Zipline Through The Redwoods With Sonoma Canopy Tours

Now you can zipline through the Redwoods with Sonoma Canopy Tours. People come from all over the world to stroll through the majestic Redwoods of Northern California but why walk through the Redwoods when you can fly through them thanks to Sonoma Canopy Tours .

Located in the heart of Sonoma County , about 90 minutes north of San Francisco and just outside of the quaint town of Occidental, awaits this unique opportunity with one of the foremost zipline experiences bar none and they are ready and waiting to give you bucket list experience like no other as you zipline through the redwoods with Sonoma Canopy Tours.

This high adventure family-friendly tour through the treetops and beyond is not exhilarating but educational.  The unique course is compromised of 7 ziplines, 2 sky bridges, a magnificent spiral staircase, and a rappel back to the forest floor. One of the ziplines is over 800 feet long giving you panoramic forest views and deep ravines that cannot be rivaled anywhere.

Your tour starts at the base of the mountain where you are greeted by the special team of the Guides for Sonoma Canopy Tours all of whom have been carefully selected and well trained to handle any of your safety concerns. After a short ride up the hill, your guides will take you through a series of safety training, fit you with your gear, and then you’ll take your turn on the practice zip line to ensure that you feel comfortable for the adventure of a lifetime that awaits you.

Tip: The guides are there to help you work through any special challenges that you might be faced with so if, for example, you happen to be zipping the day before your knee replacement surgery, they will work with you to ensure you have a safe yet fun experience so don’t let that deter you.

Once you’ve passed safety training, it’s time to load up in the truck and go! You’ll be driven right up to the platform of the first zipline and from there, you’ll quite literally fly from tree to tree to tree. The ziplines become progressively longer with each of the 8 stages.

Tip: Unlike other zip lines you may have experienced in other parts of the country or even throughout the world, there are no stairs to climb with Sonoma Canopy Tours. In fact, I thought every zipline was like this one until I went to the Dominican Republic and discovered that to reach the platforms there, it required a 6-10 story climb up to each line.

Sonoma Canopy Tours is completely unlike anything you’ve ever experienced. There are two unique courses, each a two-and-a-half hour Guided eco-tour that include multiple zip lines, sky bridges, a majestic spiral staircase, and my favorite part, the rappel to the forest floor, but with each, you are immersed in the unparalleled beauty of the world-famous California Coastal Redwoods.

Tip: I highly recommend renting one of the helmet cams they offer to capture your entire experience. Also, don’t forget your camera, as you will want to remember these views for many years to come.

Tip: This is the perfect experience for the entire family and on the last tour I did we had a family with 4 generations from Germany all making a lifetime of memories together.

There are three distinct flights that you can take:

The CLASSIC COURSE   (DAY FLIGHT)

A zipline lets the magic of gravity do all the work. Fitted with a specially-designed harness, you’ll reach speeds of up to 25 miles per hour on our fastest zips. On other elements of the course, you can savor breathtaking views of the majestic Redwood forest at a leisurely pace. Enjoy our same great Classic Course after the sunsets! Along with the thrill of zipping quietly through the nighttime forest, you’ll view the night sky, moon, and stars from our treetop platforms.

CHALLENGER COURSE

This includes more zips and other great elements are added but with all the fun of the classic and is undergoing enhancements but will reopen in time for Memorial Weekend.

NIGHT FLIGHTS   (CLASSIC COURSE AT NIGHT)

The Night Flight allows you to enjoy the same Classic Course after the sunsets! Along with the thrill of zipping quietly through the nighttime forest, you’ll view the night sky, moon, and stars from our treetop platforms guided only by the light of the stars.

Sonoma Canopy Tours offers two great experiences and allows you to save some money at the same time. Here’s the perfect way for you to book their Classic Course earlier in the day, grab a meal in nearby Occidental and then come back and see the Redwoods and the night sky from our platforms! It just doesn’t get any better than that.

Tip: Zipline tours go rain or shine! Because the weather tends to be on the coolers side when you’re surrounded by the Redwoods, Wear comfortable clothes, and closed-toed shoes that are secure to your foot (such as tennis shoes) or hiking boots are great year-round. Long hair should be pulled back in a ponytail and make sure you secure your glasses with a strap they ask that you not wear skirts or dresses.   You’ll also want to keep your pockets free of any sharp objects, like keys or pens. They provide secure storage for all of your valuables in the Gift Shop so no need to worry about where to put your purse.

