Took my family her while we were vacationing in Salida. This was so much fun. Shavano and Hayden were so much fun. They were very knowledgeable and patient with our entire group. I would definitely recommend this place to anybody interested in zip lining! read more

I've always wanted to try ziplining so when my friends and I went to Denver, CO, we decided it would be worth it to drive 3 hours to Salida, CO to check this business out. Pros: they are very friendly and the pricing is a lot more affordable than most zip lining trips in the US. Cons: they lost my reservation (which almost made me have a heart attack because we already drove 3 hours in to Salida just for this trip), they only have 6 cables so far (not exactly the most thrilling cables for grown-ups either), and they don't let you take any pictures! I would still recommend it if you happen to be in the area and while you're at it, you should check out the rafting trips too! read more

Great staff! Our guides, Cameron and Wade were awesome. Very helpful, fun and easy going. We did the zip line tour, 7 routes and the kids and adults loved it. Highly recommend but looks like they are just straying to get commercialized. You prep in the garage that is several miles from the course, no drinks on site. Not even vending. Portapotty toilet. Their gear seems to be first rate and the course as well. Could spend a bit more on the landing zones. Looking forward to coming back to do the challenge course read more

Awesome experience. We had 14 in our group for the ropes course me zip line course. Shavon and Jason were awesome guides and really bent over backwards to accommodate our large group. Captainzipline is a must if you vacation in Salida. Ask for Shavon and Jason and your experience will be incredible. read more

We zip lined here in July and had an amazing time. It was the first time zip lining for myself and my 9 year old daughter. Our two guides were so much fun and made the experience truly memorable. It was the highlight of our trip for my 9 year old. Thank you Captain Zipline, we'll be back again!! read more

Loved our experience at Captain Zipline! Our guides, Derek and Reya, were a blast and kept us laughing as we zipped through the beautiful canyons. From singing Top Gun soundtrack songs on the way to the zip course, to making the experience safe and fun for everyone in our group...top notch service. This was our first time zip lining, and it was a fantastic afternoon. Will definitely recommend to friends. read more

When we initially weren't able to get proper reception to speak with the manager and he gave us a call back and left a kind message to return his call, we knew right away we had to go with them for our adventure! We got welcomed right away and were given a last minute tour that was made just for us! From the welcoming smiles and proper patient education advising us on how to zipline the safe way, we moved onto our adventure. Everyone was amazing and very friendly. We got a last minute full tour at an amazing price and all with a smile. This place is a must try when in town and a place to look forward to again in our near future! read more

My husband and I had an awesome time testing our wits and skill on the Canyon Ascent! Fun laid back trip. We felt safe and well cared for as we gracefully (we hope) worked our way through an awesome course! Thank you for the great adventure! read more

My family and I booked a zipline tour with this company and had a blast. Preston and Pat were our guides and were fun, knowledgable and super safe. We felt confident and safe the whole time. The course itself was fun. There are 6 ziplines across the canyons and a baby zipline that you get practice on. The scenery is spectacular on 5 out of the 6 ziplines. I would highly recommend this course to others. read more

At the last minute, we decided to end our trip to Salida with a run through the zip lines. We called and Monte was very helpful and got us in within an hour. We had such a great time. Derek and Tony were fabulous guides. They were very professional and hilarious. We are already planning our next trip down and we plan on bringing the kids. Recommend them 100%. read more

Tried zip lining for the fist time and have to say it was pretty awesome. I am not a big fan of heights, but it was not even an issue after that initial bit of terror stepping up to the first line. Totally fun. The guides were great and the setup where all the zip lines are within an easy hike of each other is awesome (no long van rides to deal with). I highly recommend the folks at Captain Zipline if you have never tried zip lining before or are looking to try out a new place. read more

