As close to flying as you can get

Oh what fun we had! Zip world was sooo much fun. An extremely slick operation and the staff were so helpful and professional. I can’t say in words what it was like but i will be going back.

50th Birthday Present

On a recent holiday to see my daughter in England, she took me ziplining at Zip World in Wales for my impending 50th birthday later this year. OMG! Although being a bit nervous at first, this whole adrenaline pumping experience was awesome. Great set up with professional helpful staff who were informative in explaining each step. The views are breathtaking - from the ride up the quarry to the actual zipline ride itself. Highly recommend.

Amazing experience

Cannot recommend Zipworld highly enough. We booked this for my daughters birthday and it was an unqualified success. The staff were friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. The ride itself was fantastic - a real adrenaline rush. And the restaurant was very good too.

Amazing experience!

We had an amazing time at Zip World. We booked tickets for Velocity 2 for a birthday gift & had the best time.  We were a group of 4 so went on the lines together at the same time which was great fun.  The experience started off with a safety briefing before getting our suits & harnesses and making our way to the first zip. After completing the first zip we were taken up to the top one in a little bus, stopping off on the way up to see some of the views and realise how high you are getting. The big zip was amazing - so high up and its such a surreal experience flying over the quarry at such speed. The staff were great - very safety conscious & friendly.  We took our own Go Pro to film the experience - if doing so make sure you take a head strap to go over the helmet (or you can buy one there for £8.00). The ones that Zip World have are for Garmins.  We had a fab time & would highly recommend doing this!