Rider Requirements for all courses:

• Each rider must be 10 years of age or older
• Riders age 10–15 MUST have an adult accompanying them through the entire course
• Minimum weight 70 pounds
• Maximum weight is 250 pounds
• No Pregnant riders

Special Prices   for Children (ages 10 to 17) and Seniors (age 59 and better)!   Children’s prices begin at $69 and Senior’s prices begin at $89 for weekdays.

Whether you’re looking to check off an item from your Bucket List or you’re in search of a unique way to experience the majesty of the Redwoods, the next time you’re in Northern California, make sure you have Sonoma Canopy Tours at the top of your list. Why walk through the Redwoods when you can soar through them!  To book your flight, head over to Sonoma Canopy Tours but don’t wait to book-tours fill up quickly!

• K4461JAchristinew 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Majestic and Fun! My adult-aged kids and I took the Forest Flight Zipline Tour and had an incredible time. Bruce and Sebastian were fun, funny, friendly, and our safety was their number one priority. They fully explained the rules, procedures and use of the equipment. They both did safety checks on our harnesses before our first zip. The forest was majestic, breath-taking and peaceful. I can't wait to try another tour with Sonoma Zipline Adventures.

Really, this was my boyfriend’s and my first time ever Zip lining and they were super encouraging and just made myself and my boyfriend feel super comfortable being 250ft off the ground. They’re awesome, if you ever get a chance to zip line here I hope you get Angel and Jared as your guides. The place is beautiful and we learned a lot thanks to them! Read more Written March 4, 2024

Kept us laughing helped my fears. My daughter wants to go back. We did the fast one with 7 zip lines, walkways and would do it again. Took hours but did not feel like it. Well worth the money. Thank you guys!!! Read more Written January 29, 2024
• packlight2019 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Great rainy morning experience Fantastic experience - even in the rain. The guides were kind, funny, and informative and took our safety seriously. Our group included adults and children ages 10 and 13 and we all had a great time. It was quiet and beautiful up in the trees. And then exhilarating on the Ziplines! Read more Written January 7, 2024
• machband 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Ziplining in the redwood forest rain or shine is an absolute BLAST! We have ziplined in Costa Rica (Arenal rain forest -2010), New Zealand (Adrenaline Forest 2009), Maui (Wailuku, Hawaii 2016), and Oahu (Kahuku, Hawaii 2021). They are all fun and beautiful and the different landscapes are breath-taking. The experience at Sonoma Ziplines raised the bar even further - the redwood forest ziplines at Sonoma Ziplines are amazing - we had rain and fog and while at first that sound like a negative, it added so much more the the adventure. We had ziplining going through fog and rain - it was a total BLAST. The guides Bruce and Dan were fun and upbeat and simply enhanced the experience. We did this as a birthday gift to my sister-in-law and her boyfriend and they described it succinctly as 'over-the-top'. I highly recommend Sonoma Zipline adventures!

• W279TGgs 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles An Excellent Adventure This was an excellent adventure! Everyone was so kind and supportive and knowledgeable about zip lining, the forest, and the trees. I was scared to go ziplining, but the team made me feel safe and guided me through the course with fun and encouragement. The views were incredible. If you want to see a redwood forest in a new and beautiful way, Sonoma Zipline Adventures is the place to go. 100 out of 10 stars! Read more Written November 11, 2023

