and I came out for the zipline tour and were so happy with our experience. The zipline themselves were fun, well maintained and beautiful, and our guides were AMAZING!! They made the tour even better and were so kind, personable and funny, we loved spending some of our afternoon here and would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking to zipline! read more

Awesome zip lining experience! Cassie and Michael were terrific guides - super fun and encouraging for my 10 year old daughter and 9 year old nephew, who had a blast, as did I. And the little guys (5) had a great time on the ropes course. Would highly recommend as a great activity for families visiting the Luray area. read more

I had an absolute blast on the ziplines at Bear Mountain (Adventure in the Great Shenandoah Valley)! My friend and I chose the Mana Bear Canopy Tour. This provided an exhilarating experience for frequent zip-liners and first-timers alike! The Mama Bear Canopy tour features 7 lines, which increase in length and speed as you progress in the course, and build up to a very long and faster final line! This set-up is especially great for folks like me, who were a bit nervous at the beginning of the course. Pros: Reasonable Price: The price for the canopy tour is $75 per person, which definitely feels reasonable, given the instruction and attention that you receive on this tour. Tours are offered throughout the day and range in time depending on the size of the group-- My group had 8 people in it, and I think the whole experience was about 90 minutes long, which felt like a good amount of time to me. Amazing Tour guides: The tour guides could not be any funnier, sweeter, or more helpful. Katie and Savannah led my tour, and ensured that everyone fully understood the proper form and basic movements to zipline safely. Small Group Sizes: My group size of 8 was just perfect-- it included a whole variety of folks, from people who had zip-lined before, to first timers. There were a couple of teenagers, a mom and daughter, an older married couple, and also what seemed like a first date. Overall, this makes for a great experience regardless of age or specific situation! Safety Precautions taken: I felt very safe on the ziplines. The instructors make sure that you are using the equipment correctly. You are weighed before going on the ziplines to ensure that you meet the weight requirements, as well. Beautiful Views and location: Overall, you really experience some beautiful views on this zipline course. I went in fall, and was not disappointed. This course is located in Luray, Virginia, and is nestled in the Shenandoah Valley. I believe that from DC, it took about 2:30 hours to drive here. Tips: - Service: There is really no signal in this area-- I had no service here. This didn't present an issue for me, in fact I preferred to disconnect here, but just be aware in case you need to connect for whatever reason! - Phone/ Pockets: I brought my phone as I zip-lined, to take pictures. You will need a very secure pocket in your clothes in order to keep your phone in, if you plan to bring it. You can't take pictures while you are actually on the lines, because both of your hands will be engaged and holding onto things as you zip. However, you can take pictures between lines, in the waiting areas. If you are going to be going on the course with a friend, you can take pictures of them while they zipline, because everyone does each line one-at a time. - Be on time: If you are late, you might hold the rest of the group up, and eventually they will probably have to kick off the tour without you. My tour started pretty promptly! If you are going to be even 5 late, I would definitely call the # to let them know. Other: It was really fun to ride up the mountain to the course starting point in bumpy flat bed dragged by tractor Cons: None to report! This was an incredible experience :)! Zero complaints, I would definitely go again! read more

Cassie and Anna are awesome. They made the experience fun. I highly recommend these Ziplines.

Cassie & Oriah are awesome guides! Super patient and very knowledgeable in the zip lines! It was our first zip lining excursion together and would absolutely recommend this spot to anyone! Thank yu guys read more

Price was great for the experience and well knowledgable guides. Funny and made experience better. We had kids from 4-9 and then adults as well. If you're in the area, go. If your at yogi park it's a must. Right next door and trail leases there. read more

Would highly recommend if in the Luray area. The whole staff was amazing and very helpful throughout the ziplining experience. Definitely worth the cost and would do it again. read more

Katie and Brandon were amazing. We had two 9-yr olds in our party of five who had never been zip lining. Our guides were motivating and eased our nerves ensuring we made it across. So glad my first experience zip lining along with the little ones was here! Thank you. read more

Fabulous time. There are manual brakes which caused my daughter some angst until she got use to it. There were two guides to help the group. Groups are small in size. Don't forget to tip. read more

Andrew and Brayden are the greatest guides! It was my husbands first time and they made everyone feel comfortable. Gorgeous views, safety A+, cleanliness A+. 10 out of 10 will go back! Thank you Bear Mountain for a great day! read more

Went zip lining with my son (15), mother and aunt (both 70). We ALL had a BLAST! Our guides were Kate and Jake - both were great. We felt safe at all times, and it was so much fun. Definitely worth the price of admission - plus tip! read more

