When we first called to make a reservation, we were the only couple, and they didn’t know if there would be enough people to offer the Zip Line adventure. It was pre-season, and we knew that this could happen. However, a few days later, they called us back to let us know that there were enough people, and we booked the Zip Line & Rope Course.
In Lava Hot Springs, they showed up in a giant Army truck to pick everyone up. There were a couple of single parents with kids, a few young-ish adults and us (50-something).
Every activity was explained very well before we started. The staff were super nice to everyone, and we were told that we’re all one big adventure family for the day. Everyone was kind and respectful, which is not something you can take for granted anymore.
There were two zip lines, and everyone got to go twice. As first-timers, we were just absolutely thrilled with the experience.
Next, we had the option to do the ninja obstacle course on multiple levels. If you’ve ever watched any obstacle course shows on TV, you get the idea. We walked on ropes, balanced on narrow beams and climbed up and down to get through all kinds of obstacles.
Just to make sure: safety was the main concern of the staff (followed closely by “having fun”), and everyone learned how to get around safely.
And then they fired up a monster contraption that raised a platform about 60 feet above ground. This was a bonus bungee jump activity for those who were interested, they said. Absolutely everyone did it, and by this time, it was absolutely clear that these guys just wanted everyone to have fun.
We did a few more things, but I don’t want to give it all away. All I can say is that we got more than our money’s worth. And we’ll definitely be back.
Took my family of four to enjoy this adventure. The host is hilarious! Tarzan, Sadie and Bella did such an awesome job making this such a fun experience! From zip-lining to the rope course! We had a blast! I would highly recommend! Definitely something our family will continue to experience on our trips to lava!!
I loved everything about it! The zip lining was so fun, the ropes course was a blast and all of the activities Milan and Tarzan has us had us do were sooooooo fun!

We took a youth group to enjoy the zip line and ninja course, THEY LOVED IT!!! Starting with the fun ride in the old truck to getting suited up, the staff was awesome. The zip lines were fast and fun, then we moved over to the ninja course. Once again, the staff made it so everyone had a great time. I’d definitely recommend this spot. Call well in advance to reserve a spot. I booked four moths in advance.
From the moment the army truck shows up til they drop you off it's an adventure. Our whole family had so much fun! Our 11 year old daughter proclaimed this was her second favorite place (behind Disneyland but ahead of Great Wolf Lodge). Yep, it's that much fun! They really challenge you and there are a variety of activities to try. My favorite part was how good they are with the kids (and honestly the adults too) in encouraging them to explore and try new things and challenge themselves. It felt like everyone left with a little more confidence. This is way more than just a ropes course and fun zipline; the staff makes this an experience. Up in the canyon there is an outhouse and chairs & shade for spectators.
