Ziplining in Southern California
You’re gliding among the treetops, the biting air rushing past your face. You look down at the mountain below you, and the bright, glittering sky above and you wonder if this is how birds feel. Then you realize you’re going much faster than the average bird soaring on the Big Bear breeze. You’ve got gravity on your side. You’re ziplining.

Big Bear zipline tours are the most exciting way to experience Big Bear year-round, weather permitting. The three hour tour includes an off-road ride two miles into the forest in our safari jeeps, with nine high-speed zipline runs that run down our mountain for the most avid thrill-seekers. A beautiful suspension bridge with stunning views of Johnson Valley as a backdrop, Big Bear ziplining tours is truly an adventure. Our all-inclusive tour is outdoor recreation at its best, and its most exclusive.

So whether you’re planning a team-building retreat for a large group, or you’re looking for something new to try with your family, ziplining in Big Bear is the perfect way to spend your day in the mountains.

The ONLY County Permitted Zipline Tour in the Inland Empire
When looking for a thrill, you want to make sure you're in good, safe hands. Many of the "companies" you'll come across are not licensed or permitted to operate these kinds of activities, but rest assured, WE ARE. Action Zipline Tours is the ONLY Zipline Tour in San Bernardino County that has a "PERMIT TO OPERATE" from the county.

What this means to the public is that all of our platform structures have been built to San Bernardino County Building and Safety Codes. All of our ziplines have been built and certified by an ACCT Accredited builder. Safety always comes first, then fun!
