Whether you’re looking for family bonding time, an adventurous date, or you simply wanted to try a new thrill, zip lining could be your thing. It’s perceived as being extreme, when in actuality it’s very safe. If you want the feeling of flying with the security of being tethered, a zip line tour is a great option. Lake Travis Zipline Adventures makes for a truly memorable day trip. It’s not only exciting but safe and fun too! Those who are also looking to make a weekend of it can call ahead and book The Lakeside – a private cabin on the property that comfortably accommodates six people. Offering thrills that are second-to-none, their five zip lines, ranging from 250 feet to almost 3K in length make this the perfect weekend hot spot. And that’s not to mention their private beach, grill, and picnic areas. Professionally trained guides offer guests educational and entertaining hikes between lines. You’ll get to enjoy amazing views of the lake as well as the gorgeous Hill Country beyond.

Located in a secluded corner of this beautiful Hill Country waterway, Lake Travis Zipline Adventures is a state-of-the-art experience less than a half-hour drive from downtown Austin. Once you arrive on-site, you’ll be chauffeured to the marina for a short boat ride to your launch locale. Depending on how many people are in your group, each tour averages approximately three hours. Once there, the guides instruct everyone on safety measures while escorting each of you to the lines for a fun “flight” over the trees and, eventually, the lake itself.