This place is amazing! My 9-year old daughter and I spent the day there doing the aerial course in the morning and zip lining in the afternoon. We couldn't have asked for a better day! The course is challenging, but clearly marked for one to select something that fits their ability. Our guides were great and helped us through the course when we felt "stuck." Expect a workout! This course is unlike anything I have ever seen and is suitable for kiddos (meeting the requirements) and adults. Thrill seekers need to take the time to check this place out! Perfect for families, team building, etc. It's about a three hour drive from Denver and well worth it - for a day trip or a weekend getaway. Zip lining was fantastic! I personally had a little trouble getting started and the owner walked me through it to make sure I was not only safe, but having an awesome time! He is very knowledgeable about the area had some great stories to share with the group. The other guides were caring, cautious and energetic! Felt like time with the family! I highly recommend Captain Zipline to anyone coming into the area. It's well worth making the trip to the area simply to check it out!! read more

Had an amazing time doing the Zipline. The staff was super friendly and the location was beautiful! We had Brooke and Haley as our guides and they were awesome- knowledgeable, nice and fun. read more

We had a great time with Hayden doing the aerial ropes course. He was patient, fun and made it a fun day read more

Had a really fun experience here a few weeks ago and loved it! Knowledgeable guides who make sure you enjoy yourself and give special attention to anyone who may be a bit nervous. It's my opinion that your guide can make or break your experience, so I believe in tipping them nicely when I have a great time. Heads up: if you like your guide, hand him or her directly a separate cash tip! It came to my attention that if you add the tip to your payment for the adventure, the OWNER takes a cut before sharing with his employees! Not cool! read more

Captain Zip-lining is the best. Reya and Hayden were our guides and they were fantastic! They were very informative and fun. Really a great experience. If you are thinking of zip lining, go with Captain Zip line! read more

Great zipline experience. The views are amazing! Our guides were very serious about our safety but still fun and entertaining. They told us about the history of the area and history of the mountains. The van ride was short and comfortable. Our only complaint was that some of the landing areas were not secure. Some were just wooden spools that moved when you landed on them. There was some walking between several lines but it wasn't very far, but should be considered for some potential customers. We would definitely go back. read more

What a great day for myself and my grandchildren. The zip line tour was amazing. I felt safe and the tour guides Free and Derrick were awesome! They were informative and personable. They made sure we did everything to enjoy our experience. Definitely would do it again! read more

We didn't go on any of the zipline a, instead we did the aerial challenge course. Our scouts had a great time. The girls managed to go up to the first blue course ( after 2 yellow and 2 green). It was very different and a lot of fun. They said the maker of the course and safety gear were Swiss, and we had no fear of safety, and it wasn't too uncomfortable. They didn't push anyone past their comfort zone. read more

We had an excellent time at captain zip line on their tour and on their ropes course as well. I've been to captain zipline twice now and have been very pleased. It is a lot of fun and the zipline tour guides make the tour even more fun. The ropes course was terrifying, but a lot of fun at the same time. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a daytime activity close to Salida. read more

Fun "family" adventure but the owner is not a nice person - cool for a good tourist-y thing to do in Salida (if you are down to drop a few hundred), but be wary of giving this guy your business. My best recommendation is just walk in, DON'T pre-book! read more

Captain Zipline is the best!!! We did the Zipline tour and it was awesome! Our tour guides, Wade and Preston, were great. They told jokes, told us fun facts, and they took safety seriously. We would definitely do it again and would recommend it to anyone no matter what the age. read more

There are precisely three ways to describe this place in two words or less: :D, Amazing, or Breathtakingly AWESOME! I have a confession to make that I am a 13 year old boy. Maybe my profile picture gave it away. before you flag me, completely sure of yourself that I am the least credible source on yelp, visit my profile page and add me as a friend if you like what I have written about businesses ever since last year. Now back on to the track of the review. My sister and I went on a group zipline trip over the company's six ziplines, in which the views were almost as breathtaking as the ziplines themselves. Our tour guides, Bob and Nate (Welcome to the zipline company, Nate!) Both of them were awesome at what they did, even though it was Nate's first day on the job. The course was 2,000 feet long, although it felt longer because it A). Was split into six increments B). Jumping off of a cliff really makes time go slower and C). It feels more natural to have three points of reference for things because that's what most people are used to. The trip was at 1:00, and as a note for Bob and Nate, the stuff you did was awesome and that there's no reason to be ashamed that you can catch a rock like a football at 250 feet. For people planning a visit in the future that live in the area, you can wait a few years for the purchase of another plot of land that will allow for another 2,000 Ft. zipline to be installed. I am sure that you will be impressed with them any time. (I think that it would be fun to take a tour during the winter) [Please excuse this interruption for an important message from my sister: "you're taking too long writing this review! All anyone needs to know is that it was fun, the people were nice, and that it would be recommended for people of all ages!"] Well, I guess that that phrase about sums it up pretty well, so I'll be signing off. read more

