Ziplining experience adventure in Big Bear California

It is such an incredible feeling to glide through the air held up by some rope (that holds the weight of more than one elephant). California doesn’t have too many places where you can zipline, and Big Bear, as of about a year ago, is open to business. During the winter you can fly through the snow-capped trees and mountains – although it can get a little… chilly. The adventure isn’t limited to flying from one tree to the next, but also includes a fantastic ride in a real pinzgauer. This one really makes you feel like you are in the wilderness somewhere.

One of the best parts of this is that it’s an all day event for under $100. Actually, the retail price is $95 and you can currently get it for $93 on Kijubi (and probably cheaper if you can find a discount code somewhere on the web).

Check out all the details on our Big Bear Ziplining Tour page.

Here are a couple of shots of us ziplining – look mom, NO HANDS! :)

A Wild Time – Kijubi Running with Wolves?

Check this out for a memorable way to celebrate:

A couple of Kijubi customers celebrated their anniversary and a birthday in style when they took part in our Running with Wolves Hummer Tour in Palm Springs.  On the tour, guests are taken to the only place on Earth where you can actually interact with wolves.

Keith Elderkin said of the experience, “…we were amazed by the whole experience, it really made a special end to our holiday to get so close to the wolves, my wife was completely overwhelmed.
THANK YOU!

It’s not surprising really, as this tour has been featured on the Travel Channel, the Today Show, in Conde Nast Traveler, the Los Angeles Times and a wealth of other publications around the globe.  Other accolades include being awarded Attraction of the Year by the Palm Springs Desert Resorts Convention and Visitors Authority.

Perhaps why this particular tour has proven so popular is the attention to detail and the extra mile owner, Mark Farley, always takes for guests.  For the Elderkins’ special occasion, Mark provided two beautiful gift bags with mugs, aqua clips, cookies, a wolf statue, candy and more.  To top it off, he added two helium balloons, tied to each bag – one saying “HAPPY BIRTHDAY” and the other, “HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!”  Awww, what a guy!

To ensure our customers get only the very the best, Kijubi sends guests to the original Palm Springs Hummer tours; the only tours using authentic Hummers.

The Hummers provide luxurious air-conditioned comfort – what a way to see parts of the California wilderness that most people will never get to experience!  In fact, I think it’s about time the Kijubi Girls try it out…

Kijubi Canyoneering?

Canyoneering - definitely one of Kijubi’s most popular activities and one for which we continually get rave reviews.

All summer we’ve been getting amazing feedback about this fast growing sport that has only become widely popular in the USA in the last few years.  One such glowing report came from a Kijubi partner, SCOA (Southern California Outdoors Adventurers) when they took 13 adventure-seeking Los Angelinos out to try their hand at scaling rock faces and rappelling down waterfalls.

Kijubi customers’ comments on canyoneering included:

When I posted the pictures of canyoneering to facebook I was baraged with comments like.. you lead the coolest life of anyone I know.” This event ROCKED for those of us with beginner climbing skills for whom it was a real adventure to rappel, etc! ”.

“So much fun and excitement.  MUST do activity; experience of a life time!”

“Awesome time.  The guides, people, weather, experience – all worked together in perfect harmony and then I went and had yogurt.  What a perfect day.  Canyoneering is FUN!”



The guides where great, very knowledgeable and always emphasized safety.”

“It will be hard to top this adventure. Thanks.”

“Great event, gorgeous weather, great people… rappelling underneath the waterfall was definitely a highlight.”

With reviews like that, what are you waiting for?  Now it’s your turn… Kijubi canyoneering?


About SCOA: After first trying out canyoneering in July, Kijubi’s partner, SCOA, has hit the mountains several times this summer, bringing back group after group as demand for canyoneering continued. SCOA unites like-minded activity seekers to try out new and unusual outdoors activities.  So, for those of you who like the idea of trying canyoneering but are a bit short of fun folks to go with, SCOA is a great resource for you to be able to meet new friends and try exciting activities.  Check out what they have on here and, of course, if you don’t see your favorite Kijubi activity on their calendar, let them (or us!) know so we can get it set up!

Time to plan for 2009 Fishing trips in California

It’s that time again folks. Time to start scheduling your 2009 fishing trips. The months of May to September are always popular and sell out rather quickly. We have trips departing from Dana Point (half-day fishing charter, full day fishing charter) and Newport Beach (half-day fishing charter, full day fishing charter, twilight fishing trip).

  • May & June fishing trips to Catalina Island are excellent. Fish include calico bass, barracuda, and bonito. Also, some of the largest yellowtail of the season are caught during this time. Overnight trips to San Clemente Island are also available. All of these trips include live quid to be used as bait for big white sea bass and large yellowtail.
  • August & September fish include yellowtail, albacore tuna, yellowfin tuna, bluefin tuna, dorado, and more. Lengthy trips should be booked well in advance, as these are the hottest fishing months of the season.
  • October can sometimes be the perfect month to go fishing. Many people think the fishing is not as good, therefore there is more availability. The Cortez Bank brings in some of the largest yellowtail.

If you want to try something really different, you can try out our Kayak fishing in Newport Beach.

We also have fishing in Ft. Lauderdale as well.

Enjoy, and as always, if you need help booking your Fishing trips, give us a call (even if what you want is not on our website, we can set it up for you!). Our number is 888-Kijubi-7.

Another trip to Havasupai Falls….

There are some who’ve been anticipating a write up about my backpacking trip to Havasupai Falls, and I’m sorry to report that I couldn’t make the trip this year. The others did make the trip and had a blast, as expected. Here are some pics to share with you (I can’t believe I missed this), and I hope to share my version of this adventure with you sooner than later.  Enjoy!
