Zip lining was one of the items on my Bucket List and I am glad i was able to cross it off here. Mt Hermon is a well maintained and professionally managed private organization, we were able to make reservations with them over the phone without any hassles. They organize trips in groups of 8 with 2 guides for each group. The duration of the adventure is for 2 hours. The first 40-45 minutes are spent in training each of the 8 people. This time really puts people at ease, and made us comfortable during the whole experience. Leslie and Jonas were our guides who made sure we had the best time. Ziping at heights of 150 ft through the Redwood trees on a summer day with the sun shining through the dense forests onto a glistening Bean Creek below us was an amazing experience. Highly recommend it. read more

Courtney and Jimmy were awesome adventure leaders. It was my first time zip lining and I was sooo nervous cuz I'm vertigo and we were 110 ft above ground on tiny narrow platforms and the first zip line I almost chickened out but after the first one I got used to the height and it was sooooooo much fun. I want to go back and do it again. We did six zip lines and two suspension bridges. I'm hooked on the adrenaline now lol. Jimmy was funny and that helped me calm my nerves. Great awesome time we had. Totally worth the drive and the $$$$. read more

I loved my experience here and definitely recommend that fellow Bay Areans (please pretend it's a word) go check this place out. Booking our zip lining adventure was very easy and when we showed up the staff was super helpful and friendly. The experience itself is amazingly fun and the guides there make sure you feel safe the whole time through. Go check this place out and have a local adventure for yourself! read more

I was really nervous about this experience because I have never done anything like it before. I signed up for the Sequoia Aerial Adventure as that was the only option available at the time. I appreciated that they took their time in the beginning to explain how the equipment works and to let us practice before actually starting on the course. The instructors-Cameron and Andrew- were both helpful, encouraging, and supportive during the entire time. Anytime someone struggled they were there to offer advice and cheer them on. I'll admit, wearing a face mask because of COVID and the fact that it was a really hot summer day made it difficult to push on- but I'm glad I did. I felt a huge feeling of accomplishment by the end of it and had so much fun along the way. If I'm even back in the area I will absolutely sign up for another adventure!! read more

My boyfriend and I booked the aerial adventure together. We were definitely nervous beforehand but our guides were both kind and encouraging throughout the whole event. The gear was explained before use, and was super easy to use after a few rounds of practice of course. My boyfriend and I definitely loved the range of obstacles presented, and we had a blast experimenting and challenging ourselves in each one. You really get your two hours worth by the end and you'll most likely be sore the next day if you're not active on your own already! Would absolutely do again, this was awesome:) read more

Had a blast at Mt. Hermon! The facilities are gorgeous. I especially loved the giant basketball court and rock climbing walls. My guide for the ziplining tour (Jamie) was funny, knowledgeable and very easygoing. She did a great job of soothing people's fear of the zip lines. You don't often find zip lines like this in the U.S. - soaring through the towering redwoods is really an experience you can't miss!! I recommend wearing a jacket or workout pants with pockets that zip closed, so you have a secure place to store your phone or camera read more

Great local ziplining tour into the redwood canopy of the Santa Cruz mountains. Shout out to Nick and Cameron for being such entertaining tour guides with a great sense of humor. Tickets are usually $80 for 6 zip rides for a 2 hour tour. I personally wouldn't pay the full price. Bought a coupon through travelzoo for half the cost. Cool group activity or maybe a team building exercise....or if you're trying to get over fear of heights. Try it out and hug a tree. read more

The BF had a birthday and as usual his friends and family wanted to figure out what to get for him. What do you get someone who has everything? A good time! So I set up the BF's dad with a reservation here. The two of them came home talking about it for days. Great scenery, nice tour guides and a overall a unique experience. I'd recommend going with a few friends or on a date. And best of all its reasonably priced considering no other place in the bay area does something like this (80$/person). read more

So fun! The family and I headed out to Santa Cruz early to miss the traffic which was a brilliant idea because it was a gorgeous Saturday and the traffic eventually picked up. We arrived early for our 3 pm appointment and were greeted and helped out by a wonderful team of people. I was scared out of my mind and our guides couldn't have been better! Kerry and Annie are so amazing. They made me feel so comfortable. I hope to go back again this summer. read more

