Zipline Loved by families & first-timers
Flash and Bucky were so sweet, friendly, and knowledgeable. They made sure that we were so safe the entire time.
My 9-year-old almost quit, but Gracie encouraged him to try it — and now he wants to go again! What a rush.
Gorgeous forested mountain views. Just enough time on the course to feel like there’s a lot of value for the price.
Jackson and Kiley were very knowledgeable, friendly and FUNNY! I highly recommend taking this zip line tour.
Hunter and Tyler were the best guides! They were always prioritizing our safety and made us feel at ease.
I loved it! Had a blast! Will be back! Great job, great company!
An easy half-day trip from Blue Ridge, GA

Ocoee Zipline FAQs
How long is the Ocoee zipline & canopy tour?
Plan on 2 to 2.5 hours from gear-up to the final dual racer, covering all 8 zip lines and 3 sky bridges. Get here about 30 minutes early to check in. Exact times are confirmed when you book.
Is the zipline safe, and do I need experience?
No experience needed. Every guest gets a full harness and helmet, a safety briefing, and stays connected to the line on a dual-clip system the whole way. Your guides handle every transfer. Most of the people on any given tour are first-timers.
Are there age or weight requirements?
Riders must be between 50 and 250 pounds and fit into a men's size 42 waist band — that's set by the harness, not by us. You also need to be free of physical limitations, not pregnant, and not under the influence. See our full requirements page for the details.
What should I wear and bring?
Closed-toe shoes (sneakers or hiking shoes), clothes you can move in, and long hair tied back. Bring sunscreen and water. Leave anything loose in the car; we provide all the zip line gear.
How much does the Ocoee zipline cost?
The zipline canopy tour starts from $60 per person, and you save 10% when you bundle it with an Ocoee River rafting trip. See our pricing page for current rates and combo deals.
Can I do the zipline and go whitewater rafting on the same day?
Yes, and it's the most popular way to do it. We run zip + raft combos on the Middle, Upper, and Full Ocoee with RaftOne, and the combo saves you 10% versus booking each on its own.
Is ziplining safe for kids?
Kids do great here, as long as they make the weight minimum: every rider has to be at least 50 lbs, which rules out most children under about six. Above that line, they get a properly fitted harness and helmet, and the guides handle all of the clipping from the first platform to the last.
What's the difference between a zipline and a canopy tour?
A single zipline is one ride: clip in, fly one cable, done. A canopy tour is a guided course through the trees. Ours links 8 zip lines and 3 sky bridges platform to platform through the Cherokee National Forest, with guides leading the group the whole way.
Ready to get in the trees?
Book the canopy tour, or pair it with rafting and save 10%. Summer weekends go fast.
