An outstanding outfitter here at Soaring Colorado. So many zips, so many upside down tricks to be done on the wires, so many rivers to cross. Our Sky Rangers were outstanding, knowledgable, funny, tricky and skilled to make us feel ultra safe. Lunch was anazing and just as beautiful as could be arranged by the lovely chef. I'll let you be surprised. Huge thanks to the men of the trees, Kevin, Devin, and Haylon for making us laugh and have a great time! read more

From the moment we got off the train we could not have been happier! The entire staff is amazing! The experience is incredible! We enjoyed a morning of zipping, stopped for a provided delicious sweet treat and water, then continued zipping until the gourmet lunch! Then we zipped until the end of the day and had to climb aboard the train to return home. The guides made sure we all understood the safety aspects and how to do each line. The naturalist (Celia) really taught us all things about our environment but made it fun! GO HERE!!!! read more

Best activity in Durango. Five star staff, facility, food and entire day. We can't say enough GREAT things about our day with Soarin'!! Don't take the train to Silverton. Stop here and enjoy your day instead of the long boring trip to Silverton. You see all the best things from the train before getting off and enjoying a beautiful day in Tall Timbers zip lining through trees, over the river and having a gourmet lunch on the shores of the Animas River! Have FUN with the entire family!! BEST thing to do in Durango, even though it is out of Durango!! read more

A once in a lifetime adventure! 27 fantastic zips surrounded by breathtaking scenery, many set up around and across the Animas River. The scenic train ride to this isolated location was a great start. Upon arrival, staff were super friendly, gracious, very well trained and efficient at their work. Lunch and snack provided were beyond delicious. A truly wonderful and memorable experience! read more

What a fun day. Started with a 40 mins train ride open cart into the zip line location. The train is slow and right next to the cliff with view of the mountain and the San Juan river right below. There are 27 zip lines from easier ones to higher and faster ones. Including the last one of 1400ft long going through the forest and over the over. The zip lines are build in an eco tree hugging way so there's no penetration into the tree. So there's no damage to the tree but still can hold a huge amount of weight. The zip line is very safe. You see are range from young kids to 70+ elder. In the end everyone is competing their tricks. The staffs are super friendly and make the experience very memorable. read more

Awesome from start to finish and worth every penny! I highly recommend this to people of all ages. I originally booked in late May but had to cancel because I hurt my hand. They assured me I could reschedule any time or transfer it to someone. And I received a follow up call/email asking about my hand. From the time I arrived at Rockwood Station throughout the whole day, each staff member was great. Each was professional, put me at ease, informative, polite, and fun. The surroundings are beautiful and even more so if you go during the fall foliage. Aspen Alley is stunning, and was my favorite. Also, the chef catered to everyone's needs and was very attentive. The food was very good. And I appreciated a modified version of the veggie option. Would be willing to go again if friends visit and are up for it. Just do it. You'll be really glad you did. read more

Soaring is a First Class adventure! Forever memories for our family. All Soaring staff was professional, personable, and well trained. All equipment was modern and maintained Safety was their priority. The day was filled with excitement, great food, and scenic views. This was our first Zipline experience, and was an unbelievably awesome day of fun and thrills. Definitely worth the money! Thanks Soaring! Jackie June, 2023 read more

Feeling welcome by all the staff continually from start to finish was exceptional. If I was a boss I'd employ them all. It was my first time to zip line and at no time did I feel unsafe or unsupervised. The course took you through the beautiful forests and over the river. I loved that you didn't have to wear a helmet or worry about braking and the freedom to do some silly tricks and have a laugh at each other. Lunch was included at a lovely spot by the river, inspired by Lord of The Rings apparently. Again the staff made sure we were well fed and served beyond expectation. The food had a bit more sugar in everything than I'd have liked but probably suitable for the American diet in general. A good selection and tasty. We were given our own stainless steel water bottles to use and as a keepsake. I'll be using it for a long time with such great memories attached. During the day the staff also shared on the local ecology. Their knowledge on the plants, trees and animals was informative. I actually learnt a few things Our time was finished off with the largest zip line with the best views. A great Experience and a day with delightful people who made extraordinary efforts to accommodate you in such a personal way. I wish all the staff the best in their futures. Sky's the limit. read more

One of the best family excursions you can have. Ever. Seriously. Don't think of this as just a zip line tour and compare against other zip line courses that you may have been on that were a couple of hours long. This is much more of a destination experience. Some of you will hesitate due to the price. So to answer your question, "yes", it really is well worth it: - It's a very unique experience, in a secluded area of the San Juan National Forest, with 27 zip lines, several of which span the Animas river. - The whole experience lasts the better part of a day (5.5 hours), counting the train ride in and out. - The staff is truly exceptional: Smart, funny, polite, gracious, informative, enthusiastic, and safe. - Lunch (included) is excellent, made from scratch by their on-site chefs and kitchen staff. This is our second time to go. They don't disappoint. read more

