What are your favorites and experiences with these zipline canopy tours? Are you ready for adventure through the treetops??
Unfortunately I do not live anywhere near Georgia but I have always wanted to travel the world. The day I do decide to travel the world I will be sure to check out this place. It seems like something that is in my alley and something that I will enjoy so thank you for this article. I will be sure to share this article with friends too
Hi Aubin, Thanks for checking in! North Georgia has beautiful natural scenery and lots of fun attractions to explore – ziplining is just one of the fun adventures you can experience during your trip. We hope to see you around soon!
Hi Alyce, you do write some great articles I love it, but I’ve never actually ridden the zipline yet. I’m hoping to ride soon after reading this article about all the great North Georgia places for a zipline adventure or course. I like how you explained everything in detail for someone with no experience, thanks for sharing.
Hi Ricky,
I hope you have a great time on your first zipline ride! That first step off of the zipline platform can be a little intimidating, but as soon as you take that step, all the real fun begins! Enjoy!!
This is amazing just would like to be there and imagine the relaxation that nature offers
Hi Ricardo, This is definitely a fun way to experience nature. Somehow, zipline rides offer an exciting way to relax! 🙂
We are taking a roadtrip in June and will spend some time in Georgia. These zipline and canopy tours seem a lot less expensive than I would have guessed. I will look into their location and see if any of them are on our route, because this would be a great way to experience northern GA. They look like great opportunities for sightseeing!
Hi Max, It’s nice that there are multiple zipline options in North Georgia to choose from. The weather should be perfect in June for a scenic zip through the trees! Enjoy!
I really enjoyed reading this article with the different characteristics about the zipplining adventure potrayed in there. I have had the pleasure to experience the ziplining adventure in my country Saint Lucia. It is located in a community called “Dennry” and it is a place where families or individuals can go to enjoy their time there as well.
The last time I went was with my extended familiy who came down from overseas and boiii was it a blast!
I would reccommend ziplining for anyone who is visiting or persons from the country who would like a change of scenery and are adventurous!
Hi Genille, Thanks for sharing. It’s such a fun experience!!
My first ride on a zipline was while traveling in Costa Rica. It was so nice to get up above the canopy and then descend into the shade of the trees while on the zipline. I’ve been hooked on zipline rides ever since!