• Relax61763219275 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Wonderful. Wow! I am still on a high from yesterday's Tree Tops adventure (pun intended). At the beginning, I was nervous, but the beauty of the forest and the fun of zipping quickly put me at ease. I was very impressed with the processes that ensured our safety and the care by our guides, Aidan and Dan, to keep us safe; even though there was much laughter and talking, our guides were ALWAYS focused on the equipment. Our group developed a fast camaraderie, which was really nice. Being up in those peaceful treetops was incomparable, and I plan to go again in future. I highly recommend, *as long as you are comfortable with heights*. This is not for the meek, but if you are feeling brave, it is so worth it. Read more Written October 24, 2023
• Joelle M 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Awesome experience! My husband and I went to the Sonoma in Zipline Adventures for our 10 year anniversary and couldn’t be happier. We had an amazing time. We stayed in the treehouse and it was awe-inspiring to be able to zip line from right outside of your room. There are 14 zip lines in total; we did seven the day we arrived and seven the following day. There were also suspension bridges, spiral staircases, and a chance to repel down at the end. It was an overall amazing experience. Josh, Sebastian and Brady were our tour guides. They did amazing, and I highly recommend requesting one or two of them. Josh was our lead guide and was extremely informative. We learned so much about the forest and the redwoods We also learned a few things about the Bible. This is a nonprofit Christian-based business. There are Bible verses spread throughout the park and inspirational quotes as well. We did a scavenger hunt and walked a trail to wander and ponder. The treehouse it’s self was beautiful and very clean. It had a toilet and running water. The bed was pretty comfortable, as well as the pillows. As soon as we finished our first round of zip lines, and headed into our treehouse, there was a delicious charcuterie board waiting for us. They also had games and a deck of cards that we got to keep as souvenirs. My husband and I brought our own bottle of wine and drink that as we wandered the property and waited for dinner. Overall, it was an amazing experience, and I highly recommend going. Read more Written October 9, 2023

• ozelle2023 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Super fun!! I did the Forest Flight tour with my mom, neither of us had been ziplining before so we wanted to start off with the “easier” one. It was SO much fun!! Omg. The views were incredible. The weather was great, it was sunny most of the time but we also got a little rain at the end which made it super magical! Our guides were Josh and Dan and they were both hilarious and awesome! They made the whole experience extra fun! We will definitely be going back to do the Tree Tops tour and the nighttime tour!

• SDC232014 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Wonderful experience! We had a fantastic time here & would definitely recommend it to anyone thinking of trying it. The treehouses are just great, very comfortable with lovely furniture and decor. There is water, electricity & a toilet in your treehouse and you are provided with a flask of boiling water to make drinks, along with bottled water & snacks. Make sure you follow the rules on packing, you can only take a small bag which they will take up to your treehouse while you are on the course. The ziplining is fantastic fun & the staff are all wonderful. I was really nervous to begin with but by the 3rd zipline I really started to enjoy it. If you are staying overnight you have an afternoon of ziplining before walking up to your treehouse & then more zip lines the following morning. Staff are all so knowledgeable and throughout the stay told us about the forest, types of trees and surroundings. Food was really good, dinner was excellent and we couldn't eat all the breakfast there was so much. It's all brought to your treehouse & was delicious. We packed a bottle of wine to enjoy under the stars - no alcohol is served but you can bring a bottle if you want. Sitting out on the deck listening to the sound of the forest & star gazing at night was amazing. The stay was a highlight of our holiday & we loved every minute of it.

• Allyson S 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Better than you can even imagine! My daughter and I had a once-in-a-lifetime experience here. We were able to stay in one of the treehouses overnight, which was epic just on its own: beautiful charcuterie board waiting for us when we arrived, delicious gourmet dinner, soft, comfortable beds, superb breakfast, free books about stewarding our forests and faith - literally every detail was attended to. But our guides... Brian and Hannah. They are what made this trip so memorable, and without sounding overly dramatic, made such an impression on our hearts that we will carry our time ziplining through the forest as a "Top One" memory for a lifetime. Frankly, the ziplining was almost incidental to our conversations and opportunity to connect; there was a ton of collective knowledge that Brian and Hannah shared about the local flora - and the Route 66 signs absolutely made each deck landing extra special as we read each chapter and verse out loud. This is an extraordinary place, and worth every penny - the memories you'll make are priceless. Read more about the Redwood Alliance when you can - a much-needed and worthy stewardship both of faith, and our forests. And - if you're lucky enough to get Brian or Hannah as your guide(s), please tell them hi for us! Read more Written August 7, 2023

The 2 guides were very entertaining during our adventure. The entire place is a class act. It may have taken me too long to visit the first time but I will surely visit again soon. They have two different courses so I must try them both. Read more Written June 30, 2023