I went there for team building and leadership training with my college and it was a once-in-lifetime experience for me. We started with a 1-hour games on the ground then went on the trees for about 1.5 hours. There were 3 levels, over 40 challenges and 2 zip linings. Each group of 8 people will be accompanied by two staff members, who would offer advice or demonstrations and encouragements while we were on the ropes. They were super nice. Lastly, we wrapped up with a sharing with the help of some unique pictures. The most unforgettable lesson for me was that sometimes limitations allow us to reach our best potential and multiplies the fun. read more

What can I say about Mount Hermon Redwood Canopy Tours...Only that they are FRICKIN AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!! The stars or should I say the trees were aligned for me and my friends yesterday. It was the Grand Finally of a Girlz Overnight Getaway to celebrate our friend's birthday! A concert a Mountain Winery the night before then a tour of the beautiful redwoods the next morning! What even made our tour the most even more AWESOME were our fun-lovin', tree huggin', tour guides! A wonderful team made up of Jack and John! They were very helpful, very informative, very playful and very encouraging! They were a perfect combination and a great team!!!! It was like a party up in the trees! After every zip I would dance on the platform to celebrate that I made to the other side with Jack doing the running man with me! The zip-lining was fun, the view gorgeous and the experience is spiritual! It makes you appreciate nature in so many ways! It makes me proud that I live in Northern California seeing these young, giant beauties! If I could I wish that I could do it everyday! Will definitely come back again and I hope to get our Monkey Men as tour guides again! And Jack, Keep Dancing! Thank you guys! read more

Sequoia Aerial Adventure was amazing. Actually, I am fear of heights. Still, it was cool. There are 3 level and no one push you for finish your challenge. I finished 1-2-3 levels in 2 hours. By the way, 1 set is 2 hours. There were 2 guides with us. They was helpfull and funny, too. Absolutely, advise to you. read more

Way overpriced, sitting and waiting too long with the groups they put you with before each zip line turn. Also, I got stuck in the middle of the zip during the second run because the gear is lousy and after, they had the hardest time pulling me back in and I hung there for about 15 minutes while workers argued with each other on how to get me back, it was a pretty lousy and unprofessional experience. Not worth it, never again. read more

I don't understand why there are so many good reviews. Staff was not engaging, and worse not mindful (or didn't care) of people having a hard time there. read more

My husband and I zip lined through these tree tops a few years ago and I had forgotten all about it until I started staying in these woods a lot recently visiting family. I had to come here and give a review as it was one of the best experiences of my life. So exciting and fun! read more

I worked here for the summer three years ago and had the opportunity to go through the zip lining course they offer. Trust me you'll want to do this!! Absolutely amazing experience, so fun, beautiful, and adventurous. You sit hundreds of feet above the ground below attached to the tree you zip lined to. To move throughout the course, you glide from tree to tree, landing on the deck built around each red wood. It takes about a total of two hours but feels like thirty minutes. I would recommend this once in a lifetime opportunity to anyone! read more

6 stars out of 5 if possible! The team at Mount Hermon Adventures is phenomenal. Booking our zipline tour hours before the start time was very easy. Check-in was a breeze and very informational. My friend and I felt safe the entire tour, and we enjoyed the unbeatable views of crisp redwoods and flowing streams throughout the grounds. Special shoutout to Hannah and Elise for an awesome tour - both guides were funny, sweet, and full of great information about the park. This is the best place to zipline! read more

The Sequoia Aerial Adventure was such a great experience! My boyfriend and I went this weekend & had a blast. The elements were challenging, but super fun. I love how you can choose your own path and do whatever elements you like, at your own pace. The elements were phenomenal, Zip lining was so cool, & the quick jump was the best. Not to mention the two male instructors we had were AWESOME! They were so extremely helpful, answered any questions we had and really made the experience better by sharing their own tips & great sense of humor. I can't wait to go again and tell my friends about it! read more

A great outing for my young nephews! Adventurous and an awesome experience for them! A hidden gem, truly.

