    It was a seriously fun experience! A little scary at times but our guides Dave and Alex were super encouraging and just overall great guides! It took the full 2 hours and we were hot and sweaty (Florida summer!) but they provided ice water in paper cups at several points which was helpful. At the end they gave us ice towels to wipe down and cool off. They also took photos of us fairly often and we bought them for $25 for the package. Great experience!

    So much FUN! We had an amazing time. Everyone on staff was super nice and friendly. Our guides, Hannah was a sweetheart and Joey was hilarious. We laughed through the whole thing! Met some great people as well which made the experience even better. Great Experience. I highly recommend.

    We have travelled to Tampa for our anniversary to go on a Hot Air Balloon flight. Unfortunately, the night before the flight, the company cancelled due to some winds forcasted for the morning☹️ We were super dissapointed! Sunday morning I decided to google “things to do in Tampa” and Empower Adventures was one of the top attractions. It looked really cool and I booked it right away! I am so happy I did! The experience was great, but it was a million times better because we had Josh M and Anna as our guides! They are both amazing! 😀 Josh is very patient too… I decided to do the “leap of faith” and I was scared to death… he waited patiently until I decided to jump 😂🤦🏻‍♀️ Thank you so much guys! ❤️

    My kids loved this! I walked back down but everyone was really nice and understanding. My kids told me how much they liked Giancarlo and Mick, who talked with them throughout the experience. It was well worth the money spent because I know that it was an unforgettable experience for them.

    Our guides Shane and Hunter were amazing! It was a first for my 73 yo mom and 10 yo son who are fearful of heights. Shane and Hunter did a great job empathizing, coaching, connecting, and guiding us to accomplish our goals today on a fantastic course with great views and perfect weather. I love the values and mission of Empower Adventure!

    My son and I had a great time. This was our 1st time doing zipline and we loved it....after the initial fear of taking that 1st step off the plank. Our guides Patrizi and David were amazing!!! They explained everything perfectly and showed us exactly what we would be doing. I highly recommend this park, especially if you're a beginner. They are great!!!

    I surprised my daughter and fiance for their birthdays. This was all of our first time zip lining. We had so much fun. Our guides were Michelle and Cheyenne. They were the best, and Cheyenne had the best jokes!!! Michelle was so patient with me, I opted out of the tight rope. We are already planning our next trip there. We had the best experience, and we 100000% recommend this place!!!!

    First time for the zip line and this is really fun. exciting, and amazing experience for us. Our young guides Brett and Anna are very energetic and friendly, they both helped the whole crews through out the adventure. We love this place and recommend if you are looking for outside challenge activity!

    Shane and Jesse were amazing guides. We really enjoyed ourselves. This was our second time there, because it was a present to our 72 yr old mother. If she can zip so can you ! Highly recommend this place.

  • 5/5 J T. 3 months ago on Google • 13 reviews New
    Shane and Hannah were amazing! My dad was in town and came across zip lining on Google. We were both really nervous but we felt safe the entire time. Such an awesome time and worth the money!

  • 5/5 Matt Lane F. 3 months ago on Google • 11 reviews New
    This was an incredible experience. Absolutely everything about Empower Adventures was top notch. It was such a fun experience and the staff were so accommodating. They made sure we had a blast while keeping us safe. I can’t say enough about EA! Our Zip guides Shane and Kaitlyn made us feel so at home. Thank you both so much! This was SOO MUCH FUN!

  • 5/5 hope e. 2 months ago on Google • 10 reviews New
    We really had a great time here. It was myself, son, & husband and we were joined by 2 other couples. The zip line’s were exhilarating for me as I had never done anything quite so adventurous before!!! Some were very fast!!! It took 3 of the people quite some time to garner up enough nerve to do the first zip-line!!! It was fun coaching them on!!! I did not expect that we would also be challenged to an obstacle course! To me, I felt like I was on an episode of the reality television show “The Extreme Warriors”!! We had to walk on a tightrope cable suspended in the air while grasping ropes above our heads & walk across! Not to mention an incredibly windy day! Oh did I mention we were about 100ft in the air!!! (Of course we were grappled in & had helmets on….but hey there!!!) I can’t tell you how wonderful our team guides were!!! Hannah cheered us on & gave those who needed a “nudge” some added TLC & extra confidence!!! Juan Carlos was just a great man’s man & super supportive!!! Both were so patient and I think they were super safety conscious about the whole day!!!

