La Jolla Zip Zoom Zipline

ABSOLUTELY 5 stars! Hubbs and Sis surprised me for my birthday and it was Awesome! We went on a Monday right after a windy storm and the views were beautiful! The guides, Chad, Bianca, Luke and Marlene were great! Super caring and motivating;) it was like hanging with your family for the day! I would have never guessed that it was a newer attraction for the Reservation because they were such a well oiled machine:) I had a fantastic time and can’t wait to take my kiddos! Thanks Zip Zoom team for serving up an excellent day!

Awesome and exhilarating!!! After taking my 9 year old daughter rock climbing and she was fearless I knew she would be ready for something a little more intense! We both had a great time and it was such a bonding experience. She was the youngest in our group and didn’t chicken out! Woohoo!
Here are some of my tips below:
–try to get a group of 4 and save $$$. Group of 4 only costs $ 299 ($ 75pp) as opposed to $ 99 per person!
–use the Unilocal navigation… my car one was taking me a weird route.
–no need to get there too early as you have to wait for the entire group to arrive before you go.
–wear soft pants and layers! It was chilly when I went so I’m glad I dressed warmly. I recommend a jacket with a high neck.
–wear jacket or pants with zip up pockets to carry your phone.
–bring a GoPro! They have helmets you can use with a mount. Soooo worth it we got some priceless videos!
–wear sunglasses especially if you wear contacts like me. The wind going down will dry your eyes.
–don’t lie on the waiver about your weight ;) They weigh everyone prior.
–relax and don’t be scurred it’s such a relaxing experience.
–bring some extra cash and tip your guides!
All in all 5 star experience! Our guide Chad was phenomenal and he was so kind to my daughter. They have bathrooms (portapotty) all throughout the way but go before as once you get into your equipment it’s hard getting in n out without help. Oh and be prepared to go over the two hour time… our tour was supposed to be done at 4pm but we didn’t finish until 4:40pm. Next time I would try to book a tour that wasn’t full as there will be less waiting around after each line. The teaser aka practice line is a great way to get used to the rides. The last ride was my favorite it goes thru a tunnel of trees and over a creek! Lastly I think they should hire a photographer and sell pics! Money maker right there!

1^st time… Loved this place, loved the zip lines. Experience it all! Awesome employees.. thank you to Chad, luke, & bianca. they were awesome. SAFETY IS PRIORITY so don’t worry too much… they got your back!!! Enjoy and have fun!!!

Me and my wife came here for our anniversary. From the moment we got there we noticed how hospitable and helpful the staff were.
We were guided by Lonnie… Also known as Lonnie of the launcher! Lonnie and his staff made the two hour tour fun, exciting and extremely charming. Lonnie made The 20 minute ride to the summit enjoyable by sharing stories and folklore of his people. It was a really pleasant experience and unexpected treat learning about the California native Americans.
The zip lining itself was awesome. You do four total. The first one being a «practice run». The equipment itself is modern, top of the line zip lines, professionally made and seemed very safe.
The ride to the top is in a refurbished military 5 ton truck which brought back some old memories. Don’t forget to give Gary the old «honk your horn» arm signal for exciting treat!
I highly recommend it and it was definitely worth the price. I can’t wait to bring my kids here when they’re old enough.
Only thing I would change is make it affordable for families or maybe give a group price (that’s just cause I’m a cheap a$$). … But like I mentioned earlier it’s worth every penny.

What a beautiful day to zip line! Clear blue skies, warm temperature, low winds, good company! The team here is very welcoming, accommodating, informative, safety conscientious, and energetic. Thank you Chad, Briana, and whole crew for being wonderful people! Your company is lucky to have you as a part of their business! We will be back. With our families no less. You are the keys to a very successful smart business!

Spent Christmas Day here with my two oldest sons. Was so amazing we want back again for my step son’s 16^th birthday surprise in January. Lonnie was our guide the first time and we didn’t think it could have been any better. Chad was our guide the second time and it was just as amazing! Very personable and warm staff. Zip lines are top notch engineered and all my kids, ages 13 – 22 had a blast! They have added a cook on site so hot dogs and burgers are now available in the picnic area. If you haven’t booked a reservation, you’re missing out!

Had an excellent time zipping through the hills of the La Jolla Indian Reservation today. The staff were incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable about the surrounding area. The first one you go on is a nice, mellow practice run of sorts. Then they’ll take you up the hill in a really cool, old school military type transport truck. From there you will start your decent in the 1^st of three exhilarating stages. The longest one is almost half a mile. Definitely worth it!
Little note: Bring a little cash with you so you can tip the staff after you’re done.

Highly recommend and will definitely come back.
Professional and engaging staff From start to finish… booking to actually zip lining.
Lonnie our launcher was the best!

Loved, loved, loved! Came here with some friends for my birthday; it was our first time ever zip lining. We had so much fun! The worst part was when we finally got the hang of it (no pun intended), it was over. We’re already talking about going back and bringing other people!

Super fun experience, great for beginners. Lani the launcher was our guide that day along with 2 other ladies who were equally professional and nice; don’t forget about the truck driver who was super accommodating. Military discount applies upon booking online.
This tour was super safe; too safe for me as I have ziplined before. Great people, great experience!

My boyfriend and I went here for opening weekend and it was so much fun! Great customer service and knowledgable workers. Definitely coming back!