I went here with a cousin outing last Saturday. There was 7 of us and we were split into 2 groups. We could have been together but it would be at 4 pm. The first group was at 10 am. The second group was at 10.30 am. When we first arrived, we had went to the wrong area for check-in. Apparently it is a common occurrence, the signs need to be more clear. We walked into the Christian camp office. The check-in office was the one closest to the parking lot and green lawn. Check-in could have been more organized. There was only 2 registers. Check-in was easy since majority of us had signed the waivers. We were told to meet under the green tent 5 minutes before our start time. The helmets, straps, and gloves were provided. Our tour guides provided instructions on how to put on the straps and adjusted everything for us. My group's tour guides were April and Jesus. They were friendly, knowledgeable, made the whole experience for first timers very comfortable and fun. Before we went on our first zipline, April and Jesus had each of us go on a demo zipline. This was very useful as we learned how to hold on to the straps, land on the other side, and pull ourselves just in case we got stuck. For 2 hours, we went on 6 ziplines. Some were short, one was fast, and one was long. The highest zipline I believe was the same height as the Statue of Liberty without the torch. After the 4th zipline, we crossed this bridge and as confident as I was on the zipline, the bridge made me nervous. But not super nervous to not pose for the camera. April went on the other side of the bridge and told us she'll be taking a funny picture, serious picture, etc shots. April talked about the redwood trees' history and it was very fascinating. These trees can be up to 1000 years old. Seeing how majestic and sturdy they were was great. April had us do several challenges. One of the challenges was for us to step over the edge, 10 toes. Another challenge was to do the opposite of 10 toes and squat, allow the tension of the harness to hold on to us. We even got to hug a tree as we jumped from our base tree.The end of the zipline was bittersweet. We got to take one last picture and it made us want to go on several more ziplines. After the zipline, we went back to our starting point and returned our gear. The pictures can be purchased for $10 a shot. I wish the picture quality could have been better, it was slightly blurry on our faces. My cousins and I were starving after the ziplining tour. We had a picnic on the large lawn and it was the perfect way to end our outing. I would love to go again and experience the Sequioa adventures next. read more

I've always wanted to do zip-lining My wife arranged this date for us for both of our birthdays. This experience was outstanding. It was a total of 7 rides. I'm not sure if you want to count the first one as the cable is only 5 feet off the ground and is for training only. All the others you're 35 -100 feet of the ground on a round platform built around Redwood trees that are 100 - 900 years old. There is excitement on each ride and there is time between rides to socialize with your date, others in the group, or the 2 tour guides themselves. Our tour guides were Sarah and Bailey. They were very friendly, informative, knowledgeable, and very conscientious about safety. The total experience from orientation to finish was about 2.5 hours. After it was over, my wife and I were making plans to invite friends and family. Needless to say, we highly recommend this experience and we will be returning. Thank you Sarah and Bailey. read more

My boyfriend booked this to celebrate my birthday. I cannot believe how much fun this was! I loved it definitely got out of my comfort zone I'm low key afraid of heights and I was able to do the course. Also the weather was amazing 80 and it felt nice being up in the trees. Our guides were so awesome and encouraging. I almost gave up on the last part where you do a free fall of 15ft and my guide Kurt didn't let me give up and miss this amazing experience! Definitely have to try this once in your life! You are able to have your phones which is nice bc there's so much to take pictures of. Just make sure you have pockets! This was a good way to see what your body is able to do and how far you are willing to push yourself. I would definitely do this again! read more

Came to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday since he's never been zip lining before. I booked online a couple weeks in advance since it can sell out. They suggest to come 20 mins before your scheduled time to check in. While it was a little brisk, the thrill of being out in the redwoods on platforms between 36-150 feet in the air make you forget about the cold...at least at the beginning. We had a 3pm tour with 5 other people, so 7 of us total and 2 guides, Janis and James/Jim/Jimmy/Jimbo. Both of them were very knowledgeable, great guides, and made you feel both at ease and challenge you to push yourself and why the hell not, how often are you going to do this?! Awesome guides, great atmosphere, get out and go zip lining! read more

