What Makes the Forest Flight Tour Sonoma’s Most Adventurous Canopy Experience

A visit to the California Redwoods invites you to wander among giants that have flourished for as many as 2,000 years. Whether you’re a new outdoor enthusiast or an experienced thrill-seeker, these behemoths warrant a closer look. The most adventurous way to accept their invitation is with the Forest Flight Tour at Sonoma Zipline Adventures.

Soaring Surprise

We thrill first-timers and thrill-seekers with multiple zipline tours, including Tree Tops, Night Flight, Remarkable Redwood, and the original Forest Flight, which is suitable for beginners through seasoned adventurers. Family members, school clubs, corporate staff, and social groups are welcome, as long as everyone is at least 10 years old and weighs between 70 and 250 pounds.

What You’ll Enjoy

Our most popular tour leads you and your group up a spiral staircase and across multiple sky bridges to the launch platform. You’ll then rush through the air on 7 exciting ziplines at speeds reaching up to 30 miles per hour. Revel in verdant scenery and the wind rushing past your body. After the last flight, you’ll get a boost of pure adrenaline as you rappel to the forest floor. The entire experience takes from 2.5-3 hours unless you opt for a full-day tour lasting 6-8 hours.

Guided Thrills

Don’t worry if you can’t tell the difference between a harness and a hand brake. Our certified zipline guides ensure that you focus on the excitement. They’ll instruct you on the best ways to use the equipment and outfit you with professional-grade gear, including a harness, helmet, and gloves. They’ll also reveal fun facts about the nature of Sonoma’s distinctive ecosystem. Follow our experts’ instructions for a safe and confident ride.

Want to relive every instant of your flight? Put a GoPro on your helmet. You’ll need to keep both hands on the handles, so you can’t take selfies with your smartphone while you’re gliding.
Depending on your tour schedule, you can eat a gourmet lunch at our elevated Treehouse Village. Cap off your day with another unique experience: an overnight stay in our rustic climate-controlled luxury treehouse. A gourmet dinner is delivered directly to your room, and in the morning, you’ll feast on farm-to-table delights from local providers.

The Forest Flight Tour can be the start of a more expansive vacation. Sample the offerings at nearby wineries, explore hiking trails, or wander the rocky beaches. For a weekend getaway, Sonoma County offers plenty to do.

What to Pack

Our advanced zipline adventures in California demand comfortable clothing, such as athletic or leisure wear, and closed-toe shoes that stay securely on your feet.
