If you’re ready to add a little extra adventure to your next RV road trip, try booking a zip line tour. Heavy-duty zip line wires zig-zag between platforms, and you can explore nature in a whole new way, zooming through the treetops.
Tour companies operate worldwide, and although it’s difficult to find an exact number of zip lines in operation, some estimate that there are more than 13,000 in North America alone.

I’d also recommend that you read tour company reviews before you go. The zip line industry is self regulated, which means that before booking a tour, you’ll really want to take responsibility for checking out the company in advance.
During my family’s last RV trip to Branson, MO, we made a reservation with one of several zip line tour companies in the area and tried it for the first time. Even those in our tour group with some anxieties about heights were thrilled with the experience.
Most tour operators have a FAQ section on their website where you can learn more about the safety equipment, what to expect on your tour, what to wear, and recommendations for tipping your guides for great service.
Have you been on a zip line tour yet? Where would you recommend going next?
