It's starting to get warm!

In just a few weeks, those cold April days will be a distant memory! Bring on summer and sunshine!!

Mother and Daughter Zipline Adventure. They braved the cold with us one morning.

Rain Rain Go Away!

We have had a very rainy April. On one hand, it's great for the area as we do not want to experience another drought summer like last year. On the other hand, it's not so great for outdoor recreation like ziplining! We appreciate everyone's understanding with weather-related cancellations this month and we're hoping for a much nicer May.

Here are some photos from recent tour groups :)

Having fun on the Widow Maker

 

 

Line number 5 on our High Flyer tour is called the Widow Maker. Don't worry; nobody has ever been hurt on this line - we just think it's a funny name!
One of the cool things we can do when the weather is just right is send a wave down the line which creates a rollercoaster feeling while you zip. We call it our bouncing zipline.
I'm sharing some videos from today's tour where our guests got the ride of their lives!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some of our guests from our Opening Week!

We had a great opening week with you all! These are just some of the happy customers we had the pleasure of zipping with the first week of April 2013. The weather held off for the most part and we all had a great time flying through (and above!) the trees.
Thanks everyone!

2013

We're now open for our 2013 season! Look forward to zipping with everyone this year.

Mike Seper, 'Trep of the Month

Mike Seper, owner of Eco Zipline Tours, was named 'Trep of the Month for the Feburary issue of Entrepreneur magazine. Way to go, Mike! The idea was you were to send in a fun photo of yourself reading the magazine, relating that photo to how you're an entrepreneur. Well, Mike decided he was going to have his photo taken while ziplining! His photo and a write-up were both printed in the magazine. Mike has a true entrepreneurial spirit and he was very excited to be featured in his favorite magazine!

Up Up and Away

We had the pleasure of staying at Up Up and Away, a beautiful B&B set atop the hillside, overlooking beautiful Hermann, MO.

Our group of 5, including a 6 month old, all fit comfortably in the Deck Suite. (Two + Baby were in master bedroom, Two were on the pull-out in the living room).
We selected the deck suite for it's privacy and also because we had an infant with us. As far as my reasearch has gone, most B&Bs in Hermann, MO do not allow children and require all customers must be 18 years of age. As this is a stand alone suite, a crying child will not disturb other guests.

Up Up and Away is one of the few children friendly B&Bs in Hermann.

The master bedroom. It is gorgeous, modern and comfortable.

Nice large tub. There is also an additional double headed shower across the room. Both bathrooms are only accessible by the master bedroom.

The beautiful view. The only way to access the deck suite is by a outdoor staircase. It is not the easiest to manuever but we didn't have any serious issues with it.

 

A gourmet breakfast is included in the rate and my goodness, it is delicious!

Tandem Riding

Many concerned parents call us requesting information on children ziplining. While parents are not allowed to ride tandem with children, we have highly trained guides who are more than happy to ride tandem with any child who may be nervous.

For our Easy Rider (4 line) tour and our Super Six (6 line) tour children ages 3+ (no matter how small!) can ride by themselves. They do not need to ride tandem if they do not want to -- these lines were specifically designed with children in mind and therefore the children have no problem getting over to the other side.

However, if your child would like to ride tandem with someone because he or she is nervous or scared, I have put together a few pictures and comments to explain how that will work.

 

All tours start at the same point; our first line adjacent to our parking lot.

 Landon is riding tandem with owner, Mike. Landon's mother stays on this side to make sure Landon is okay. Both Mike and Landon are in harnesses. Landon rides infront of Mike, holding his own straps. He does not have to hold his own straps but it gives them something to do (if children let go of the straps it is no problem.)  Mike holds onto the cable for the both of them so Landon doesn't have to do anything but sit back and enjoy the ride.

 Landon's group cheers for him as he comes in to the landing. Landon's father as zipped over first so he is there to greet Landon as he comes in.

Landon, who was very apprehensive before his first line, gives Mike a high five. Landon's red safety strap is then attached to the tree so he is safe on the platform.

 Landon is excited for his mom to join him on the platform.

Family photo!

***As always, please call us at 314 456 1444 if you have any questions***

Summer is winding down and the kiddos are going back to school. We have had a great summer zipping with everyone and hope you all enjoyed your tours! August has always been our slowest month, with the hustle and bustle of settling into new school routines. We will start getting busy again in September and October so be sure to book early to secure your spots. Fall is a beautiful time to zip at Eco Zipline Tours.

The beginning of fall, 2011.

Reviews

We're very excited that we're the number #1 rated attraction on TripAdvisor, in all of Missouri! We love our honest reviews and hope that we continue to impress our customers with the experience we offer at Eco Zipline Tours.


Here are some more comments from Living Social.com We love hearing the feedback, good & bad. Keep it coming!

The best experience that I have had in a long time. A great way to get your adrenaline pumping and have fun doing it!

Thumbs Up 07/12/2012

Molly and Yousef were excellent guides.

Thumbs Up 07/10/2012

Molly and Yusef, our guides, were very friendly and I felt safe with them! A cool experience so I recommend it. I was a bit afraid at the start but relaxed after the second cable line. I think the bottle of water should have been included in the price of the tour. It cost $1.00 and it would have been nice not to have to pay for it.

Thumbs Up 07/09/2012

This was a great deal and a great time. These folks are super nice and everyone had a blast.

Molly & Yusef sure are popular!
 

It's a HOT one!

Woo! It is HOT in Missouri this summer, huh? This is a friendly reminder to all of our customers to always stay as hydrated as possible before their tour!!
We will always have ice cold water for $1.00 in our office or you're welcome to bring your own 16oz plastic (light-weight) water bottle. We provide the water bottle holders that can attach to your zipline harness.

Positive Feedback from our Living Social customers

I just discovered that Living Social gives our customers the chance to review us after their visit. We love hearing feedback, good or bad, so are thrilled with this feature. So far, we have only had one thumbs down (they thought it would be more exciting and decided not to go on to the High Flyer - but they did say we were very friendly and professional!) So far, we have over 25 thumbs up! Our guides seriously are some of the best around.

Here are some of the comments we received so far:
"we had the best tour guides ever! We had so so much fun! Callie and Christian were a blast. we will be back!!!!"

"We had a wonderful time. Randy and Nick were our guides through the tour and they were careful & patient and made it a lot of fun. Our group was an older couple with our twenty something kids, and we were joined by a family with young children. Though I am afraid of heights, I found it to be a great experience." (We do not have anyone named Randy who works with us but we appreciate the feedback!)

"Awesome! FUN! Friendly employees! Money well spent!"

"The staff was very professional and friendly. They made it fun and I felt very safe in their capable hands. I would definitely go back!"

"It was my first time to Zipline. It was a wonderful experience. The people who own and run it were very friendly and professional. I felt very safe."

"It was AWESOME!! Friendly, helpful staff. Very well run facility. Will go again!"

"They were professional and the guides impressed us both. Dan was great."


Here are some pictures from this past weekend:

A Busy April

"Here we go Landon!"

High Five after Landon's first zip.

...because, sometimes, photos tell the story better than words. Thank you to all who visited us in April. Also, thank you for being so understanding with our weather related cancellations this month. Let's hope for a beautiful sunny May!
