The Best ziplining experience we have had! I learned about Highline Adventures sometime last year, and knew I have to come here to do the longest and fastest ziplines in California! The best and cheapest way to book is directly with them. They do offer 15% military discount, which makes a pretty good difference. For ziplining, they offer 2 options for regular zipline across 3 different lines that they have. You can either ride the military HMMWV up, or hike your way to the top. They both cost the same, which I found surprising. Besides that, they also offer Sunset and Moonlight options for sunset hour or night time. We were going to opt for the hike, which requires no guide. You just follow the path and signs along the trail to go up to the top. However, for some reasons, they didn't offer that on the day that we chose to go. When you arrive, you check yourself in at the main building. Your driver and 2 guides will meet with you and drive you to the top for the first and longest zipline. Along the way, you make the first top at the base of the 3rd and last/fastest zipline to be fitted with a harness. I have had the "pleasure" of trying and wearing multiple different harnesses on different occasions, trust me when I say, theirs are the MOST comfortable and BEST harness you'd ever put on. It provide full support and sitting position if you choose to sit while ziplining, no need to worry about the harness pulling or tightening up your groin area. Besides zipline, they also offer suspended obstacle course and suspended net play. The latter only has a minimum age requirement of 2, so perfect for the little kiddos to come here and play. Overall, very well run and thought-out courses that's perfect for the whole family! We can't wait to come back here again to try out the other activities that they offer. Highly recommend! read more

Ziplining review! Highline is very easy to get to. Thought we would get lost but we didn't. Signs are clear, had a restroom we could use before, check in was quick and we got right to it. Jumped in the car and went up to the top! Awesome views up there and Brittany took a great pic of us. So much fun to go down and I want to do it again! Spencer, Elijah, and Brittany were amazing guides! It's such a cool experience and they made us feel so safe. It's crazy because you're so high up. It was an awesome time. Definitely recommend and they made the process so smooth. Had a great time talking to our guides. They were very efficient and we had an awesome time. It was our first time ziplining and it definitely set the bar very high. read more

Great experience. The booking was easy, check in was smooth and the course was fun. There are two levels of difficulty and I opted for the less rigorous course. I am looking forward to doing it again. As a middle aged woman who is not an athlete I survived while enjoying myself. read more

My friend and I were staying in Santa Barbara. We wanted to zipline. I found Highline Adventures through searches and reviews. I went on the website, easy to navigate, reserve a spot and pay. About an hour drive from downtown Santa Barbara...not bad. We did go on a Thursday at 11:00 AM. Plenty of parking and only 6 in our group. The "Base Camp" main office is very nice, new, clean bathrooms, easy check-in with small storage box to hold a small purse with keys wallets and such. Joey and Jaun were our guides, they were fantastic, super friendly very courteous, made sure we were safe. Basically the Zipline adventure consist of a jeep ride to the first Zipline where you get geared up and are given safety instructions. The zips are 2 side by side lines, which was fun to race with my friend. First zip is the longest, Second is medium and third is the fastess down to base camp. My only wish is that hey had more than 3 ziplines. My only helpful hints would be is to wear sunscreen (in our case I wore leggings and a light long sleeve shirt), more comfortable, PLUS if you wear shorts or sleeveless shirt of any kind, put bug spray on. When you were stationary there were these annoying flys. It was deffinitely worth it and fun as hell. I would go again when I go back to Santa Barbara. If you plan ahead leave time to go to Solvang for lunch... fun area too. Zipline: very safe and so much fun. Service: excellent. read more

The process for reserving a spot and checking in was super easy and the store itself is so cute! I love all the proteus flowers and plants on their site, I've never seen them growing anywhere before! I'm gonna be super honest here, I was scared out of my mind to do this as I don't like heights or the feeling of falling, but my husband loves all that stuff so I wanted to do this for him! Our 2 guides Noelle and Juan were so sweet and encouraging to me even though they were half my age! I was literally crying before the first zip line and Juan was just so sweet to me! The cables and outfit they put you in are very secure and I never once felt worried about my safety! Such a smooth starting process... if I loved zip lining this would have been a dream and my husband did love it! Overall I highly recommend it and you won't get a better view than up on that mountain! read more

My husband and I love trying out new things. Going on adventures. Highline adventures was a perfect thing for us to do. They were super sweet even before we got there. We needed directions to get there from their alternate route so we had to call. They were sweet in giving us directions. Super nice when we got there to check in. The two people we got to do the overall ziplines were super nice and funny. Definitely would help anyone with nerves. Hahaha. Super fun. We enjoyed. We will be going back to do their night/afternoon zipline. read more