From a family coming to Durango from Texas, this adventure was extraordinary! All the staff was super welcoming, funny, polite, easy to get along with, and made sure you felt safe all the time. The food was absolutely delicious, it hit the spot after zip lining for a few hours. The zip lines were super fun and got the adrenaline going. We will definitely come back to Soaring! read more

I have never been so pleased to give 5 stars. This company is phenomenal. We were told that although the day trip is expensive, it would be worth it because it is such an experience. This could not be more true. The first contact I had with the staff was, "You must be Amanda, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" From then on it seemed every single staff member wished me a happy birthday, making my day seem so special. The train ride was beautiful. We were able to stand on the balcony, which other carts not with the Soaring company are unable to do. Ziplining was an unforgettable experience. I was T-E-R-R-I-F-I-E-D at the first line. But the staff made me feel safe. Also they ease you into each run, starting off with the short, slower ones first. There is an ecologist who accompanies you through the day, teaching about the wilderness and giving tons of interesting stories and facts. Lunch was amazing! A chef prepares a meal of your choosing, along with freshly made drinks and snacks. I cannot explain all the ways that Soaring Tree Top Adventures made my 26th birthday the very best, but I will leave you with this: BOOK THIS TRIP. You will not regret it! read more

My family and I had Soaring Tree Top Adventures as the cornerstone event of our vacation ... and we enjoyed it tremendously! Because of the 416 fire, the train was not running. Instead, we rode open-air mini-cars on the rail down to the resort/property. The staff is tremendous and did a great job from start to finish. The zipline course is spectacular with many breathtaking views. You also get to learn some very interesting bits of info about the resort, the area, and the forest. It's safe, it's fun, and it's a great way to make memories. read more

Train ride in a private VIP car. Jessie and Chase were our guides to the Soaring Tree Top Community. All the staff Nick, Kevin and Sarina. (Please let me know her name so I can correct it.) we're amazing and very attentive. They were so positive in everything they said and jobs they performed. I hate heights. Therefore, it was a great idea my wife booked the trip. I was told to trust the process. Everything was explained in detail. The equipment is the highest of quality. We got snacks before lunch. Lunch was amazing! Several options available. Chef walked by every table assuring we were satisfied. I couldn't of been more blown away by the safety taken to make me feel comfortable. I couldn't let my 7 year old daughter see I was a scaredy-cat! The views from the tree tops were breath taking. Please understand you get what you pay for. It was money well spent. The smiles and memories were worth it. read more

I would put this on the bucket list. This is a family owned business for generations. The staff are amazing and make everyone feel at home in the tree tops. The 5 star chef Jamie is the best and make sure you try here world famous PB&J sandwich for lunch. read more

My wife and I enjoyed an adventure at Soaring Tree today and could not have enjoyed it more. The owners stress safety, and the staff help first timers feel at ease. From the time we got to the train and met Beth, we were impressed with the young people guiding us. The train ride is a must do. Zipping was well done, and fun. The meal at lunch was average but the company made up for it! read more

I was there with my family at the beginning of August. We were there celebrating my mother's 60th birthday. I had to write to say what an amazing experience we all had. From my 67 year old father to my 4 year old nephew - we all absolutely LOVED it! The atmosphere, the service, the food, the entire experience was just wonderful! Oh my God, the food....amazing! We are all vegetarian, and it was great to see they weren't just providing us with your typical box lunch of PB&J. I've even been to a place where they had a ham and cheese sandwich, and I was asked to just remove the ham! They actually had a selection for us to choose from! The hummus and the pineapple sandwiches were both delicious! As well as the chilled berry soup, and the homemade ice cream sandwiches. I personally broke my diet for that one, and it was well worth it! :) During one of our breaks we were given some delicious cranberry bars. We all were talking about the bars, and how good they were through out the trip! :) We are already making plans for our next trip out to Soaring Tree Top Adventures! read more

We loved everything about this day. The train ride alongside the Animas River was dramatically beautiful. The welcome by the staff, all of whom are so much fun and so supportive was delightful. The zip lining was fabulous and for one who never did it before, a thrill. And the lunch was wonderful in a beautiful shady spot. A special word for Jaime who retrieved my visor when it flew off my head and returned it to me-- thank you so much for a wonderful time!! read more

Amazing!!! Such great people! So friendly! Fun for the entire family!!! Best zip line we have ever done!We loved it and can't wait to get back! read more

