    Entry to Sonoma Zipline Adventures

    Very organized from entry to finish. Great group of associates. Anastasia and Grace were great fun totally engaged and safety was there number 1 priority. Awesome employees. Will be back to tackle the other Zipline maybe stay in there tree forts

    rappel down after high tree tops zip line!
    Dani B.

    amazing experience!! did the tree tops course and had keely and rylee as our guides. they were so sweet anne gave very clear instructions on how everything works as well as fun tips to make ziplining more fun or exciting. they also had lots of jokes. really enjoyed the fun atmosphere our guides helped create because it made it easier for everyone in the group to chat. it helped that there was only 4 of us going ziplining. i enjoyed all the ziplines and the rappel down was so fun. i would definitely recommend this experience to anyone! paid for pictures and the gopro helmet and it was so worth it to have memories of this!

    Zip lining

    We had an absolute blast zip lining in Sonoma! We did the Forest Flights Tour and our two tour guides always made us feel safe. There are 7 different zip lines which took about 2.5 hours. Overall, great experience.

    Welcome to Sonoma Zipline Adventure.

    Life is about having a daring adventure or nothing at all. Let's begin this zipline adventure. Sonoma Zipline Adventure is an outdoor non-profit organization that provide activity unlike you've ever experienced. It's nestled deep in the Redwood forest in Occidental, CA. They have two unique courses (Forest Flight Tour and Tree Top Tour) containing zip lines, sky bridges, spiral tree staircase and a rappel. We did the Tree Tops which is their highest, fastest and longest course. You will reach speeds of up to 40 mph with a total of 7 zips, bridges and a rappel. As an outdoorsy lad & adventure thrill seeker, SZA was exactly I need. Living life on the edge. Our young safety guides, Shannon and Rebecca, were phenomenal, knowledgeable and professional. It took a little over to 1 1/2 hours to complete the course. Price was worth it. Plenty of parking. Cell reception is nonexistent but they have a free wifi at base camp only. The best part was the majestic Redwood tree top view and I loved it! I felt their natural power; and those trees, they sway and talk as the wind blows. Overall, I had a bloody fantastic time. I highly recommend you visit.

    Dinner!! Filet mignon

    We stayed in the treehouses and had two Zipline adventures. The staff was amazing. From start to finish every one of our were met. The zipline guides were so friendly and knowledgeable. I brought my 10-year-old granddaughter for her birthday and they treated her careful consideration of her age and her inexperience. They made her feel comfortable and fun for her. I can't say enough about the Treehouse~I was like a 4 star hotel . Absolutely everything you needed to be comfortable and safe. They were beautiful and safe in a pristine situated in a redwood grove . The meals were over the top, deliciously prepared with fresh and quality ingredients. We celebrated my granddaughter's 10th birthday and had the best time from start to finish. I highly recommend a trip to Sonoma Canopy ~ a beautiful adventure I won't forget!

    Highly recommend this trip but make sure to book the treehouse!! You get more bang for your buck. Staff was super friendly, helpful and amazing. From the time we checked in, Bryan and Rebecca made us feel welcome. The tour and zip line guides were awesome, knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. The zip lines themselves were amazing. It was a great day and the views were majestic. Treehouse: it was clean, well lit and good amenities. They had a charcuterie board when we got to the treehouse and both dinner and breakfast were really good. They had snacks and bottled water. Showers (which was a little bit of a hike) were clean, had hot water and thick fluffy towels. Gave it 4 stars because it was pricey for a night thing.

    Cheers to our 20th wedding anniversary We came here to celebrate and do something adventurous. We had the best tour guides for our zip lining - Aiden, Mari and Bryan. Dario was our host for the tree house. Everything was amazing the zip lining, the food, the guides and the experience was just so cool!! I highly recommend this to anyone as it was so peaceful and fun! Do it book it!!!

    Checking in!