    A totally awesome experience right in our backyard! Our guides were Hannah and Juan Carlo and were professional, friendly, knowledgeable and made our whole group feel very safe. The whole 2hr experience was challenging, fun and fear conquering all at the same time, from the first climb of the circular stairs to the platform 6 stories up, to the last jump down at the end. I totally recommend! My kids want to come back for the sunset and night tours!

  • 5/5 Chad M. 8 months ago on Google
    Fantastic experience! Josh and Kat were both amazing. Very professional and provided a sense of safety and security throughout. Both were engaging and funny and when we come back, we’ll ask for them. Thanks so much! Chad

  • 5/5 Les & Renee B. 5 months ago on Google
    Our zip line adventure at Empower Adventures was an unforgettable experience thanks to our phenomenal guides, Chase and Joey. Their energy and enthusiasm were infectious, ensuring our group was excited and ready for the adventure ahead. Chase and Joey were true professionals, explaining safety procedures and making sure everyone felt secure. They created a supportive and fun atmosphere, cheering us on at every obstacle and zip line also sharing interesting facts about the area, adding an extra layer of education to our adventure. Their genuine care for our experience and dedication to safety were apparent, making us feel in good hands throughout the entire journey. We left with big smiles and cherished memories, all thanks to the incredible service provided by Chase and Joey. We can’t recommend them and Empower Adventures enough!

  • 5/5 STEVE F. 5 months ago on Google
    Went to Empower Adventures Tampa (located in Oldsmar, FL) and had the best experience and the two best guides, Jesse and Joshua P. Many thanks to them both for making the 2 hour experience adventurous, fun, safe and everyone felt included. Definitely recommend putting this on a list for things to do, try, experience and the staff were top notch.

  • 5/5 Amber K. 5 months ago on Google
    We had an absolute blast during our visit here! Chase and Jesse had an energetic upbeat attitude which made our experience that much greater. Of course we had some first time nerves but Chase and Jesse did a great job reassuring us the we are “100% safe 100% of the time” and that we were!! 😁 We are already looking forward to another visit in the near future. Highly recommend. :)

  • 5/5 Megan M. 4 months ago on Google
    We have waited years to finally be able to do this and it was definitely worth the wait! We did the Woodlands Adventure to celebrate our youngest's birthday with our family and 5 of his friends. Our guides were Jesse and Gian. They were fun, and very easy to get along with. I'd like to note that they were exceptionally helpful in calming the kid's fear of heights, so that all could enjoy the adventure. Every person had an amazing time, and the kids said that it was the best birthday party they ever went to. We had the best time ziplining over our beautiful town and seeing a bird's eye view of Tampa Bay. We will definitely do it again!

  • 5/5 Gigi S. 4 months ago on Google
    This was an amazing day! Our guides were Josh and Colin and they were hilarious! They made it so fun! They were super encouraging, and so nice during the whole tour! Can’t say enough good things about them! Zip lines are awesome and even though I was scared to do some of the challenges, they are so nice about it! I was able to do all of them! Definitely do this, if you’re looking for a fun thing to do!

  • 5/5 Sara J. 4 months ago on Google
    Hannah and Hunter were fabulous entertaining kind knowledgeable. The helmets are awful. It would be nice if they had some that were a little bit more comfortable. The place is great we love the zip lines and the best ones were going over water overall we really had a really good time and we go back.

