What a fantastic experience with Action Tours Zipline Big Bear! Reservations and scheduling were seamless for a 1:00 PM tour. Arrived a little early and were greeted by Zach and weighed in. After a brief safety video we were transported by Brett to the zipline area, about a 20 minute drive through some gorgeous country. Brett, gave us information about the surrounding area and some of the notable landmarks. Upon arrival at the zipline area we were greeted by Jules, our driver and photographer for our elevated adventure. We slowly made our way up into the zipline area through the San Bernardino National Forest. Once at the zipline station we were greeted by Draeden and Jordan, our zipline guides. We got geared up, given a safety briefing and Draeden demonstrated the first (short) zipline for the group. As each member of the group got hooked onto the steel zipline cable the look on everyone’s face was priceless and the smile widened as we each pushed off, flying through the trees. As you came into each successive zipline tower you are always hooked to a cable or steel loop on the tower. The manner in which Draeden and Jordan were able to do this with our group was like a Swiss watch. No one ever felt pressured and the safety consciousness of our guides was second to none. As we made your way through nine (9) ziplines the views were incredible and Jules took pictures of our group the whole time. After the 7th zipline, there’s a quick water break and the final two ziplines are their longest and fastest ziplines. During the Fall they do a pumpkin smash on the weekends whereby you’re given a small pumpkin and you can drop it while flying across the two longest ziplines. There are marked targets on the ground. Because it was only Thursday, Jordan grabbed pine cones for everyone to give it a try. What a blast trying to hit a target while suspended 80 feet in the air flying at speeds of 35-40 mph. Once we completed the tour we were taken back to the van and enjoyed the leisure drive back Action Tours home office. Within a few minutes we were given tablets to view the photos Jules took of everyone during the tour. We came up to Big Bear for my son’s birthday trip and the memories we created will last a lifetime. Thank you Zach, Brett, Jules, Draeden and Jordan you all made our first full day in Big Bear awesome. – via
