Explore the Ozarks at Branson Zipline and Canopy Tours

Reviewed by Ashley of ReserveDirect.comI recently went on an adventure at Branson Zipline and Canopy Tours at Wolfe Creek Preserve with my fellow co-workers of ReserveDirect. This attraction brought something new to the Branson scene - eco-adventure - and was the first zipline tour to open in the Ozarks.  We were all eager to see what the buzz was all about, and after a quick but informative introduction and gear-up of our zipline equipment, we were transported from Wolfe Creek Station to the top of Wolfe Mountain to begin our adventure.

There are four eco-adventures available and we choose to go on the Ozarks Xplorer Canopy Tour, which lasts 2.5 hours and includes all seven of the ziplines, excluding the Blue Streak Zipline. From the very first zip, we were all hooked. Our guides, Kyle and Tim, were very informative and put safety first at all times. They put us all at ease and added to the all-around experience.

The first half of the tour consisted of a variety of ziplines, including ones that went fast and others that were a bit slower but allowed you to see the beauty that surrounded you. One of the goals of the Branson Zipline is to teach visitors about the ecology of the Ozarks, and you certainly get to see a large amount of the natural outdoors of the area on the tours offered. After a complimentary snack of water and granola bars, the second half of our adventure began as we trekked across extended swinging suspension bridges. From there, we completed three more ziplines, all of which provided a different perspective and different thrill.

The Branson Zipline and Canopy Tours is a highly recommended Branson attraction and is an experience you won’t soon forget!