The entire process from booking with the Groupon code to wrapping up the activity was easy. They sent out regular updates and clear directions, and everything went in a timely manner. The guides who helped us with gear were friendly and our main guides, Mark and Lucy, were easygoing and fun, and in no way did we feel unsafe (though my husband was terrified). There are three lines you go down, the longest being 3300 feet long! Ziplining is such a thrilling activity and I'd highly recommend it to everyone, even if you're afraid of heights. read more

My 12 year old daughter and I come up to Solvang every year for a dad/daughter trip. We wanted to to try something a little different this year and we ended up having a great time. We started with a thorough safety briefing and a detailed explanation on how the equipment works. The technology they use on the course made us feel secure the whole time. It was clear they take safety seriously which made it a lot easier when you're stepping out onto a rope high up in the air. There are also different levels of courses, so you can choose how challenging and scary you want it to be. And we were able to go at our own pace which made it enjoyable and less stressful. The only minor issue is that our whole group had to wait to start because another family was running late. Not a huge deal, but we were all ready to go on time and anxious to get going. Overall though, we had a really fun time and would definitely come back. Great activity to do with kids. read more

BLOODY AMAZING!! Let's begin this review. Highline Adventures (est 2022) is a premier outdoor adventure park that offers thrilling experience. It's located on Hwy 246 in Buellton, CA. It is the state's fastest and biggest zipline tours. Upon arrival visitors will Check-in at basecamp and sign a waiver, if you haven't done it online. Your personal belongings can be kept safe at basecamp in their cubbies. There is a short hike and a 20 minute open jeep ride going to the first zipline. It gets pretty dusty along the way btw. The 2-hour zipline consist of 3 tandem zipline (3, 2 & 1) levels, guest soar for a total of 7,500 feet of cable at 400 ft. Their level 3 is the highest and longest zipline at 3,360 feet with speed of 40 mph; level 2 is moderately high and long zipline at 2,100 ft with speed over 50 mph; level 1 is the lowest and shortest zipline at 1,1940 ft with speed over 60 mph. Make sure to bring a DJI GoPro! Cellphone is risky once it dropped it is GONE in perpetuity. The best part was the breathtaking view of Santa Ynez Valley. And it wasn't that hot today thanks to the light cool breeze of September. Price for the zipline course program was worth every dollar. Our Tour Guides were knowledgeable and affable. Therefore, I gave a significant tip for their service. Overall, we enjoyed every minute of the ride. The perfect day adventure. I highly recommend you visit. read more

SO. MUCH. FUN! The guides were awesome! We had Adam and Gio! They were super funny the entire time and had a brotherly dynamic. They knew exactly what they were doing and made us all feel really comfortable and ready for the adventure! The view from the first drop is so beautiful! Such a great experience, highly recommend! Thank you all so much! read more

We are local to the area and this is an amazing experience right in our own backyard! It was our myself, my spouse and our 15 and 10 year old boys. Booking via the website was easy and seamless as well as filling out the waivers. The check-in area is beautiful and everyone we encountered was friendly and welcoming. Adrian was our guide who told us how to put on the harness and handle all the rigging. This was our first time doing any sort of ropes course like this but the tech involved seems fail safe and so user friendly. We definitely got a workout in and can see the need for the height requirement! We will definitely be feeling the work we put in doing the course! The guides were great, especially "Krissane"(sp) who was so encouraging and positive as she checked on us throughout the course. We were able to do both sides of the lower part of the course within the two hour booking. We opted not to do the upper course and will save it for our next visit. They offer water at the course and have tables and shade for those who are just watching. We are looking forward to returning to try out the zip lining. Some notes: Bathroom is located at base camp and the facilities are modern and clean. Gloves should be used and they offer them for $10 at base camp but we brought our own and I don't think it would be comfortable to do the course without them. They also offer camera rentals for $20 I believe. Wear pants or long shorts as the harness needs to be snug and it could be uncomfortable with shorter shorts. They have small storage behind the counter at base camp for your phones, keys, and other belongings. read more

These guys have got their act together from the Humvee that takes you to the zipline. To the setup of the 3 ziplines. First one in the longest in CA. You need to pencil down unless you have some weight on your bones. It gives the newbies a taste of the experience. The 2nd one allow everyone to go crazy - starfish with deadman is fun. They wrap it up with outright zoom to the bottom. The guides and staff make the experience awesome. Give it a try! read more

My two sons and I did the ropes course and it was so much fun! Everyone that worked there was fantastic and the course was definitely more of a challenge than I expected! My older son (19) did the more difficult course while my younger son (11) and I did the lower one. Definitely challenging! I highly recommend it if you're up for a great workout and a good time. We'll will be back next time we're in the area! read more

Overall, an amazing first time experience zip lining. Everyone was so friendly uplifting and make sure safety was first. Caleb and his co worker with the good music were fun and awesome guys who made this really an awesome experience.