  • 5/5 Duane E. 4 months ago on Google
    Our zipline trip to Empower Adventures was one that I will not forget. I was accompanied by my son and my 11 & 9 year old granddaughters. We were a bit apprehensive at first, which is normal. Once we received our safety briefing, and completed our first line, the rest of the adventure was pure fun. The first thing everyone will wonder, after pondering their fear of heights, is the safety of this adventure. At no time during the 2 hour adventure were any of us unclipped from a safety line. Each safety harness has two safety lines, one of which is always attached to a safety cable. Our two guides Casey and Chase were very professional and did a great job pointing out the plants and wildlife in the area. They also did a great job encouraging my granddaughters to complete the challenges. Both guides were very patient and understanding. This is a veteran owned business started by Joe Dering, who completed combat tours in both Afghanistan and Iraq. Come out, have fun and support a veteran owned business.

  • 5/5 Blu J M. 4 months ago on Google
    We had a great time! Shane and Avery were fantastic- very knowledgeable and friendly. Everyone at the office was also really helpful with recommending nearby things and places to check out. I’d definitely go back, and would love to try the sunset or nighttime course.

  • 5/5 Austin W. 2 years ago on Google
    We all had a blast ziplining! None of us had ever done anything like this before and our guides Lotus and Brett were amazing. We always felt like we were safe and in good hands and we were able to just go out there and have fun. So glad we decided to try this out before our vacation was over and would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting the Tampa area.

  • 5/5 loren m. 2 years ago on Google
    We had an absolutely fantastic time today celebrating my daughter‘s birthday zip lining. Our guides were Joey and Hannah and they were simply fantastic and made everyone in our group super comfortable. This place is a hidden treasure and I never realized it was there. I would recommend it highly!

  • 5/5 Gabriela M. 2 months ago on Google • 4 reviews New
    We had Shane and Avery as our guides and they were awesome. We had an amazing time, we were a group of 4 and just really enjoyed how funny and friendly everyone was. We also felt completely safe and loved all the photos that were taken of us for purchase. Thank you guys for a phenomenal time!

  • 5/5 Ryan A. 1 year ago on Google
    We needed an activity while staying in Tampa for a soccer tournament. This looked like a fun place to go. The girls had fun, spent about 1.5 hours on the course. Best part was that one of the kids didn't make it across and they were stuck hanging out over the pond :) No worries though, the guide came out and got her and we all left with a good laugh. This isn't the best zip line or ropes course we have been too...but it was a good place based on the cost.

  • 5/5 Emily W. 1 year ago on Google
    Empower was a great zip lining experience! Hannah and Alex were great guides, and made entire course enjoyable and fun! There are water stations through out the course which was nice, especially on a hot summer day. It was very pretty overlooking the area when you are up on the zip line and platforms. You are always clipped in to ensure you are safe. Would recommend to anyone looking for a fun adventure when visiting the Tampa area!

  • 5/5 Carlotta A. 1 year ago on Google
    Josh and Nate are amazing!! The BEST tour guides. They made sure we were comfortable and understood the safety precautions while all having fun. Definitely will be coming back. These guys made the trip out so worth it. Definitely had a lot of fun. It was my family’s first time out and first time zip lining. It was super fun thanks to Josh and Nate😁

  • 5/5 Darby H. 1 year ago on Google
    This was an incredible experience! I have lived in Tampa my whole life and didn’t realize there was such a fun and beautiful place to go zip lining here. You definitely get your moneys worth. It was not rushed, you can take your time and enjoy the ride, there is plenty to do. Hannah and Josh were awesome! They made it so much more fun by getting everyone involved, cheering each other on, playing games, and interacting with the rest of our group. We were constantly laughing and having a great time. Thank you guys!!

  • 5/5 Wendy K. 2 years ago on Google
    My mother and I visited Empower in November 2021. Our guides, Chloe and Lotus were fantastic - they did a great job of ensuring our safety, answering questions and helping to keep things moving along in a fun manner. The course was really nice. 4 or 5 nice zips and also an optional aireal obstacle course and jump. Your last zip is done after crossing a cool suspended bridge. A great afernoon in all! Note you do need to be able to climb a pretty big staircase to get to the first platform. We recommend this experience for anyone looking for a unique and fun outdoor adventure.

  • 5/5 Ava M. 1 year ago on Google
    My mom and I had a great time at empower adventures! It was our first time zip lining and we had a great group. Our guides Joey and Hannah were the best! They made us feel comfortable and explained everything to us which put us at ease! Joey even cracked some jokes to make everyone feel better. 10/10 recommend.

