The Zipline Experience and What to Expect

Action Zipline Tours is an approximately three-hour outdoor adventure that begins with an off-road journey roughly two miles into the forest. From there, participants take on nine high-speed zipline lines running down the mountain.

The course combines the excitement of zip-lining with the natural scenery of the Big Bear area. One of the highlights is a suspension bridge that provides scenic views toward Johnson Valley and the surrounding mountain landscape. The combination of multiple zip lines, forest scenery, and off-road travel makes the experience feel like a complete mountain adventure rather than a short attraction.

Because the activity takes place outdoors, weather can affect availability. It's a good idea to check current conditions and tour availability before planning your visit.

Who Can Enjoy the Experience?

Zip-lining can be a great option for families, groups, and adventure-seekers looking to add something different to their Big Bear itinerary. The experience can also work well for team-building retreats, celebrations, and group outings where everyone wants to share an active experience.

Participants should be comfortable with heights and spending several hours outdoors. If you're planning to participate, check the operator's current age, weight, health, and other participation requirements before booking.

Hours and Price Range

Tours generally take around three hours, but available departure times can vary depending on the season, weather, and current tour schedule.

Pricing depends on the tour and booking options. Since availability and rates can change, check the current schedule and pricing directly before reserving your spot. Booking ahead is also a good idea during weekends, holidays, and busy travel periods.

Location and Parking

The zipline experience takes place in the mountain and forest areas around Big Bear. Participants travel into the forest as part of the tour, including an off-road ride before reaching the zipline course.

Because this is an outdoor adventure rather than a traditional attraction in the center of town, allow additional time to arrive, check in, and prepare for the tour. Wear comfortable outdoor clothing and follow the operator's instructions regarding footwear and personal belongings.

Local Take

If you're looking for one of the more adventurous things to do around Big Bear, zip-lining is a great way to get above the forest and experience the mountains from a completely different perspective.

The combination of off-road travel, multiple zip lines, a suspension bridge, and mountain scenery makes this more than a quick zip-line ride. Plan for several hours and come prepared to spend the day outdoors. It's especially worth considering if you've already explored Big Bear's more traditional hiking, lake, and sightseeing activities and want something with a little more adrenaline.