Had so much fun at Captain Zipline! Monty and Rita did a super job on our last minute adventure on New Year's Eve! Will be back and bring our friends! Captain Zipline rocks the Rockies! read more

Captain Zipline - Ziplining Near Me - Salida, Colorado

We were road tripping back from Iowa and decided to add an extra day so we could ldo the zipline and it was one of the best decisions we made. Randy and Preston were both super nice, great guys. They made the day really fun and had a lot of cool facts about the surrounding area. Definitely worth adding an extra day, I hope i get to drive back this way so I can come back. read more

Were headed home to Texas from Western Colorado and decided to fit in rafting and ziplining for my wife and two college age sons, one who is afraid of heights. Rob and Josh did a great job. They were friendly and made the experience fun for the entire family. The ziplines are fast and they educated us on how to slow down and how to keep our body straight. By the end of the experience my youngest son was jumping off and having so much fun. Was one of the highlights of the trip. We are likely going to go back for the ropes course. Oh, and go eat at Amicas afterward. read more

We were adventure-seeking and this didn't disappoint. We took 6 ziplines through the Arkansas River mountain canyons. This wasn't a leisurely cable ride. It was more athletic and you had to steer yourself to make sure you didn't spin around. If you don't like heights, this may not be for you. Our guides, James and Kiki, were funny, friendly, and professional. Our safety and experience was their priority. When we crossed paths with a rattlesnake, they made sure to get us out of the area before they dealt with the rattler. A ropes course is almost ready, and it looked AWESOME. Wish we were going to be back in the area when it opens! Recommend this for a fun time in the Salida area! read more

This was our first time zip lining. My husband really wanted to do this. I, however am slightly afraid of heights but also wanted to try it. Without a doubt, Josh (muscles) and Deric (skater boy) were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!! From the beginning they cracked jokes and completely lightened the mood all while EMPHASIZING safety. The views were amazing! On line #2, I was actually able to look around and breath because it wasn't as "scary" as I thought it would be... THANK YOU!!!!! Josh and Deric, YOU ROCK :D (I'm not sure of the names but the parentheses descriptions should pinpoint it for you... lol) read more

My kids and I participated in the aerial course and it was AMAZING. Our guide, Deric was friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure all of us had a great time. The course was fun and had different levels of courses for the beginner all the way to a super strong, not-at-all afraid of heights pro. We can't wait to go back for the zip line!!!!! read more

What an AMAZING SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPIALIDOCIOUS adventure! Derrick was a BLAST! As well and the rest of the staff! From the minute we got in the van (it was like a scene out of TOP GUN!) until the time we returned back to our vehicles, it was packed full of entertainment and breathtaking excitement! I can't say enough about this company. They were top notch in customer service! I recommend Captain Zipline to anyone visiting this area! Thanks for the wonderful memories! These Oklahoman's will treasure them always! read more

Great winter time activity! Brooke and Derek were both fantastic tour guides. Will go again soon to try out the aerial park and other activities! read more

