What an AVA Group Trip looks like
Testimonials
We went ziplining in a group of 8. We had 2 people who were terrified (afraid of heights). The staff made them feel comfortable and were willing to repeatedly calm their fears so they were able to have fun!
Starr F.
Our <span class="EZvGN">group</span> included 3 adults and 3 kids (6, 9, and 14). When the 6 year old didn’t make it to the end of the first line Robert helped her out and then TJ provided tandem rides for the rest of the lines. The 9 year old went from being scared to thrilled. All three of the kids voted this as their favorite experience during our vacation.
