Wimberley Zipline Adventures

Nothing to complain about here! I had the time of my life here with my family and friends.
We made a 2 ½ hour trip to get here and it was well worth it I tell you. I believe they only take reservations due to the party size and there’s a small road to get in and out. You would be confused when your first arrive, but you’ll find your way.
The experience off the ground is something you want to have! I was excited, had tons of fun, and enjoyed every second of it. The total time from the demonstration to the last landing was about 2 – 3 hours. The time actually runs by faster than you think. I borrowed a friend’s GoPro and they had helmets that we could use to mount our camera in it. I was able to get great videos of our view and my group having the time of their life! The instructors were students and they very helpful and energetic. They drove us up the mountain, walked us to where we needed to go, and assisted us on and off the zip lines.
It was my first experience and I’ll come back again some day. This was a very fun and awesome adventure! Don’t think it over, just do it! A lady at the age of 90 was able to do it. You can too!
We became very hungry after our ziplining, but it was a good thing we were near Austin, TX.

This was my first time ziplining and thanks to Wimberley, I had a safe and smooth experience. We were paired with a group of about 12 other people and 4 instructors. When you arrive, they ask if you want to rent a Go Pro or a clear plastic container for your phone. The container doesn’t fit the iPhone 6+, so please come with pockets or a man who will take good care of your phone. Next you’re asked to gear up and the staff help with adjustments. There is a heavy ass piece that I chose to hold with my hands instead of dangle from my weak hip. Then comes the big decision — what helmet are you going to choose for your adventure? I went with Wonder Woman. A little dated but cute nonetheless.
Next, welcome to Flight School. Here, they show you how to brake and this is a good time to build trust in the line if you are scared. Everyone gets a turn (or several) so that you can build competency in braking. The staff are all super patient and friendly. They must be trained to ask «how did it go?» because I heard that after every line. And there were 10 lines.
The lines themselves go quick (hence the zipping!), but there are a few baby hikes on your ascent up. Nothing that’s going to tire active/​healthy people, but if you don’t walk or go upstairs — then you might get a bit winded. The staff is aware and they let everyone take the time they need, provide ample water, and never rush. In fact, some of our group members were on the slower end and while our lead instructor Bryce and I were on the last line, he mentioned that our group went over the average time limit by at least an hour. He thanked me for being patient with the others. That was incredibly kind of him to thank us when they did such a nice job with the older guests!
So one thing I’m confused about is that after I posted my ziplining video, several people told me that they’ve never been instructed to hold the line or brake for themselves. (What??) I was told at other places, the staff are responsible for braking and you can go hands-​free and backwards! (This makes sense to me too because we kept being warned about our gloves getting caught and being cautious about losing fingers… but we all left with the fingers we came in with and they traded gloves with leather lining when people did brake poorly.)
Since I can’t compare experiences, I’ll speak to my first time ziplining as a noob … if you scare easily or are on the weaker end (i.e., you want a less intense hike or you’re afraid to crash on landing), this is a good way to pop your ziplining cherry. You’re in incredibly gentle hands. If you want a more daring experience, maybe consider another site that allows you to zip freely and potentially crash into a staff member at the end of the line.
For ziplining in Austin, I heard that this is a site with more lines — my only feedback is that I really wish I could have seen some water (or zipped over the lake)! Some of the lines were low, fast, and short and some were long and high. A good balance overall. Thanks Wimberley!

My friend and I decided to have a girls day weekend. We started the weekend out with a zipline adventure. While I don’t care for heights, I did have fun. I was super nervous and kind of wanting to peace out and hike back down the trail at the first zip line but I didn’t. The Guides are hilarious and patient with everyone — including the scardy cats like me. We had a super fun time and really enjoyed the tour. I hope to come back and do a night tour! :D