We travel every year on vacation and try to find adventurous activities. Where do I start?? One of our most EPIC days ever!!! The staff makes you feel welcome and comfortable and most importantly; safe. The 27 zip lines are is in the most beautiful scenery possible and you get to cross the Animas river a bunch. The gourmet lunch was so tasty and what a beautiful view! We will be back soon to enjoy this adventure again. We are so thankful to the AMAZING staff who helped make one of the most memorable days ever!! read more

I cannot say enough about our experience at soaring tree tops!! From the steam engine train ride to the spectacular scenery you won't be disappointed. The zip lining was exhilarating... But the best part was the way the guest were treated from start to finish. I have never encountered a better group of young men and women! The respectful way they conducted themselves and others was remarkable! They made each one of us feel special and memorized all our names! My husband was terrified to begin with but soon enough he was smiling and excited to be soaring! Book it now... You won't be disappointed read more

This is the Disney of Ziplines! The staff was amazing and personable - they remembered our names! The zip lines were better than what we have experienced in Hawaii with enough excitement to satisfy the most adventurous, but extremely safe making the most timid feel comfortable. The food they served was top notch and we were sad to say goodbye. Did I mention you can only arrive by steam train via narrow gage rail from Durango that offered 1st class accommodations read more

Totally worth the price tag- VIP experience all around, from private railcars to great treetop lunch spot. Gotta do it if you can!

Outstanding experience for a family of first time zip liners! The views were incredible over the Animas River and through the San Juan National Forest. The Sky Rangers made the experience even better with their fun and happy personalities. They made even our most nervous rider feel at ease. Would definitely do this trip again! read more

Six stars if I could post six. Top notch staff - engaged, works to personalize the visit, patient, accommodating. Everything that could improve the adventure has been thought of and implemented (think: umbrellas stashed for a walk back to the train; strawberries in the ice cold water). My family and I view this place/experience as the "we need not go zip-lining anywhere else in the world as the value cannot top Soaring." Worth every dime. As for the sixth star, when it turned out that the price had dropped since our very long in-advance reservations, Soaring refunded the difference. I would never have known. Top shelf stuff. So go, already! read more

Had an absolutely wonderful time! The best zip line I've ever done! The staff were beyond amazing, took the time to introduce themselves and remember your name as you zipped from line to line. The food was also incredible! I was expecting a simple ham and cheese sandwich but the menu options were vast and the food was amazingly good! I loved how staff also took the time to teach about the trees and the forest as you go through the trip. I have zip lined across the country but this BY FAR was the BEST zip lining experience I have ever had! read more

Best day ever!!!!!!!! I don't think I have enough amazing words to describe this day. Starting with the train trip to the tree top adventure which is so fun! Perfect for families. You can bring all your stuff you carry around lol, backpacks, snacks, etc..... they sell snacks on the train too but have no problem with you carrying your own. You ride 2 hours and then arrive at the zipline. The staff greets you, you fill out some paperwork, choose your lunch menu ( chef is amazing, and super personable and shares recipes) then get fitted for your harnass and it's fun time. For those of you (including myself) who are not a fan of heights but so love adventure have no fear!!! They say it takes about 4-5 zip lines until you feel comfortable and they are so right. I was hugging those trees then suddenly lost all fear of heights and just couldn't get enough. The staff is absolutely amazing. Safety first always combined with genuine , friendly, funny rangers. It's obvious the employees love their jobs and each other. The length of the zip lines changes and you get to cross the river 10 times! There is a switchback line and a line where you race someone. Wear a collar shirt so the harnass doesn't rub, wear sunscreen and bug spray. They supply bug spray at many of the platforms because unfortunately the mosquitoes this time of year are bad in the Forrest. You get a snack and water break. Don't want to spoil the surprise but even that was fantastic! You zipline some more, stop for a fantastic 4 course meal in the trees and back to the fun. The staff is the most efficient I've seen anywhere including how they handled lunch. They have a gift shop with great t shirts etc... the train picks you up at 3:34 and back to Durango you go. The train has open air and outdoor platforms if you want some amazing pics or a comfy first class car for a nap on the way back. Plan this into your trip. We will be back! Best zipline course anywhere!!!!! And I can't wait to ride the train again! read more

We had the most amazing time! My family of four (7 and 9 year old) had such an incredible day and made memories of a lifetime. We were hesitant to spend the money on this trip but am so happy we did- it was worth every penny and then some. All of the staff were beyond exceptional but Britt made our two girls feel so comfortable- so much so that they ditched us at lunch to eat with her- they absolutely loved her and haven't stopped talking about her since the trip a few days ago! The food was also delicious- with many food restrictions of my own, they customized everything for me with zero hesitations. We are already talking about the doing this again next time we visit Durango. If the money is holding you back, do what you can to make it work. You will not be disappointed! read more

