Beautiful views , good instructions, and guides gave hints to make it more fun ! Takes your breath away 😄
All the employees were super nice! From the base camp employees at the desk, checking us in and the two guides that we had made us feel welcome and safe the whole time and included us in conversation beyond the normal tour.
Everything as great! The course itself(!), the sign up process, the instructions and esp the guides. They were great.
"Over the top fun" is right! Glad everything hit the mark — from booking to the safety briefing to the actual flight. Our guides take a lot of pride in making the Zipline Tour at Highline Adventures an incredible experience from start to finish, so hearing they stood out means a lot. If you loved soaring across 7,500+ feet of dual ziplines over the Santa Ynez Valley, come back and try the Adventure Park next — 65+ aerial challenges up in the oak tree grove, right here in Buellton near Santa Barbara. Thanks for the 5 stars!
It’s so much fun, the staff are great and they make it so enjoyable. They had water at every stop and explained what cool things were around as well
Samantha, that's what our guided Zipline Tour is all about! Our guides don't just clip you in and send you flying — they walk you through the whole Santa Ynez Valley landscape along the way, pointing out the vineyards, mountains, and wildlife you're soaring over. And yes, staying hydrated matters when you're out on 7,500+ feet of dual ziplines in the California sun! Glad the team made it a great day at Highline Adventures. If you're ever back in Buellton near Santa Barbara, bring the crew for the Adventure Park — 65+ aerial challenges through our oak tree grove, completely self-guided so you explore at your own pace. Thanks for the 5 stars!
I planned to take my boyfriend zip lining for his birthday! We had such a great time. We felt safe and secure the whole time. Our guides Daniel and Britany were so fun and helpful. We had great conversations with them and they truly made the experience a lot more fun! I would highly recommend trying out the zip lines! Thank you!
Happy birthday to your boyfriend — a Zipline Tour at Highline Adventures is one of the best ways to celebrate! So glad you both felt safe and secure the whole time — that's our number one priority, and it lets you focus on the fun of soaring side by side on our 3 dual ziplines over the Santa Ynez Valley. Daniel and Britany are awesome — the kind of guides who turn a great experience into an unforgettable one. Those conversations between the lines are honestly what makes our guided zipline tour in Buellton different from anything else near Santa Barbara. When you're looking for the next celebration, check out our Adventure Park — 65+ challenges through the oak tree grove, plus our Sunset and Moonlight Zipline tours are perfect for a date night. Thanks for choosing Highline Adventures for the birthday, Lianne!
So fun and great for kids and adults alike!! I have a fear of roller coasters, but there was no drop, just a great feeling of flying and freedom. I live near by and can’t wait to go again!
Christine, "flying and freedom" — you nailed it. That's exactly what our Zipline Tour feels like, and we hear it all the time from guests who are nervous about roller coasters or heights. There's no stomach drop on our dual ziplines — just a smooth, incredible ride soaring over the Santa Ynez Valley with views for miles. Love that you're local! Our neighbors are some of our favorite guests at Highline Adventures. Next time you visit us outside of Solvang, try the Adventure Park — 65+ aerial challenges up in the oak tree grove at your own pace. And keep an eye out for our Moonlight Zipline under the full moon — it's a completely different experience after dark. See you soon, neighbor!
The nerves will get you at the first line, which Is the longest in the state, but once you get going you just feel like you’re flying and you can take in the gorgeous views. After that the rest of the lines are just fun and exciting, especially the last line, which is the steepest and the fastest in the state. Our guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and made it a great experience.
Susan, that first line gets everyone! But here's the secret — you don't even have to jump. Our guides release you so you don't have to do a thing except enjoy the ride. Before you know it, you're soaring 3,360 feet across the longest zipline in California and wondering what you were ever nervous about. And then the last line hits you with the steepest, fastest ride in the state to close it out. That's how we designed the Zipline Tour at Highline Adventures — all the thrill, none of the pressure. Glad our guides made it such a great experience. That's the beauty of a fully guided tour — they handle everything so you can focus on the gorgeous Santa Ynez Valley views below. Next time you're near Santa Barbara, come back to Buellton and try the Adventure Park — 65+ aerial challenges through the oak tree grove at your own pace. See you out here!
Highline adventures has something for everyone and incredible staff and owners. It is one of the best things to do in the valley and was much needed!
Tracy, "Just go!" might be the best two-word review we've ever gotten. Hearing that Highline Adventures is one of the best things to do in the Santa Ynez Valley means a lot — especially the shout-out to our staff and owners. We put everything into making this place special for every guest who visits us in Buellton. And you're right — we really do have something for everyone: the Zipline Tour with 3 dual ziplines and 7,500+ feet of cable, the Adventure Park with 65+ challenges in the oak tree grove, the Skynet Playground for the little ones, and even a Sunset Zipline for date night. Come back anytime — we'll be here!
This is really a fun place, both, the Adventure Course Trek my children enjoyed immensely, and the zipline the views are crazy, it is like you are in a different planet, the crew was vary helpful, I was there with my 4 children, and they made sure that everyone has fun and is taken care of, the most scary and fun part is going up the hill with the jeep, this is one of our best trips that we ever was on, will definitely come back again.
Yoel, bringing 4 kids and calling it "one of our best trips ever" — that's the dream! We love hearing your family experienced both the Adventure Park and the Zipline Tour at Highline Adventures in one visit. That's the way to do it. "Like you are on a different planet" is the perfect way to describe those views — soaring over the Santa Ynez Valley on our 3 dual ziplines, you really do forget where you are for a minute. And ha — the 4x4 ride up the hill is half the adventure! Our guides love watching the reactions on that one. So glad the crew took care of your whole family. Highline Adventures in Buellton is built for exactly this — kids having the time of their lives while the parents do too. When you come back, check out the Skynet Playground for the little ones and the Moonlight Zipline for yourself — soaring under a full moon over wine country is a whole different experience. See you all again soon!
Great staff and awesome views! They weren't kidding about it being the fastest zipline in California!
Jackson, we don't kid around when it comes to speed! California's biggest and fastest ziplines are right here at Highline Adventures — 7,500+ feet of dual cable across 3 lines where you soar side by side over the Santa Ynez Valley. Glad the team and the views lived up to the hype. Next time you're in Solvang near Santa Barbara, come back for the Adventure Park — 65+ aerial challenges through the oak tree grove, completely different vibe but just as much fun. Thanks for the 5 stars!