Great for first time Zip Liners! I decided to take my family to go zip lining and was so glad i chose this place. The owner was extremely smart having young college kids guide these tour cracking jokes, making sure everyone is safe and truky enjoying the experience, Derek and Nate did an awesome job connecting with their tour. This zip line truly encompasses Colorado's natural beauty where we zip right over the Arkansas river and just zip right between the cliffs (make sure you look down its good for the soul!) Whats even better is this place is open YEAR ROUND! I am definitely going to try and get out there while its sprinkling snow..what a memory it was to zip in the rain on my trip! Highly recommend to any famiky wishing to create a ton of memories and just relax. read more

This was so much fun Hayden & Rae ( so sorry if that is wrong ) but we're so nice and made the trip great! Especially when Hayden came to the rescue and helped an elderly lady, lol lucky she was okay. Still overall best first time zipping ever !! read more

This review is for the Aerial Adventure Park, not the zip line. I have done zip lines in the past and prefer a more self-directed activity - such as the amazingly adventurous Aerial Adventure Park! If you like a challenge, this is for you! I am 57 yrs old, not in the best of shape - but had a blast doing yellow and green (the easier courses) while watching my son and husband go all the way to the black and double black (expert) courses. I understand some people might have a problem if they are not in the best of shape, or struggling with a medical issue. If that is the case, then don't book this activity! You cant get on the management's case (such as a previous review did) when you have a medical issue. The waiver we signed in the office covers all manner of medical issues and makes it clear what you will be doing. If you have any medical issues - you should not sign the waiver and not do the activity (duh!). The great part was there was no wasted time waiting around like some other activities. We signed our waivers, got in the van, and were taught the basics of safety with our harness and the nifty cable/tweezle (sp?) device that keeps you from falling. It also is the device that makes you feel totally safe and okay about walking a tight rope up in the air! We started out on the easiest course (the yellow) and my friend and I were having such a great time we quickly proceeded to the more challenging green course. Derek, out guide was always there checking in with us to make sure we were okay. He entertained us with great music on the boombox, and impromptu dance moves! He has a great attitude, is super friendly and loads of fun. My husband and son proceeded to the more challenging blue and black courses and we were dazzled by their ability to get so far up in the air on such difficult maneuvers. We were able to take home videos and photos while laughing our butts off! The weather was perfect - not too hot. I would not like to do this course on a really really hot day - but that's just me. To recap - if you want to have a great time - do the aerial course - but only if you are healthy and don't have breathing issues or other physical problems. You will have so much fun, it is a bit scary but you always are safe. The feeling of accomplishment you get when you are done is amazing. It is like a huge jungle gym for adults! read more

well I did the best I could, but had to bail after the second zipline. scared s*itless would be an understatement. the kids rocked it, tho!! big GIANT SHOUT OUT TO NATE!!!! I'm so sorry I didn't tip you guys ! I didn't know I was supposed to. you & kim were very hospitable, informative and patient. thanks for all the expertise and fun read more

Megan and Claire were great! Funny and sweet girls knew what they were doing and took safety very seriously! Had so much fun despite the weather would do again if ever I Colorado. read more

This was a REAL blast!! My son and I had a GREAT time with Erin and Kiki - easy and tons of fun! They were great with me and I was scared at first! WONDERFUL!!! read more

Our zipline expierence was incredible! We had 14 people ranging from ag 7 - 50 and we all loved it! I was nerous at first but after the first line, all my fears went away. Our guides, Derrick and David were awesome! Knowledgable, funny and a great pair! Fed off of each other really well, we all had a great time! Thanks!!! read more

We decided to try out a zip line this past weekend while attending the Southwest FJR Owners rally held in Salida this year (and next year I hope). We found Captain Zipline and made the reservation. We did the 9:00am session and it was AWESOME...the facility, the views...the guides...everyone was top notch. The folks at Captain Zipline are a great bunch, always watching out for your safety while still maintaining an absolutely thrilling time. You should not pass this one up for an adrenaline rush in the air...give them a try!!! You won't be sorry!! read more

my family and I hit the zip line tour yesterday and had a blast. The tour guides, James and Josh were a lot of fun and made the experience much more enjoyable. We will come back again once they have completed their new features and add some bigger, faster zip lines. Thanks again guys! read more