Highline Adventures - zip lining for the first time!!! - Ziplining Near Me - Buellton, California

I have younger kids ages 4 and 6 so they are both too little for the zip lines but they really enjoyed the SkyNet playground. It's basically these bungee cords that are springy like a trampoline with some bridges and structures they can crawl through. I bought tickets online and checked in at the main adventure park building where they also have some snacks and drinks. My kids had a great time and I did too so if you are looking for something fun to do with little ones, check out the Sky Net park. The website says ages 6 and under can be accompanied by a parent. read more

My 16 year old son and I had an amazing time ziplining here. It was his first time and the staff made him feel comfortable and excited. Bridget was our guide and she was fun, confident and thorough. We attended midweek and were the only customers in our timeslot. The facility is very pretty and I can see why people would hold events onsite. We hope to return soon and will bring gloves to take on the climbing course. Thanks for the great time Highline! read more

I went on the adventure course trek and it did not disappoint! The guides were very informative and answered any questions I had. They had two course levels of which me and my girlfriend chose the beginner but even that was fun and pushed us to get a great work out at the se time as we went through the course.we seen that it was kid friendly as well so I would recommend it for all. read more

We had a great experience with Highline adventures We had some scheduling issues, ours not theirs, and they were helpful and accommodating. When we made it to the high ropes adventure, we had a blast. The guides were all knowledgeable and helpful. One, Joey, sensed my youngest daughter's apprehension and was able to stay close to us, answering all her questions along the way -- he even put on some Taylor Swift for her! He was fantastic. We didn't realize how challenging it would be! Much more work than zip lining (in my opinion) but it was a great workout and a lot of fun, I would highly recommend it to others looking for an outdoor and athletic challenge! read more

So much fun! Great activity if you need an alt to wine tasting. Guides are friendly and patient. We didn't bring our phones on the course for fear of dropping them, but they were kind enough to take pics and text them to us later. We had a blast soaring over gorgeous views, and will definitely be back with our kids when they get to the 75 lb weight limit :-) read more

Highline Adventures - Ziplining Near Me - Buellton, California

Beware the Horseshoes!!! I've been to ropes courses all over California and this was by far the best and most challenging. First off, safety was number one so if you're worried about that then you are good. The difficulty level starts off fairly easy before it gets more and more challenging before you wonder what you got yourself into. You don't have to go through the whole course and it is family friendly so go there with the notion a Of wanting to have fun. If it's warm that day then get there early(those cables are HOT) and use the gloves they offer to protect your fingers. If you are reading this ChrisAnne you are an awesome guide and my family loves you! Nate and the other employees too!! read more

We went Ziplining for my birthday. It was so much fun that we can't wait to go back and do it again! Everyone was very friendly and helpful. There are 3 Ziplines that are slightly different but equally exhilarating. There are very many safety precautions. Two of the people in our group were afraid of heights, but they both had a blast and didn't have any problems. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking! I definitely recommend doing this. It is an incredible experience! read more

We went on the course instead of the zipline because we wanted a little workout. Repeat...a little workout. Uh oh! Stay on the bottom level to maintain the smiles and the light hearted ribbing and making fun of each other. Level 2 is more intense. Towards the end, no smiles, no laughing, no jokes...just trying to get to the end. Bridget and Adrian were awesome, helpful, fun, and life savers at the end. Everyone should go here. Go on your first day. DO NOT go if you drank the night before, especially for the 2nd level. read more

We really enjoyed and had lots of fun. We did the adventure course trek. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I will definitely recommend Highline Adventures to family and friends. We are already planning to go back. read more

This place was amazing. All of the workers were so kind and helpful. They were so thorough and good about safety. We had our almost 8 year-old with us, nine-year-old, 11-year-old and a 12-year-old and they all just loved it! We did the ropes course and next time I probably would get gloves for myself. it was challenging, but also very rewarding for all of them. My 12-year-old did the hardest course at the top and the rest stayed on the normal level. Which was hard enough in my opinion! read more

We had a great family experince at the Highline Adventure course trek. Our guide Krissann was very helpful and patient with us. 5 stars!!

Took my two granddaughters ages 12 & 14. They killed it. They loved it. Both completed both the two bottom and upper levels within our time frame. I did not do quite as well. But proud at 80 to complete the lower level. read more

Took my eight year old son to the Skynet Playground. We checked in at base camp and they told us to walk up a hill to find it. Once arrived at the playground there was no one to check us in or tell us about it. It was a cool idea, a netted playground in the trees but my son lost interest after 30 minutes. Sat in the shade while I tried to encourage my son to play more and I got attacked by mosquitoes all over my body. It would have been nice if they mentioned there was a bug problem and people could over up and dress accordingly. Also, should install a drinking fountain or have more water available. They had a small cooler by the playground but there was only two small bottles left. read more

