For a unique and memorable employee party, we decided to take our great staff, 18 strong, up to visit Casey, and his crew up at ZiplineX for a day of zip lining and for those that dare, bungee jumping. After arriving the beautiful wooded site, we were divided up into 2 groups of 9, for the first phase of our day, the 8 station zipline course. Each group was fitted with safety gear, double safety checked by their groups 2 guides, then put through a fun and informative ziplining 101 before heading off on the 2 plus hour zipline adventure. Right out of the gate it was obvious that our guides were gonna be super fun, very professional, and that they love what they do. The well though out zip course starts out with a small climb to a low, railing wrapped platform, then a short zip, and a low short rope bridge walk. Definitely a kind of a warm up before progressing to higher, faster, longer and more exposed challenges ahead. Throughout the course, we laughed, we screamed, and had an absolute blast for the entire 2 hours with our awesome guides Matt and Dominic, as did our other group, swinging through the trees with Mackenzie and John, just behind us. The two final zip lines, perhaps the most exciting, and definitely the most beautiful, take you over the bungee bridge and deep river canyon directly below. With the last zip, we finished up the aerial tour landing on terra firma at a beautiful picnic site in the woods with picnic tables, a covered area, and a big barbecue that Casey so nicely provides for guests. Without knowing, Casey had pre-arranged to have the coals lite and ready to go for us so that we could zip right in, then dive right into, excuse the puns, our company BBQ. How nice was that? With the coals going, brats on the grill, a cooler filled with cold drinks and so much more, those that wished to take the plunge and toss themselves off the 20 story bridge, walked onto the bridge, just next the BBQ area, signed up, weighed in, and got prepared to take the big plunge. For everyone but myself, this was the first time they had ever bungeed, so as you can only imagine the bridge was buzzing. One by one twelve of us who decided to take the jump, were individually coached jumping procedure, and connecting the tether for a lift back up to the bridge. Between the designed in redundant safety systems, the super thorough double safety check of all the hardware and connections, then the reassuring words from Casey and his staff, everyone who was about to make the jump, felt at ease, that is, as at ease as you could feel, minutes tossing yourself off a perfectly good bridge into a 200’ ravine below. Whats so amazing is that everyone who jumped, not only jumped once, after being winched back up, jumped a second time. A really cool thing that they do, is that if you jump twice, you become a member of the “dangerous sports club” and with that you get a sweet t-shirt, a membership card and a big discount on future jumps, and the next time you jump, you get to opt for a running dive off the opposite side that the bungee is attached, which as a return jumper, I got to do. I will definitely say, its definitely worth coming back for. :) For some the course was a big challenge and push in overcoming their fears, for others not as much, but for all it was and incredible day of fun, in an amazingly beautiful setting. What made it even better, is that we got to hang out with Casey and the stellar staff that he has assembled. As the owner of a business that greatly appreciates and values our staff, and how they, can make of break your our customers experience, I commend Casey, and his staff for making our groups experience truly amazing, and something we will all remember for a lifetime!!! Thanks again Casey, Mackenzie, Matt, Dominic, John, and Nathan for the awesome day!!! You guys, and gal, ROCK!!!

We had a great experience with the ZiplineX tours. The staff was very professional and were able to calm my wife down. She was too nervous at first but the staff had a way of making you feel safe, and after that we realized our fears were just that... fears! After the first zip we were hooked! I had no idea how fun zip lining could be! Thanks for being a part of great life long memory!! Thumbs up!

This was AMAZING! I live over in Oregon but it wasnt that long of a drive at all to where it is in Washington. But even though it wasnt that long of a drive I really felt like we were surrounded by nature, in the trees! It was such a cool experience to be zooming through the treetops! I would definitely recommend this to anyone!!

Zip lining was a great way to get the kids off their phones for a few hours! The short drive from Portland, Oregon to Amboy, Washington was beautiful and then we spent the most of the day up in the trees. The structures felt secure, the staff was friendly, and the entire family had a blast! We cant wait to go back!

This was the pinnacle of my mother/son trip with my 14 year old! The staff (Alexa, Dom and Tim) were AMAZING!! They were very safety conscious (which calmed the fears of my 14 yo) and went out of their way to make this trip enjoyable and memorable!! Thanks guys!! Maybe...we will come back to Bungee jump!!

Great Zipline tour for newbies and experts alike. Located in Washington (near Portland, Oregon), these guys have a training line that lets you get the feel before you hit the 8 aerial bridges and 8 zip lines. The spiral staircase is right put of an Ewok village from Star Wars. So much fun!

What a great experience! I took my 13 year old son and we both had a great time on the Zip Line course. Casey and his guides do an outstanding job and safety is always top priority. We will definitely be back!

This was so much fun! It was fast and at the end you get two beautiful zips across the gorge. The ladders were fun to cross too.