  • 5/5 Samantha M. 1 year ago on Google
    Kyle and Chase were amazing guides on the sunset tour! They made sure everyone was super comfortable with everything before starting and they were very funny! I highly recommend this place, my friend and I had a blast and will most definitely be coming back :) Thanks for helping us make great memories!

  • 5/5 Shaniya H. 1 year ago on Google
    I had a great experience at Empower Adventures! 10/10 would recommend coming here for a good outdoor time with friends, family, kids or even by yourself. Our guides (Ethan & Gian) were supportive and so much fun to be around. They definitely kept the morale of the group pumped before each zip. They take pictures during your tour so you’ll have memories to purchase at the end. Overall I’ll be back again!

  • 5/5 Norailys Lopez Z. 11 months ago on Google
    We had an amazing experience. It was my first time and I was a little bit nervous but Kyle and Ethan were so encouraging, enthusiastic and supportive that by the first run I felt like a ninja lol. My Husband and I recommend them a million times.

  • 5/5 Jami Walls S. 7 months ago on Google
    We had an amazing time today! This is perfect for the entire family. Our guides Josh and Hunter were terrific, they made sure everyone felt safe and was having fun even if they were a little scared. They were also very knowledgeable about the area and wildlife, which helped everyone enjoy the beautiful views even more. Thank you guys for an awesome morning!

    Wow. This was an amazing experience !!! My husband surprised me with a Valentine’s Day outing. This place is a hidden gem in Oldsmar. When we arrived and checked in everyone was very friendly and that carried over to Alyssa & Ethan who were the team instructors that were assigned to our group. They went over all the equipment and how to “suit “up. Walking up the stairs was an experience in itself. (almost didn’t make it to the top but I did) Once up there I watched everyone go and then when it was my turn I just couldn’t do it. Alyssa said that I didn’t have to go but I would miss out on an incredible opportunity. After a few minutes with her I felt better and she talked me into stepping off a 60 foot platform into the air. Ethan was on the other side and was there to catch me and made sure that I wasn’t going to fall. There were a few obstacle courses on the next platform and then more zip lining. Over all it was about 2 and a half hours with a beautiful sunset and fun. Wow!!! Definitely would do it again. We can’t say enough about Alyssa and Ethan’s professionalism and for being so reassuring.

  • 5/5 Paige H. 10 months ago on Google
    Very fun! Our guides, Hannah and Hunter, were amazing; they made it fun for all levels of experience! All safety precautions were taken to ensure a good time. Would definitely recommend!!

  • 5/5 Peg V. 9 months ago on Google
    This was one of the best experiences we've had as a family. This activity helps you build greatest trust, teamwork, strengthen your abilities to overcome and push yourself to explore your capacity in a safe environment. Our guides Chase & Hanna Banana were beyond amazing, encouraging, and patient. Throughout the activities, I completely forgot Chase name and called him Chris, he made a joke about it at the end of our excursions and Became the running gag. You Rock Chase! This was worth every second.

    My husband and I flew in to Tampa for our honeymoon this weekend and this was a super fun experience! Cole and Cheyenne were our guides and they were absolutely amazing. Super funny and outgoing and made our experience very enjoyable. If we’re ever back in Tampa we’ll definitely be coming back!

  • 5/5 Dawn L. 7 months ago on Google
    What an absolute great bunch of people to work with!! From Cortney (Office Manager) who kept abroad with me every step of the way, to Joe (Operations Manager ) who was a complete gentleman and amazing.. right down to the staff, Josh P, Josh M. And Haley.. they made my daughters and my son so comfortable and made it so fun for them... what an awesome experience... I wish they had a membership program because we all wanna go back!! (Including me, who is petrified of heights lol) Thank You Empower Adventures for a Memory that we will never forget!! If I could give 10 stars I would!! Even with the weather (lightning) the wait was a bit long but who cares, we ordered pizza, they had Ball Pong and Corn Hole to pass the time.. it was actually fun!!

  • 5/5 Paulina B. 1 year ago on Google
