Our adventure was wonderful! Josh and Lucas were fantastic and funny guides. We were entertained the entire time, and it was beautiful zipping through the redwoods, as expected. I would absolutely recommend this excursion if you are looking for something fun to do. Grab a yummy bite to eat in town afterwards to sum up a really memorable day.

Such a wonderful experience! The guides were so attentive and funny, which really helped keep any nerves at ease. The views were beautiful, and everything felt well-paced from start to finish. The whole experience lasted about 2.5 hours and included 7 zip lines, which was such a fun adventure. The location can be a bit tricky to find, so I'd recommend giving yourself extra time and arriving at least 30 minutes before your scheduled tour, as they suggest.

OMG!! This was such an amazing experience. We came here for my bachelorette and had the most magical time. I can't 100% remember our tour guide names but I believe it was Aiden and Yivek (and I probably spelt those wrong). They were so funny and so knowledgeable. I loved learning about the trees and different birds while we were up on the line. The views were absolutely gorgeous and I was so grateful we got fantastic weather.

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.

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!

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!

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 came here with my work for team building. This was a great opportunity for you and your…read morecolleagues to get to know each other outside of the work place and bond as a team.

I'll start from he beginning cause there's alot to unfold in this review. We met up at the Napa Valley wine train at 5:30 am. Don't be late cause a few people were and we were waiting on them. They give you your itinerary and you sign a waiver , and the. You meet your pilot. They drove us in their vans to the take off point which was off the train track. See the video, it was amazing. I was worried that the wind might be to much fir the too lift off, but they said if they can't, they have alternative locations. Once we got I'm the air it was very smooth and very relaxing. There we about 20 people in our basket. Not alot of room, but keep in mind your not going to move around in the balloon basket . We rose up in the ir and went where the wind took us. After our pilot explained everything to us we were confident he knew what he was doing . He even took us inside a hillside where we were able to get close to some trees . Landing was pretty smooth. They picked up up with their vans and drive us back. And this is where it goes from 4 stars to 5. We purchase the champagne package which I highly recommend. We got to share a bottle of champagne with our pilot and he told us all about the first hot air ballon, which was way before airplanes , and explained to us where the name Pilot came from. Overall , it was a great end to a great experience and I highly recommend it .

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!

But once was enough…read more The Vista Dome Lunch includes a three course meal, dessert and a glass of champagne which sounds like everything Napa represents. The experience is unique and the train itself is a novelty worth appreciating at least once. Service was funny, quick and very informative , telling us about the area, they did a wonderful job handling our large party. However when I think Napa I think wine tasting hopping between venues, exploring different wineries and really immersing yourself in what the valley has to offer. So make time to do both! The Wine Train doesn't quite deliver that and the views from the dome were honestly just okay. For the price point I think the better Napa experience is booking a private driver and hitting multiple venues at your own pace. You get more wine, more variety and a fuller picture of what Napa actually is. No regrets! just a one and done for me.

But its absolutely worth the money and if you can find a big enough group to book tickets with even better. The staff is fun and knowledgeable. I appreciated the history given during the tour. It was a gloomy rainy day but I still enjoyed myself. First off the lobby area is great, check in is smooth and they have a cool 360 operator that you can take videos on! The food is upscale and could use seasoning in my opinion. But still good. You get 4 courses. Breakfast, Dinner (refer to pic of menu), a cheese course, and a Dessert course. Look - Beef or Chicken- delicious- you cant go wrong and pick the creme brulee as Dessert. If you drink wine (and i mean DRINK WINE) you will absolutely get the bang for your buck. But if youre just there for vibes maybe spring for the lesser price ticket. We stopped at 2 wineries. The last had an Italian market with snacks and sandwiches. The tours itself were informative but wouldnt say fun. Personally wish they had a later start time. The check in starts at 945a and we were done by 4:30p. I feel like my group was tired and took us a minute to get into it. It also rained. But didnt stop our group from dancing in it and the employees joined in which was amazing!! Special shout out to Nick and Alicia. They made the experience one to remember. Looking forward to coming back on a Sunny day!
