Take to the Skies With Adventureworks Wetland Ziplines in Virginia Beach

Adventureworks Wetland Ziplines is located in the back of the Virginia Beach KOA Holiday®.

Adventureworks Wetland Ziplines in Virginia Beach is a classic zip lining experience that includes nine zip lines spread over 60 acres of maritime forest. The park is proud to be environmentally friendly, putting the health of the trees and forest first and foremost. There are no motors or electricity operating any of the ziplining elements. 

Over the course of 90 minutes, you will reach heights up to 60 feet in the air as you zoom your way down lines up to 1,000 feet long. Most zip lines provide a relaxing scenic ride. Others get your heart pumping, reaching speeds of up to 35 mph. Zip line tours in Virginia Beach are fun for the whole family, so guests as young as 8 years old can enjoy this activity. There are no challenging ropes courses or obstacles — just fun and excitement gliding through the treetop canopy of Virginia's maritime forests.

The High Flying Outdoor Trend of Zip Lining

Zip lining's popularity has boomed over the last 15 years. This activity was invented by biologists in the tropical rain forests of Costa Rica who were looking for a way to cross large distances over canyons and gorges without disturbing the local wildlife and environment. Zip lining quickly spread and became one of the most fun activities you can have in nature. Today, zip line tours are considered an eco-friendly tourism experience and extreme sport. 

Using a stainless steel cable, safety belt, pulley and the force of gravity, zip liners traverse over landscapes and wildlife, enjoying the incredible landscape from above. The birdseye view is unlike anything you will see from the ground below, and every zip line experience is great in its own way. The maritime forests of Virginia Beach are quickly disappearing due to development. Zip lining with Adventureworks allows you to encounter this important habitat of deciduous, coniferous, and broadleaf evergreen trees firsthand. 

Zip Lining Prep 101 for Beginners

Zip lining is an incredible adventure that is fun for young and old. If this is your first time zipping through the skies, you may feel a bit nervous. However, zip lining is considered highly safe with the proper equipment and safety techniques — even if you are a beginner with no experience. 

If you are about to soar like a bird in flight through the treetops of Virginia Beach, here are some tips to help you feel a bit more prepared:

• Equipment: During your adventure, you will be instructed on the use of safety equipment including a helmet, harness and the various pieces used to carry you down the zip lines safely. Be sure to follow all directions.
• Arrival: It is best to arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled zip tour.
• Instructions: Your Adventureworks guide is there to ensure you have all the information you need to stay safe and have fun. Be sure to listen to their safety briefing and never jump off a platform until they have given you the go-ahead.
• Wait your turn: Make sure the zip line user ahead of you is clear before you take your turn.
• Health recommendations: Zip lining is a moderately demanding activity, so participants should be in reasonably good health and no more than 250 lbs. Those with heart, leg or back problems, serious illnesses or pregnant women should not participate. 
• What to wear: Dress according to the weather in comfortable clothes. We recommend outfits you might hike in or go to the gym in. Be sure to wear secure, closed-toe shoes — no high heels, flip flops or flimsy sandals. Sunscreen and bug spray are also recommended.
• Avoid losing valuables: Empty your pockets and do not take any selfies during your trip. Valuable items can easily fly out of your hands and pockets as you rush through the skies.