    First time I've been on a zipline so I didn't know what to expect. I was so nervous but the guides were amazing. I felt secured and safe in their hands. My heart was racing on the first zipline but by the end I was jumping off the ledge! It was exhilarating flying through the treetops, soaring over lush green canopies. It was a picture perfect setting that made the ride/adventure even more memorable! Indeed, money well spent!

    Breakfast of half slice of French Toast, scrambled eggs, 2 slices of bacon, and country potatoes

    I was initially drawn to the ziplining treehouse adventure here due to a Facebook ad with a coupon code for 20% off plus 2 GoPro rentals (valued at $49 each). How often do you ever hear anyone say they stayed in treehouse that's 80 to 100 feet above ground? This was an opportunity worth experiencing! I'd recommend 10/10! INITIAL LOGISTICS: Ryan will be ready with puns to check you in at the Welcome center. Upon checking, you'll place all your belongings in a bin. We had three adult guests and the bin was the right size for 2 backpacks and a duffle bag. For adults, I'd say stick to 4 backpacks. It's recommended to have clothes with zipper pockets but there will be a small bin to place items into before your ziplines. TOUR GUIDE: On day 1, my guides were Mari and Sofia. On day 2, Mari again with Pao. The guides were very punny and had great chemistry. They helped my friend ease her nerves with their long term experience and safety knowledge. YURT: There is a heater but no air conditioning. It's recommended to do the treehouse adventure not during the summer. I went during a day off on MLK's bday in January with cooler weather. RESTROOM: There was a 5 gallon tank for the sink and a separate tank outside the yurt for toilet flushes. The water was cold. There also were pads and tampons provided. There was a communal shower facility close to the yurts with hot water. The shower facility had 4 stalls each with a sink, body towels, face towel, hair dryer, pads, and tampons. DRINKING WATER: I brought in 2 water bottles, one at 24 oz and 1 at 12 oz. I had topped off my 12 oz bottle at the Welcome center on day 1. After your forest flight, you are given a 16.9 oz bottle of water. Upon entering the yurt, there is one 20.3 oz water bottle per person included plus a hot water thermos pitcher. We were able to request a refill on hot water. At dinner time, we had a glass bottle of water like they have at restaurants. I did use some of this water to brush my teeth at night to conserve the tank water for washing my hands after all my toilet uses. At breakfast, we got another hot water thermo pitcher plus the glass bottle of water. I used the cooled off hot water from the night before to brush my teeth in the morning. FOOD: There was a charcuterie board, 1 bag of white cheddar popcorn per person, 1 trail mix bag per person, and 1 packet of hot chocolate per person along with teas, coffee packets and condiments already in the yurt. Dinner was provided with a glass bottle of water, bread (baguette), salad (spinach, feta, and cranberry), entree, side, and dessert (crème brûlée). My friends and I ordered the chicken with a side of polenta, steak with a side of mashed potatoes and roasted squash, and the Chef's Choice which was salmon with a side of mashed squash with bell peppers and cherry tomatoes. Our dishes all had nice presentation and were so delicious. The steak was medium, juicy, and very tender. If you do not like medium, you can put in a request to be cooked otherwise upon booking your stay. There was also A1 in the condiment basket in the yurt already provided. Breakfast had a glass bottle of water, glass bottle of orange juice, pitcher thermos of hot water and coffee, mini chocolate danishes, mixed fruit (watermelon, pineapple, blueberry, cantaloupe, honey dew), and our entrees of half a slice of French toast, scrambled eggs, country potatoes, and two slices of bacon. The French toast was so crispy good! I think it may have been fried well.

    Josh and Simon were awesome guides! They made this experience so enjoyable. Amazing views and so much fun to be in nature. Will definitely be coming back!

    One of the bridges. It's shaky but still safe.

    Ask the Community - Sonoma Zipline Adventures

    Looks like it can be max 5 per treehouse, how many can fit comfortably & sleep?

    5 would be difficult imo. 4 per 1 queen & a 2 level bunk bed

    Are we able to book a private groups (5 ppl)? Or do we have to be with another group?

