Is ziplining safe?

It’s important to be aware of the risks involved in every outdoor adventure, and ziplining is not without its risks.

In addition to highly-trained guides, Wahoo Ziplines also only uses top-of-the-line equipment. You are in good hands!

Will I need to stop myself on the zipline?

Top Rated Zipline Adventure in Tennessee

The Ziplining adventure was great! I have 6 kids that were all first timers and the guides did an awesome job at making them feel confident enough to try tricks on the lines and even go upside down. It was a super fun experience for all as a family!

Ivette R.

AMAZING! If you are in the area, I HIGHLY recommend it. The gear was high quality and clean, not run down or beat up. The office staff were efficient and got us in and out really quick. Our guides were tons of fun, while also being very competent.