We had a blast! All the staff was super friendly and welcoming. Zip lining was fun with beautiful views. The staff was accommodating when it rained or someone needed help up the trails. The train ride was a plus! read more

What an amazing day! If you are thinking about booking a trip, stop thinking and just book it! The day starts with an awesome train ride and seats in the best train car. The views are spectacular as the sun peeks through the mountains. Once you get to Soaring Tree Top Adventures the knowledgeable and fun staff take care of the rest. Lunch was delicious and the service was spectacular as we ate out under beautiful trees. I felt safe 100% of the time and can't wait to do it again! read more

One of the most fun and exciting things you can do. Soaring Tree Top Adventures is an outstanding thing to do when you need some excitement and a change in your life. Think a zip line x 32. The first thing you do is take a train ride from downtown Durango, CO to Soaring Tree Top Adventures. The scenery on the way is beautiful. Once you arrive, you are met by the friendly staff who fit you with your personal harness for the day. After some training, you get to the fun and initially scary treat of zip lining. In all, you will glide across thirty-two different zip lines. Some over a river. The longest of them being a 1,400 foot beast. If you are looking for excitement in a very safe manner, Soaring Tree Top Adventures is the place. read more

This is a great day trip with friends or family. It is an expensive adventure but they make sure you get your money's worth. Unforgettable!

Came to Soaring as a surprise on the train trip from Durango. I was expecting a train ride and not really mentally prepared to come zip-lining. If you've never been zip-lining before, you'll be in good hands with the staff. They are professional and upbeat. Safety is a top priority. There is also a lot of ecology education that is discussed in between individual lines. Pretty much all of the staff remembers your name (which is impressive considering how many people are in the groups). The lunch is great and quite filling. Also, a lot to choose from. Special thanks to the two Nicki's, Phil, Louise, and Jimmy for all your interaction and education. I would recommend this if you ever want to go zip-lining read more

My husband and I had a great time on the zipline course. We appreciated the ability of the staff to work with some not so fit people (us!). The food was great and eating under the trees and by the Animas river was beautiful. The train ride to and from just made it all the better. Not much hiking before lunch, but a bit after. There are 27 runs to make a full day of it! read more

Wow! This was our third trip to Soaring Tree Top Adventures, and each time we return with more people. This time we had three generations of family, and we all had such a blast! This place is first-class all the way: phenomenal customer service, amazing location, and the snacks/lunch are DELISH! The mountain, the trees, the river, the views all take my breath away - even after the third time. How the Sky Rangers manage to remember all of our names both baffles and impresses me - and they are all so witty and just a pleasure to be with all day. By the time we leave, it feels like we're all just old friends! We felt safe, we felt important, and we had a GREAT time!!! Looking forward to the next time! read more

This was an absolute blast. My husband and I came to Durango just for this. The private car train ride up was a great prelude to the awesome day ahead of us. When we arrived, the entire staff greeted us with a warm welcome. It was just us. The feeling of seclusion and priority is really evident. My husband called it the "Jurassic Park of zip line tours". The lunch provided was 5 star dining quality and the area where you eat is so much fun. We both loved how the entire staff got to know your name and used it, making it a very personal experience. It was just an absolute blast. If I had one minor complaint, it would be that they were short one of the pre-lunch snacks so we had to split the last one. But, it was delicious and they more than made up for it with giving us the recipe! The train ride back was a nice change of pace and the way the 5+ staff operates between the trees with you, there is never much of a wait as your party advances through the course. We loved it. What are you waiting for? Go do this! read more

There are few things you can do that are as cool as this. The train ride in their super comfortable separate car was infinitely better than the school bus seats the regular D&SNGRR riders get. Overall the service and hospitality was first rate, the entire staff was well versed in their tasks, and everyone appears to love their job. They were also very adept at remembering everyone's name. I've had my share of adventures and I can say this is right up there with the best of them. If standing on a platform in a swaying tree 100 feet above the ground and flying through the forest and over the river 27 times, with the final 1400 foot ride lasting a minute at 30+ mph, is your thing then this is hard to beat. Most times you're 2-5 stories up, others you're just a few feet off the ground or water. Never boring. You can fly upside down or spin and bounce on most runs, whatever suits you. Lunch on the platform overlooking the river was as pleasing aesthetically as it was delicious. Simple but excellent meal, followed by the best soaring of the day. What a blast! Worth the price. Just don't touch the green button... read more

Absolutely wonderful! A family experience we will treasure. The zip lines are incredible, but the staff make it an experience!!!

One of my favorite things I have ever done. A thunderstorm barely interrupted our day. The staff love what they do. Fun, fun, fun.