    A group of 8 would only be private! If you have a group of 5, they will add 2-3 more people to the group. My wife and I went and 6 other people were added still was one of the best trips we ever did, and the other 6 people were so nice, the turn out… 

    Which is the best treehouse? I know insides are alike. Which has best view and least foot traffic?

    All treehouses include excellent canopy views, but Ocean stands out for atmosphere and serenity

    For TREE TOP COURSE, if we go in end of December, which time would be the best (9:45am, 10:15am, 10:45am, 12:15pm, 12:45pm, 1:45pm)? Thanks!

    After lunch may be better or it will be cold I would think!! It is awesome enjoy

    Is there a waitlist in case of cancellations? there's only 1 person spots left and i need 2 spots

    What is the weight limit?

    I think I remember the sign saying it's like 70 lbs to 250 lbs

    How long is the tree top?

    It's about an hour and a half, but you'll want to allow at least two hours total because they take you by truck to the course, and there's a short instructional as well

    Is the minimum age still 10?

    Yes..it is still 10, and our 10 year old girl was so brave and had an awesome time!

    How scary is the tree tops tour?

    Compared to others that I've been on, this was less scary because they make sure you are completely attached at all times. Plus, there are cables and rings to hold onto on each platform--even though you are safely attached.

    Is there any weight requirement?

    Yes, and they weigh you before you go on the tour.

    What to wear?

    Very comfortable clothes but maybe in layers so you can remove it if you feel hot. But definitely need closed-end shoes.

    How much per person?

    It depends on the tour you choose and whether it's a weekday vs. weekend, so it ranges from $99 - $139. For details, go to: https://sonomacanopytours.com/view-tours/

    How long does the tour last and can two people do it?

    Around 2 - 2.5 hours total. Yes, 2 can definitely do it; they put together groups of 5 - 7. Have fun!

    Is it kids friendly. 5 and 7 y/o?

    They have to weigh at least 70 lbs!! They have a scale at the check in counter which everyone has to step on!! Thank goodness only the check in person can see it.

    Does it need to be a group or it could just be 2 person and join together with the other group. I am thinking to go there with my wife and I'm wondering if I could book just for 2 persons?

    Yes. My wife and I did exactly that. We joined up with another couple and a woman. It was fun getting to know the other people and see them experience the tour like us. The first time I went, same thing also. Five of us joined with a couple.

    Best fun I've had in a while!!! I went here for a work training on a Saturday. Good thing the…read moreweather was perfect!!! During the 90 minutes my rotation had for this course, I ended up doing 4 of the 6 available challenges: 1. Tight Rope: I basically climbed up a bunch of staples and walked across a rope that was 30 ft in the air. It was nerve wracking, but it helped to know I was secure and wasn't going to fall into anything. Tricky, but a pretty fun way to start off since you can hold onto a series of several ropes that are hanging above you along the way. 2. ZIPLINE: I think this is scary when you climb up to the platform, but after that this is by far the most relaxed and enjoyable experience. Once you push off, everything is secure, and all you can really do is savor the few moments in your life that you will spend feeling like a bird! Beautiful, beautiful view along the way :) 3. The Broken Bridge: This is a bunch of planks. You can hang on to the rope that secures you, but the point is kind of to not hold onto anything and to try and walk across this unsteady bridge stretched up about 15 ft above the ground. It was pretty fun, and I felt a lot better once I started taking a few steps on it to get used to the feeling. 4. Leap of Faith: This is the scariest, gutsiest part of the course, I think. You basically climb up a 30 ft pole, stand on the very end of it, and then jump off to try and catch a trapeze. I was really nervous about this one and it was the last one I did, but obviously, I lived to tell the tale, and I don't regret trying it out one bit. Ten-out-of-ten, would do it againnnn. The two I didn't do: 5. The Catwalk: You basically climb up and walk across a log without holding on to anything. Yes, you are still secured to a rope, haha. BUt the point is to balance and stretch your boundaries by walking across, doing jumping jacks, walking backwards--whatever you want. I didn't do this one, but a lot of my coworkers chose to walk backwards on it once they made it across the first time. 6. The Swings: This is literally a set of wooden plank swings attached to a log that you have to get across. It seemed physically intense. I didn't do this one, but a lot of people had fun with it and made it across either sitting on the planks or standing on them. As someone who is usually afraid of heights, I thought I was definitely NOT looking forward to this. The breakthrough that you reach while you go on this course, though, is its whole point. Lupe and Trinity, two of the main people running the course, are super friendly, and all of the staff are great about making you feel safe, encouraged, and welcome. Overall, the course was fantastic for helping my work team up its enthusiasm and unity during our mid-year slump, and it was nice that I ended up surprising myself (what?) with how I was able to settle my nerves and jump off of 30-foot high things with abandon....

