Forget about snow tubing, Zipline is the new way to enjoy the mountain. Stevie and Chowie are great tour guides; "assisted" us in canon ball, rappeling,& those scared new timers like me! HeheheTip: check their website for options, schedule your trip & dress in layers.

Great tour , I recommend Brandon and Ben. Fun tour guides. They even helped a few of us that were nervous and helped us over come it. A lot of fun ! And they took amazing photos , I bought on a flash drive , and affordable. Friendly people and great customer service if you call. I am from Texas and I cant wait to visit California again so I can do this zipline tour again. I took a few teenagers and they had a blast .

Had a wonderful time! The guides, Poe and Emily I believe, were both great. The pictures they took were great. I took a gopro and they had a mount on the helmet for me to attach it to. We went on the longer tour which was fun!It's a great way to see the mountains.

We went as a small group (4 of us) for the canopy tour and had an amazing time! I was definitely the most hesitant of the group, but ended up having a blast. Our two guides were really knowledgeable and patient, but also had a great sense of humor. We all felt really comfortable with them which made all the difference! The zips are no joke- at one point you're 30 stories-ish high and going something like 50 mph, so make sure you're ready for that kind of experience! There are a couple of rappels and a few rope bridges (oddly, the most frightening part of the tour for me), so it really is kind of an adventure.I would most definitely recommend this for anyone looking for an adrenaline rush and a fun time with a small group!Pro-tips: (1) If you're genuinely scared of heights, do everyone a favor and stay at home! Once you're on the higher platforms, I can't really imagine a way that wouldn't be terrifying to get down- so you might as well continue on through the zips! I'm a little nervous around heights usually, but this tested me.(2) The guides brought a long a camera and took photos which is cool (you can buy them at the end of the tour for various prices), but I'd recommend bringing a go-pro if you have one b/c most of our photos were blurry.

I took my 21 yer old daughter there for he first ziplinning experience. We both had a blast!!!! The zips also included two rapels down from 60 feet to 30 feet high platform and from 30 ft to the ground on another. Also three rope bridges, which to me were the most breathtaking (scary) part of the adventure. I have zipped at Big Bear, Skull Cyn in Corona, and this place. This ws the best one of the three. Do remember that you are at a higher elevation than in the LA basis and that you will be flying through the air at 30-50 mph, so dress accordingly! I would recommend a GoPro, as the photos that they take are less than ideal and you will want some memory of your trip.

We visited big pine during a work trip in early Oct. We were looking for something to do on a friday, I called them up that morning and they had a spot open for 4 of us that day. Great drive up in the mountains to the cool little town of wrightwood. We get strapped up in our gear, and a couple other people joined us. The van ride is CRAZY, sure sets the mood :) Zip lines were great and very safe, I have done zips in Costa Rica and this compared well. If you have never done this, its worth it! Cool rappelling too and some bridges to really break up the adventure. Def would recommend it to anyone in the area looking for a fun time. Hit up the restaurant across the street for a very cold beer and some amazing charbroiled burgers.

My daughter and I had a 10:20 appt on 8/5/14 and arrived before 9 because we were worried about Cali traffic. Yea for us, a couple on the 9:00am tour didn't pay attention to the warnings and we got their slot. It was fantastic and enjoyed every minute of it. We did the tour with the rapels, walking bridges and many ziplines, the last being a race to the finish - I beat my daughter because I used my abs to tuck up tight to the line. All the people in our group were fun and we talked about InNOut Burger, which we never heard of and visited after the trip. A reviewer before recommended bug spray - we didn't need it. Definitely bring your camera for pics and videos.

Had a blast! Out instructors were very friendly and funny which made the adventure even funner! Takes a few zips to learn how to brake, but after that it's so fun! Great views!! Can not wait to visit again!

Did the Big Pines Ziplines with friends and family on July 26,2014. Great long runs, marvelous course and most of all great guides. Spencer Gutchen and Ben.....were our guides. Two young men who made the course focused, fun and most of all safe. They were in control of our group and ensured everyone was comfortable and understood all the rules. When a folks were nervous about some of the obstacles they not only demonstrated the safe way to navigate but came out to "talk" people through some of the sky bridges. These two young men were very professional and should be recognized for their diligence. If your going to try out this course ask for these guys....they were great.

I recently experienced Big Pines Ziplines with my daughter as a Father's Day present. This came after I did Navitat in Asheville, North Carolina about 3 years ago. I wanted to see the difference between the two especially since I had such a great time in North Carolina. Big Pines is more exciting and faster than Navitat but the scenery in North Carolina was a lot prettier especially considering that we did it in October during a leaf change. Big Pines definately met expectations and our guides Tip and Po Hi were very knowledgeable and friendly. They make safety a big part of the operation. I never felt like my life was in danger. We had a group of 7 all together. The ride up the mountain was driven by Carlton and he made it exciting and funny at the same time. They play Top Gun music, Danger Zone and the Indiana Jones theme song on the way up. Some of the zips were extremely fast and steep. The best part was the race lines at the end. The rope bridges kind of gave me the creeps but I did want some adrenaline rushes. I did want to feel like I was a bit out of my comfort zone. Exciting to say the least. I'd highly recommend Big Pines if you are in the area. A definate bargain for the buck.

This is a great experience nestled in an beautiful forest so close to LA. Very well run outfit with some nice long distance zips. October 2011.

So fun! We had great guides that made the experience even better. Highly recommended! The guides were also our photographers and at the end we paid $45 for a jump drive with all our pictures on it. Again so fun - a definite must-do!

I took my senior Girl Scout troop (six teenagers) for the Zipline Canopy Tour. We loved that we spent most of the time in the trees; there is very little walking from line to line. The guides were amazing! They completely explained everything and made everyone feel comfortable. They also shared all kinds of info about the forest and the zipline system. You can tell they love their jobs!

This was our second time zipping with Navitat, it was amazing! The 1/4 mile zip line was crazy. I would recommend this to anyone for a great day of adrenalin rush.