I wanted to do something outdoorsy for my birthday and get away from the city, but not too far, so a mini road trip was on my mind, and not sure how I stumbled across Wimberley zip line but when I read the reviews on Unilocal,I booked a reservation immediately and I’m so happy I did. Wimberley is in the Texas hill country, in the middle of San Antonio and Austin, a bit closer to San Marcos. I’ve done some mini zip lining at campsites before, but this was on a different level. If you’re looking for a worry free outdoor activity with awesome views, this is great!
Driving from Houston, I was blown away from the picturesque views that the Texas hill country had to offer. I’m from the west coast and I’m used to elevation and all that nature stuff, so this was a nice surprise, it was so beautiful and green. We booked the first tour which opened at 9 AM because we didn’t want to deal with the Texas heat, the weather seemed so perfect, the right kind of breeze and no humidity! When arriving at the address, you’ll be greeted by the Wimberley Zipline Adventures sign, and then just follow the dirt path and the parking should be at the end, it’s just a small dirt section. We got there super early, first ones in the parking lot. We then wandered to the hub where all the employees and equipment were at. We checked in at the cashier to confirm our reservation, you can also leave your personal belongings with them. There are GoPros available for rent here if you would like. While waiting for our tour to start, we got our harness and helmet. The helmets have some «character» to it, so choose something silly, cool, or normal, hehe. I used the one with Mickey ears, my boyfriend got the one with a Mohawk, and his sister got the one with character. We were also offered a cold bottled water to get us through the tour.
Once we got geared up we were taken to the «bunny» zipline where they trained us on how to stop, do’s and don’ts, and other tidbits. I appreciated the bunny zipline because it really helped me calm my nerves because I didn’t know what to expect. After our group practiced on the bunny zipline we were taken to a truck to start the tour, it was one of those safari looking trucks, and we were driving on dirt terrain so it got a little bumpy but don’t sweat it, it was like a 2 minute drive LOL! We arrived at the first line, there’s a short uphill hike to get to the highest point. When we got up there I was speechless, so beautiful up there! The view was amazing and not until our guides said that the height is about I forgot how many football fields then I started to get really nervous, it was so high. So basically the ziplines are in between to hillsides and we start from the top and go down from there totaling to 10 lines. The first line I was really scared because it was so high, but when an elderly woman volunteered to go first after one of the guides, I felt at ease. The first couple of lines you couldn’t see the end of the line but I guess that was the thrill HAH! When I went on the first line, man I was looking around and it was so cool, I thought I was going pretty normal speed, but it was definitely a breathtaking view, I totally regretted not having a GoPro or a handy video camera with me. The lines closer to the bottom got shorter (faster) and within the trees, a very unique experience. Just when I was getting the hang of things the tour was at its end. I loved this experience!
The staff were friendly, fun, and helpful! They made my experience here a real good one! Even the other folks in our group were fun, actually many of them were older, so this is a great adventure for all ages.

So much fun! My fiancé and I went on Saturday for the 11am tour. Had great weather, friendly guides, and a great group! I’m scared of heights but had a blast :) Would definitely go again.

This was the most fun I’ve had in a LONG time! The views were AMAZING, the crew was helpful, knowledgeable, and lots of fun. I had never been ziplining before and didn’t really know how it would work or what to expect, but the staff put me at ease quickly. They have a space where you can keep your car keys etc if you want. They have a few GoPro cameras available to rent. They teach you how to safely propel and break safely before the adventure starts. There’s a little uphill hiking involved, but if you don’t have any kind of impairments it doesn’t seem like it’d be too much of a problem. They provide everyone with water — which is especially nice and helpful on those hot days! Definitely check them out!

Had a blast here! The crew is super friendly, helpful, and had us cracking up the whole time! I was a first timer scared out of my mind but after trying it here I definitely would do it again. The guys were super attentive and really wanted to make sure I was having fun. Which I did! I felt completely safe as did our whole group of veteran zippers. The views were gorgeous. They told us about a night ride they have with food, drinks, and moonlight… I’m for sure doing that this summer!

We had such a great time. My husband and I, both in our 50’s and first time «zippers» were able to handle it all. I have a bad knee even but was able to do the hiking and the landings. Emily, Rachel and Amanda were wonderful guides and very patient with me. The helmets were so fun and the complementary water was most appreciated. Recommended for everyone!

I had way more fun than I thought I would! The staff was great, friendly, funny and most importantly, they made sure we were comfortable and safe.

