Skamania Lodge Zip Line Tour

We had a fabulous two plus hours with Shane and his crew. Very safety conscious and organized group. We had a blast. Highly recommend this attraction. Eat lunch at the Skamania Lodge afterwards and it works perfectly. Thanks to all

My husband and I had so much fun zip lining for the first time at the Skamania Lodge. The staff was knowledgeable and made the experience even better. Would definitely reccomend! Perfect outing in the PNW!

Was driving down a different root from a week long kayak camping trip. Pulled into Carson & went on Unilocal to see what might bee fun to check out in the area while I was there. Found the zip line tours. Website shows minimum of two people for reservations but I called and said I was in town (just one of me) and if they could add me to a tour that day — exceptionally friendly & accomodating… 15 minutes later I was getting rigged up to zip line. Nearly everyone in the group were first-​timers like me.
Our guides were Albert and Chad (I think that was his name, I just called him «Mr. Eye Candy».
Guides had the perfect personality for an activity like this and were quickly able to remember everyone’s names by the second zip (that always impresses me). They were patient and encouraging to those more timid & nervous but quick to recognize and banter with those of us who were fearless. They knew which folks they could tease and challenge and recognized those they needed to comfort and respect their anxieties & fears. After building up skills after each successive zip from tree to tree, I was having a blast. At one point took a zip to the base of the tree I assumed we were done and was sad it was over but satisfied with the experience… then we walked a little more on a trail, took the steps up to another tree and continued for several more zips! What an exciting surprise.
PROS: fantastic, funny, enthusiastic guides. Well created course to build skills, safety contiually prioritized in a non-​anxiety forming way, lots of zips for the price, beautiful area. Fun folks to meet once the ice was broken from those who started out nervous & gradually built their confidence, strong moral support from the group.
CONS: can’t think of a single one
Best advice I can give is trust in the guides, the gear and the instructions and let loose!
On the walk back to the lodge it was clear that everyone had a great experience greatly due to the guides and their individual attention and instant recognition of each of the attendees comfort levels.
Worth it, worth it, worth it!

Skamania Zipline Tour was Completely amazing! Shane Large and his Crew Samson, Chase, Braden, and Savanna were just incredible, attentive and experienced! My 19 yr old son is in a wheelchair from a major accident and with their help, he was able to do the entire course! Very hard to plan a family vacation with limitations but Skamania Zipline made it possible! I was literally in tears watching my son smile while he zipped across the beautiful canopy of trees! Thank you Shane and your crew for memories of a lifetime!

Fantastic! This was so much fun. Our guides were phenomenal and their focus is on safety and fun. My family and I had a blast (kids 12 & 10 loved it!) great experience. Thank you Jonathan and crew!

This is the best experience for a newbie! Staff was friendly, knowledgeable and their emphasis on safety stood out the most on my tour. Although I did a tour in the rain (it’s fall in the PNW, what ya expect!) and it was a chilly low 50s it was great experience. Makes me want to go back to try this in the summer!

This zip line tour is tons of fun! We went with a small group early in the morning to hike through the air. The guides were very friendly and safe, I liked that you’re double-​hooked in at all times. They start you off with a couple smaller zip lines to get started and then hit some bigger lines toward the end. The only bad part is that it comes to an end!

This was an awesome experience. Definitely not to be missed if you are visiting the Portland/​Vancouver area. The drive over the Bridge of the Gods was spectacular and the Skamania Lodge grounds were well kept.
Ok back to the zip lining. Our guides were Mark, Shane or Tiana (aka Skiddy, Large and T-​bone). They were very reassuring for first time zip-​liners and had a terrific sense of humor. It took about 2 hours for our group of 6 to get through a series of 7 zip lines and suspension bridges. We found out that this was Tiana’s first day on the job. We never would have guessed it as she was the consummate pro.

Absolutely fun. Excellent experience and safe. Exhilarating with fun guides. Shout out to Zeke and Dakota.

I had a blast zip lining at the Skamania Lodge in Stevenson WA. It was my first experience on a zip line. Our guides, Mark and Sean (I think), did a great job explaining how everything worked making me feel safe and comfortable throughout the adventure. If you’re ever near Portland, I highly recommend taking 2 – 3 hours and giving it a try.

As part of my sister’s bachelorette trip, we went to Skamania to do a zip line tour with a group of twelve girls, and everyone had a blast!
For our tour, we had John and Jonathan guiding us, and they were AWESOME. They knew exactly how to make everyone feel safe, were extremely helpful, and were a lot of fun to be around! They took us on a total of seven zips around the lodge, each one a little longer than the previous, so it was great for a group of predominantly newbie zip liners.
The best part about having Skamania was that they could have all twelve of us girls zip lining together, which other zip tours could not do for us. It was well worth it to be able to have the entire group together for the whole tour as opposed to splitting up.
They even gave us a very generous discount, so if you’re thinking about booking a group tour, definitely give them a call. Also, we were told Skamania is looking to add an aerial obstacle/​challenge course in the near future, so be on the lookout for that!

We thoroughly enjoyed the Zip Line tour. My wife is somewhat afraid of heights and was a little nervous on the first line but from then on she had a blast. In fact, she’ll be looking for zip lines wherever we vacation.

This was my girlfriend’s birthday trip, so I had planned to do something on our last day that would surprise, and maybe get her adrenaline going.
I researched a few places to go ziplining, and on the recommendation of Martin’s Gorge Tours, I decided to go for Skamania Zipline and stay at the Lodge as well. We did our ziplining the Friday after the Labor Day weekend, so we had the opportunity to have a more personable venture.
They do offer cam rentals, and they’ll send you an edited video a week later. So, we ordered up a couple of webcams, to record our adventure across their seven line course, with a couple of bridges, and one drop.
Our guides were excellent. They took care of us the entire time, making us feel safe and secure all the time, and making sure the cams were working and recording the best of our ziplining.
The tour starts out over the parking lot and progresses around the lodge, passing through the beautiful scenery that Washington has to offer. It’s a great time, especially for us first-​timers. Makes us want to head back and do it all again.
