Zip lining is a popular activity in Texas, and several tours in the state offer a variety of experiences. From canopy tours in forested areas and expansive hilltop vistas to guided nature tours and lines that drop you into refreshing pools of water, Texas zip-line opportunities are abundant.

Cypress Valley Canopy Tours

Cypress Valley tours focuses on the scenic beauty of their canopy-based zip line. You will traverse the forest canopy in a ravine lined with cypress trees, following zip lines and sky bridges. You can choose among several tour options, including a canopy tour that takes you through the treetops, where you can see wildlife from a birds-eye point of view; a challenge course that tests your agility with more difficult paths high above the forest floor; and a morning bird-watching tour with a wildlife biologist as your guide.



If you have still not had enough of the scenic tour, the facility also offers an overnight canopy tree house fit for two. This treetop hotel room is set among the wildlife and available for around $300 per night.