Brilliant adventure! Tons of fun and the views are just incredible! The staff is funny; engaging and it adds to the experience! I am looking forward to trying their nighttime adventure! I have to bring my family here! They took good care of the National Association of Women Business Owners Million Dollar Roundtable group! Amazing company! Wish them tons of success!

Most fantastic staff ever, great courses. But they allow a few too many people per group.

Great zip line adventure — the kids had a blast! Looking forward to zip lining at night when the weather gets warmer. Would highly recommend to everyone!

My 10 yr old daughter, hubby and I all did this for the first time and loved it! Super friendly staff! Tour guides are hilarious, they cut up and have a good time. This is a two hour ADVENTURE with a little hike. Bring your tennis shoes! 10 Lines. Beautiful scenery. I’m an over protective mother and felt my daughter was very secure and safe. They teach everyone in «flight school» safety and breaking. Awesome Awesome !!!

What can one say about such an exhilarating experience. Had been to one other unnamed zip-​line in the Austin area and hands down, this one is the bomb! First and foremost, the staff was super friendly and understanding of people that had not done this before. Secondly, ‘flight school’ was not an hour long nor was it demeaning in any way for those that were new and/​or intimidated. Great date day! And by all means, check out Groupon and get the Go-​Pro camera for the memories. We will definitely go back. Can’t wait for the kids to old be old enough.
Thank you Wimberley Zip-​Line for an awesome experience and a great time! You guys ROCK!

Earlier today my wife and I had the pleasure to be first-​time zipliners with the awesome folks at Wimberly Adventures. Starting from the registration/​instructions email to the way we were received at the base camp, the way we were treated with courtesy by Ryan at the waver signing desk, the way we were entertained by our ziplining instructions — Andrew, Jeff and Scott — everything was just perfect. \
I personally would have wished for quite a bit more adrenaline-​surging experience, but I understand that this is the US and the have to make it super-​safe and accessible by just about anybody. not to mention the insurance companies requirements for a business of that nature.
Any way, as far as scare factor I could have handled more but other than that the entire team, organization and efficiency of process was just perfect! I would highly recommend this adventure and this particular company.

My mom and I went on October 11^th and ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS PLACE!!! The staff was a great help and very down to earth kinda people! The location was perfect and beautiful! I would definitely recommend this zip lining adventure to anyone! It was a joy! The weather was perfect and the VIEWS! I can’t stress that enough, the VIEWS WERE phenomenal! Going to make this my yearly trip! :-) :)

Everyone at Wimberley Zipline was Awesome. Who knew that there was such a fun place right outside of Austin to bring the team.
We took everyone after lunch and met up with another group and our guide Scott had a great personality and kept it fun the entire time.
The extra lines were fun! Can’t wait to go again. =)

My boyfriend and I came here Saturday (5÷10÷14) for the 11 am tour. I have never been zip lining before, so I don’t have anything to compare it to. I do know that we both had a great time!
They started us off with a basic «bunny line» and went over all the do’s and don’ts. We continued on from there in this crazy off road truck bus thing (riding in this was an adventure itself). When dropped off we hiked a little, stopping to get some views, and tidbits from the tour guides.
There are 5 longer lines and 5 short fast lines at the end. The tour guides were all very nice and helpful. Our tour was well paced but not rushed. The total time was about 1hr and a half, but everyone in our group was mid twenties to fifties, so it probably went faster than if there were children.
Overall, it was a great and memorable experience. I would come back and recommend to anyone visiting Wimberley.

My boyfriend and I had a great first time Zip Line experience. Sarah was our main guide, and she was fantastic. Not to mention she had a Unicorn glued to her helmet! Equipment is top notch, the hikes in between the 10 lines are great, the quick tutorial is actually extremely helpful and effective. I’ve never felt more comfortable doing something I’ve never done before! We had 2 other guides that helped as well, and although I can’t remember their names, they were also very good. The group that we went with was maybe 10 people total, perfect amount, not a lot of waiting around. I definitely recommend Wimberley Zip Line Adventures!

This was the best Tx adventure I have ever done. This place has hospitality, great customer service. The 2hour experience over Wimberly was like no other.
