Zipping in the moonlight
 
Imagine mixing the experience of camping and the enjoyment of experiencing the light of the full moon, combined with to exhilaration of zip lining! It is an experience that you will never forget. Your senses are heightened, the lines seem faster, your eyes have adjusted to the night, and there are only guides and glow sticks to light your way. We have created the ultimate moonlight excursion for those who are willing to get outside of their comfort zone and try something new.
Empower has created two different start times for each weekend we offer moonlight tours. The first tour time begins at sunset and the gear outfitting and ground school education portion are all done while the sunlight disappears. By the time the first line is over, night has set in, the glow sticks get brighter, and the cheers of excitement get louder. The second tour time is after the sun has gone down and the gear outfitting and ground school education are completed with the help of lanterns and headlamps, once it is time to start zipping the lights turn off and the glow sticks shine bright to light the platforms while letting the moonlight illuminate the tour. Both of these high energy tours are lead by our experienced guides who love to entertain as you zip through our 5 zip lines and traverse our 2 suspension bridges!
Think this is too good to be true? See how two guests from our first moonlight tour of the season recall their experience:

My co-worker and I were fortunate to be included in the inaugural Moonlight Zip Tour…what a thrill! The whole experience was fabulous, and I can’t recommend it enough! Even if you’ve already done the tour in daylight, this option offers a whole different and unique experience. The staff is fun, courteous, and professional…whether you’re a thrill seeker or a bit more timid, they will tailor the experience to suit your needs. Definitely a “must do!”

My 15 year old son and I went on a 7:45 pm moonlight zip line excursion. This is an amazing time to go as it is just starting to get dark so your training and the first part of the zip tour you still have a bit of daylight. As a first time zip liner I was very nervous at first but Tyler and Jason’s expertise and competence put me at ease immediately, I felt very safe and secure. This is so much fun for all ages!
