Do I need to make a reservation?

We strongly recommend reservations to ensure that there is availability at the time you wish to go. Our trip times fill up fast!

Do we still go if the weather is bad?

We do zip rain or shine or snow! However, AVA’s zipline management reserves the right to cancel tours due to unsafe weather conditions, such as heavy winds and lightning. If your tour has been cancelled by management, AVA will contact you to refund or reschedule your reservation. AVA reserves the right to postpone or delay your zipline tour up to one hour to wait out inclement weather and then resume once conditions are deemed safe by management. If the zipline tour is started and less than 50% of the course is completed, you will be refunded 50% of the cost of the trip. If the zipline tour is started and more than 50% of the course is completed, you will not be refunded.

What happens if I need to cancel or change my reservation?

We do follow a strict cancellation policy which is as follows: AVA offers a 90% refund to any guest who needs to cancel their adventure until 7pm the night before the trip date. Trip changes must be completed by 7pm the night before the trip to avoid change fees. Trip changes after 7pm will result in a 15% change fee and are subject to availability. If you do cancel your reservation after 7pm the night before the trip, your reservation will be converted to an open credit equal to 85% of the total cost of your adventure. The credit is valid for the current season only. NOTE: Cancellation policy applies to the full amount of your trip. Change Policy: Inside of two weeks of the trip, changes made to the date of the trip will result in a change fee. Change fees are 15% of the total cost of the trip. Changes may not be made inside of 48 hours.