I really appreciated the guides for their hospitality, humor, and kindness. However my main piece of feedback would be a friendly reminder that nature and outdoor recreational activities are a form of escape and respite from our every day life, so being more mindful of the topics of conversation brought up during the ride is very important to the atmosphere.

We the weather being so unpredictable we had to wait. I was fine with wait because i do value my life. I had the chance to cross off a major item from my bucket list. A hot air balloon ride and wow, what an experience! The views were absolutely breathtaking. Floating high above the landscape, seeing everything from a completely new perspective, was truly magical. The sunrise was especially beautiful as we drifted along, and the silence up there, broken only by the loud occasional burst of the burner, was unlike anything I've ever experienced. That said, there were a few things to consider. The heat from the burner can be overwhelming, especially if you're not prepared for it. I didn't wear a hat, and I really wish I had and i am short 5'2 those blasts of hot air can get pretty intense when they hit you directly! So, if you're planning this trip, definitely bring something to cover your head. The landing was a bit of a wild ride, too. The ground was much harder and more uneven than I expected, and we didn't quite know where we'd land until we were almost on top of it. Also getting in and out can be extremely challenging. It's hard climbing into and out of the basket and it's very tightly packed. Not a lot of space to move. I knew the risks going in but the whole experience was so worth it. Even with those little surprises, it was absolutely incredible. Would I do it again? Definitely not! Despite the heat and the bumpy landing, the beauty of the experience makes it all worthwhile and a one timer for me. I highly recommend it if you're looking for something unique and unforgettable to add to your list of adventures. Just don't forget your hat!

The rail follows alongside the highway so views were not necessarily 'outstanding' because I was on the train. I do not need to ride this train to see these views. I did not have to drive, that brings the rating up, but there are MANY ways to not drive in Napa. It was a little rickety, but acceptable. The food, 2/5 stars, substandard for the cost. Portions were small (half a piece of bacon, 1 small egg for a Benedict, etc.) and taste was middle of the road. The service/staff 4/5. Most everyone was very hospitable and did their job well. However, it did feel as if we were 'just another group'. Everything is very script and not especially personalized. For example, I'm on a wine train and no one asked my wine preference. Which brings me to the wine we tasted on the train 1/5. I expected a higher quality of tastings. In addition, offer a choice of flight, white or red or a mix of both. Or, hear me out...offer wine pairings for each course (included with my ticket, not for extra cost). Stopping at the sign and enjoying the tasting in the open car was a wonderful choice, wine selection is greatly lacking and to be honest, a great disappointment. Overall, I enjoyed my time, but this was not necessarily due to being on the Napa train specifically, it was because I was on vacation in Napa. I could see the business cutting costs in almost every aspect and that is unfair because I am paying a premium cost of approx. $100/h. And for some of that time, I'm at the winery and not even on the train. Which brings me to the end of my rating, for the stops 2.9/5. The stops felt rushed, especially our first stop. They are about an hour each, but this includes disembark and reembark times. I wanted a little more time at each winery to make a purchase or walk the grounds. I will not be recommending this particular experience, I believe many improvements can be made. Lastly, I booked this experience due to several social media content creators experience. These creators are getting their experiences paid for. Be sure to read ratings from those of us not being sponsored.
