Zoar Outdoor was an AMAZING experience! I organized a group of international college students from Beverly, MA to explore the Zoar Outdoor zipline facility. The students had a BLAST!

- Courtney N

We had a great time on our trip - Muhammad, our guide, was very personable and knowledgeable of the river. We would definitely do it again!

- Chris M

My two sons and I did the zip line tour with Kylee, Curtis and Zack. All three were great instructors with Kylee in the leader position. We had a lot of fun!

- Paula K

Loved, loved, loved our experience with Zoar. My first time ever zip lining and I will go back and bring others with me!
Arden and Heather gave us an incredible experience.

We had a blast. Our guide Randy was excellent. We will definitely go back. The pictures are awesome and well priced. The food was delicious for a picnic lunch.