We had an amazing time at the adventure park! The staff were friendly, helpful, and trained us well to be sure we would be safe. With the safety harnesses, helmets, and clever idiot-proof locking-tethering system, we felt entirely safe even on the upper, more difficult course. We were pleasantly surprised by the challenges on the course and hope to come back again for more of this exciting outdoor fun! Helpful info for anyone planning to go: gloves make it way more comfortable. You can but theirs for $5/pair or bring your own. You can bring your phone on the course but have to have it on a cross-body strap. They provided us with water bottles free of charge. The upper course is indeed more physically demanding, but gives you even better views if you're up to it. read more

Visited Highline Adventures over spring break 2026 with my family. There website states that kids 48" and above can complete the ropes course with the assistance of an adult. After driving a few hours and being on site for over an hour, we were told that our son, who was exactly 48", was too small to complete the course. After being there, it is my opinion that any kid under that 70" reach will struggle to complete the ropes course. Our experience was that the website was misleading. Our 11 and 12 year old could do the ropes course, but our 48" 6 year old was too small for the ropes course, but bored on the sky nets after about 15 minutes. It was a frustrating experience that, in my opinion, could be avoided with more clarity on their website. read more

The courses were great. Lots of different obstacles and good mix of challenging courses with a few easier ones in between - just when you feel like you need a little break. Staff was helpful, safety was great. We will definitely come again! read more

My 15-year-old daughter had an amazing time zip-lining here and couldn't wait to return for the adventure course. So, for her birthday, I brought her and six of her friends back to celebrate. The place is incredibly clean, the staff is friendly, the views are stunning, and the adventure course is fantastic. They even have a super friendly pup onsite who loves to play fetch, which was such a fun bonus! Their bathrooms are spotless, there's ample parking, and the entire experience felt very safe. A couple of tips: It's a very active course designed for older kids, and there's a height requirement to participate, so be sure to check that in advance. Wear a shirt with a hoodie to protect your neck from rubbing too much while navigating the course. While it can get chilly later in the evening when the sun dips behind the mountain, you'll definitely warm up as you maneuver through the course. Don't forget bug spray if you're there as it starts to get dark--mosquitoes can make an appearance! I highly recommend this spot for a fun outdoor activity. Bonus: I brought my laptop and was able to get some work done while the kids enjoyed themselves! read more

Went with my best friend we are both over the age of 66. Tyler, nate, zared greeted us with a great attitude. They taught us quite a bit and we're there for any questions we had. We spent the whole 2 hours on each side. Good for core workout, focus, balance. Definitely bring your gloves. read more

Highline Adventures - Two badass dueling grannies. - Ziplining Near Me - Buellton, California

Highline Adventure Day one we went on the Skynet so that way the kids could see how they handled being up in the air and if they were afraid. Walking was different and my wife was uncomfortable at first but later enjoyed it. Kids did really well, Fear was not a Factor for them. Then I knew they were ready for the Highline adventure with obstacle courses and wearing a harness up in the air. They loved and played until their muscles shook and they could barely walk, they had a fantastic time. So the next day we did a relaxing 4 by 4 Bronco tour which we all enjoyed as running through brush pulling up lichen Moss and smelling the sage. It was a wonderful experience we had a fantastic driver that let us enjoy doing doughnuts in the dirt with the Ford Broncos. We ended our vacation, the last day, with the kids and my wife doing zip lining. They came back with ruffled hair but huge smiles. I recommend purchasing tickets in advance during your stay however if you're like me and I did not make weight just a few dozen pounds overweight, then you should wait until you're there so they can weigh you to be sure you make the weight. It was a great experience my family loved it had a fantastic and memorable time thank you very much Highline Adventure staff. read more

We did the ropes course at Highline Adventures in Buellton and it was amazing! My kids had so much fun--from the very first obstacle to the final climb. The course is well-designed: fun, a little challenging (in the best way), and totally safe. The setting among the trees made it even more fun--like a real outdoor adventure playground. My kids wanted to stay and enjoy it even more and we'll definitely be coming back for the 2-hour session next time! Highly recommend it for families looking for something active and exciting to do together. Super Fun! read more

Safe, fun, friendly and professional staff. This is a great place to visit for some outdoor adventure. I've done a handful of zip lines and this one was in fact the longest I've ever done. You'll start off at base camp to check in. If you have a purse or anything you want to leave behind, you can leave it in a basket at base camp. A staff member will walk you up to where your gear is and then drive you up to the first zip line in a humvee. The ride is a little bumpy but there are great views and depending on when you go, you might see some of the proteas which are really unique-looking flowers. The ride to the top to the first zip line is a little long but so worth it. It's the longest zip line and the view is incredible. The guides were really kind, safety-minded, and made first time people feel very comfortable. In my opinion, the last of the three zip lines was the best because I felt like I was going faster but the whole experience was really fun and exhilarating! read more