For my first experience ziplining, I don't think I could have had a better one. I am extremely unenthusiastic about heights, but I decided to conquer my fears and brave the treetops. I was definitely not disappointed! You are transported to the top of the mountain via tractor pull. The first zipline was a training zipline, and then six others led back down the mountain. The ziplines wove through the trees and some were long enough that you couldn't even see the platform ahead or behind. It was beautiful in the trees, even though they weren't clad in leaves. I'm sure it would have been absolutely gorgeous in the summer or fall (and definitely less cold!), but I loved being able to stand in the trees at the same level as the birds. I was really impressed with the friendliness of the owner and the zipline guides. All were knowledgeable and made me feel safe, even as I clung to the tree so I could stay away from the platform edges. The rock wall that backs the very last zipline platform was also cool and new (and didn't seem overly difficult, though I sat out and took pictures). However, I think that the main attraction is definitely the former. read more

Cassandra and Amber were the best, this is my third time zip lining but Bear Mountain is definitely my favorite!

Kate and Brandon did an amazing job with instructions and kept things exciting! Moved us right along and we had an absolute blast - thank you! read more

We had a great time on the zip lines. They start you off easy and build from there. My son said, "It was scary and fun at the same time!"

First timers here! The experience was absolutely amazing!! Katy and Anna was wonderful!! So friendly, guiding us, training us how to make the most of your experience! We will definitely be back! We had a blast!!! read more

Great experience. Amazing people. The staff was so friendly and helpful which made the experience even better. Such a fun place for adults and children! Highly recommend for anyone looking to do something fun. Worth every penny! read more

My husband and I had a great time here! We never ziplined before but Katie and Justice were the best guides ever!! They helped us gear up and on the platforms, they gave very easy to follow instructions. From the moment we met them, they were so nice and we felt like they were our old friends. They were funny and made us feel at ease. The course consisted of 7 ziplines (if I remember correctly) and they started short and then increased in length as you went. The woods were shaded and peaceful. The last zipline was around 900 feet starting in the woods and emerging into a meadow, crossing the meadow to the platform with speeds around 35 miles per hour. It was very exhilarating to ride the lines. Thank you again Justice and Katie for such a wonderful day!! We will definitely come back to see you guys if we are in the area! read more

The course is designed to start you off slow and build your confidence. The guides, Justice and Andrew, did a great job of instructing and ensuring our safety throughout the entire trip. We showed up a little nervous but ended the day with a great memory. Definitely a fun time! read more

These guys are fun and professional. They definitely make sure you are safe and comfortable on the lines. They made sure we had a good time, and to be fair, we really did. I will say that the course feels a little short for the price. There are 7 zip-lines, yes - but one of them is a short practice line so I don't think that really counts. The final zip line is amazing and really really fast. You come down out of the trees, across a field, and land on the final platform. I wish all the lines were like that one! read more

What an amazing adventure! The guides are super friendly and accommodating. The course is exhilarating!Great customer service! Do yourself a favor and book the one hour zip line tour. Worth a detour!! read more

I had a great time both rock climbing & zip lining all of their routes. The family that runs the lines & wall are super nice and are very accommodating. The rock wall is challenging given that only two people in my 7 person group were able to make it to the top, and the zip lines are even more exciting! The last one zips you up to 35mph! read more

We had a fantastic time! My stepdad and I did the Mama Bear zipline and they're really good at instructing you on how to break and even have a baby practice zipline before the real thing. The high ropes course was really cool too. I was able to help my little sister through it and she was able to zipline past the obstacles she couldn't figure out. We finished our trip with the rock wall, and that went really well too! My little sister was a little too short to reach the rocks on the rock wall, but at least she tried! read more

My sisters and I did a tour with our guides being Katie and Brandon. They were awesome! It was my oldest sister's first time zip lining and they were very patient and reassuring all around. I would highly recommend this place. I would definitely come back and would hope to have the same guides again. Non stop laughing all around! :) read more

On our last day visiting Luray, Virginia we called and made a reservation for later that day. My husband and teenage step-daughter did the Mama Bear zip line for $75.00 each. My seven year old daughter and I did the Baby Bear high ropes course with two small zip lines for $20.00 each. My daughter also did the rock climbing wall for $15.00. My daughter loved both. The owners were very nice. They even let my daughter do everything again for free when another girl came. They told her she could be a guide. I gave four stars just because I think the prices are expensive. We were on vacation, so we paid it, but I don't know if we would do it again. read more

This was our first zip line adventure and we had a BLAST!! Our guides, Austin and Shannon, were so patient and accommodating. The family that greeted us upon our arrival is so nice!

Wonderful first time experience. Exciting and staff made sure we were safe. Recommend 100% !! Would do again in a heartbeat.