We had such an amazing time yesterday doing the Aerial adventure! Logan and Natalie made our time in the trees, on the course so much fun! They mapped out which routes were more difficult and offered alternate ways of conquering them. They were encouraging and funny! We seriously had a blast and I will definatly request these two when we go back. Oh! And they were vigilant about making sure we understood how the safety equipment worked. Thanks for making our adventure so much fun! (And yes, I'm a little sore today ) read more

We went zip lining here yesterday and it was a great experience. Our zip line guides were Caitlin and Josh and they did a very good job helping and explaining everything. While your out among the redwoods zipping from one tree to the next they take a few minutes to talk about the redwood forest and let you look around a bit. You don't feel rushed to get through the tour. They will stop and take pics of you and your companions. They even have an obstacle course there which we will try on our next trip. This is a great place to have some summer fun and we can't wait to go back. read more

I'm the ultimate chicken when it comes to heights - but I can honestly say that I felt very comfortable zipping between each platform that was built around some very massive redwood trees. Our guides, Mitchell and Sam, were entertaining as well as professional. They made sure that we were tethered and harnessed at all times allowing me to feel safe. First zip line was a bit scary, but as the time progressed, it got easier and easier to zip between one platform to another. The excursion is about 2 hours - and it went by so FAST! I was definitely an "AWWW - really? It's over?" moment when it came to our last zip line. I was ready to do more! Highly recommended and I would do this again in a heartbeat! read more

YOU CAN DO THIS EVEN IF YOU SUFFER FROM A MORTAL FEAR OF HEIGHTS! I am so fearful of heights that when my friends proposed to do this fun group activity a few months back, my palms were sweating and my heart was racing. Our group of 8 started at 10:30am and we were allocated two hours for the tour. Thank goodness we had two very professional and fun tour guides - Jessica and Greg. Along with having a great sense of humor, they were very thorough in explaining the details from start to finish. The guides instructed and helped each one of us 8 ladies on how to wear and fasten our harnesses, gloves and helmets. They gave us a thorough demonstration on taking off , braking and landing from one platform to the next. We were also able to do a short practice run before going on the official zipline. The one key piece which effectively put my mind at ease was the amount of safety measures they have taken to ensure we won't be in any danger throughout the tour. Not only are we securely harnessed, we also have double rope carabiners. The guide told us that the rope can withstand 5,000 lbs. and we were pretty much fastened to the ropes at all times. There is simply no way of falling down or getting injured. After we were all on the initial platform and securely fastened to the rope around the large redwood, the guide helped one person at a time to zip from one tree to the next. The guide will secure each person on to the double top and bottom zipline pulleys. Before being pushed off, legs are to be extended forward and crossed between the ankles. Both hands stacked one on top of the other on the top pulley (For left handed people, right hand on the bottom and left hand on the top). To brake, simply lower your top gloved hand, extend it flat with palm facing downward on the bottom zipline and gently push down on the rope. For most of the ziplines, there's really no need to brake since the ropes are not positioned at vast different angles and one isn't moving at an uncontrollable speed. The guide on the other end of the tree will be able to give you the cue to decelerate and will help you to stop if necessary. To go faster, just ball up by bending your knees toward your body - which makes sense as you try to increase acceleration by reducing your center of gravity. The worst thing that could happen is if someone got too scared and stopped too soon and ended-up dangling between two trees. At that point they will have to slowly pull themselves to to the destination tree. This can be somewhat tedious. The initial zipline is mentally the toughest simply from the fear and height alone. After the first zip, most people are no longer afraid and can fully enjoy the rest of the ziplines and take in the beautiful forest scenery as they zip across different trees. It was a thrilling experience. Definitely helped to conquer my fear of ziplining and allowed me look forward to my future zipline adventures. read more

I did the Sequioa canopy tour. It was excellent. Our tour guides were great, energetic and supportive.