My first time zip lining (or as they like to call it-​flying) and ill never forget it! When we arrived we were immediately taken care of. Chad was our guide and Luke was the assistant. They were both so friendly and welcoming. They had such a laid back but professional demeanor that made the experience quite memorable.
We harnessed up and they take you on a test line which basically gives you the feel of it and gives you the chance to opt out before you go high up in the mountains. The harnesses were extremely comfortable and very safe. You don’t have to control any part of it yourself such as braking or anything.
The harnesses basically have a seat for you to sit in and when you walk up to the cable they guide you completely up and its very safe how they do everything. The ease of everything made the experience much more enjoyable.
After the test line we drove up in the big military truck way up in the mountains and you get to see so much beautiful scenery on the way. Chad told some awesome stories and actually gave us information about all the different trees, the animals, and the tribe. I really enjoyed learning about so much stuff. I enjoyed the tour guide with Chad just as much as I enjoyed flying!
I don’t want to spoil anything for all my fellow Unilocalers who are going to go check it out so I won’t go into so much detail about the flying but it really is wonderful.
Just some tips– Don’t let the noise of the braking scare you the first time– it’s pretty loud so be prepared and make sure your legs are spread apart wide when your landing or your knee can hit the cable. Also just ask Chad or Luke how to prevent yourself from turning and they will be happy to tell you!
Overall a must try! It’s very beautiful, so much fun, and all safe!

Loved every minute of this experience! Great guides who genuinely cared that you felt safe, had wonderful stories to tell, and made it so much fun. The views were spectacular. I will definitely be going back.
PS Make sure to register in advance. Not sure why you wouldn’t? They make sure the groups are smaller so everyone gets one-​on-​one with guides to feel safe, etc.

Lonnie, Monique and the whole team were fantastic. Thanks Guys, we’ll definitely be back!

This review is about the entire experience. The staff here really care about you, want you to have a good time, are concerned about your safety, and genuinely are friendly people. I think the biggest pleasant surprise for me was that I truly felt like a family friend being invited to experience what they had to offer. They were very gracious hosts.
I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, but I kind of assumed it would have a very ‘touristy’ feel. I was expecting up-​charges for a lot of the little extra stuff in an attempt to get us to spend more $. I thought they would really push the ‘GoPro’ experience to try to sell us more things or have you ‘exit through the gift shop’ so to speak. I figured they would have done the tours so many times day after day that they would be weary and monotoned in their boring safety demonstrations. I found none of these things. They even offered us free coffee at the end of the day, because everyone was shivering.
«Lonnie the Launcher» made us feel right at home. He guided us during the entire experience, from demonstrating how to wear the gear, to sharing stories & entertaining, and to actually launching us from the platforms. He and Bianca told stories while we were on the Truck ride up to the top, and shared experiences from their culture. He encouraged questions and was very open and friendly.
The weather was chilly, but everyone on the tour (14 in our group) enjoyed themselves. As long as you are here to experience the whole thing (~2hrs start to finish), take the time to soak in the views, chat with your group members, and take some photos! We were all cheering for the one really nervous girl that had trouble steering herself, and it’s the little things like that which add to the fun.
Oh, yeah. The ziplines clearly had the new technology, and the harnesses were extremely comfortable. It was a little weird walking around in them from place to place, but they felt very secure and easy to use. The launching towers were new and felt well-​built. The staff seemed well-​trained and appeared to follow protocol very well with safety checks and radio confirmations. The experience of flying through the air at 50mph was definitely cool, and something that’s hard to describe. It’s like skydiving in slow motion– you’ll just have to check it out!

The zip lines themselves are really nice. I like how they have a «practice» line first. The main three lines are nice and scenic.
However, the staff is what makes this place. Our main guide was Lonnie (the launcher). He made everyone feel at ease and gave us some fascinating history and culture of his tribe. Marlene, our other launcher, was also really friendly (she didn’t live up to her nickname, «Mean Marlene»). It is apparent that they are very safety minded.
This place is definitely worth checking out if you are visiting Solana or a local to the San Diego area.

Holding this space for an in depth review. It was an amazing experience from start to finish, beautiful environment, friendly guides with great stories, and of course, amazing zipping! My first zip line adventure. I was super nervous, but Lonny and Chad were awesome !

This was my first zip line experience and it was awesome! Beautiful views, new and comfy equipment, and everyone that worked there is fun, friendly, and professional. My friend has done many zip lines and loved this one too — it’s one of her faves.
It’s easy to book and they call to confirm the day before and provide directions and answer any questions. I would totally do it again.

Such a fun ziplining experience! The staff was very friendly and knowledgable about ziplining and the Indian reservation campgrounds especially the ones we interacted with the most, Chad and Lonney. There were high winds so unfortunately we were unable to go on the highest line but they gave us an option to reschedule or get a percentage off. I appreciated that safety was their main priority and how personable the staff was. We decided to go ahead and do it anyway and I’m glad we did. We had a blast! My favorite of the day was the last line we did that went through the trees and over the river! The only thing that I would add to the trip is maybe a photographer or timed camera to capture the action of the zipliners and make photos available for purchase at the end. But the place is fairly new so I’m sure they can add that in the future.

First time zip lining and it wasn’t really up to my expectation. Total time of zip lining is about 2 min. The rest of the 1 hour 58 min is getting to your destination or waiting for your turn to go. Not sure how zip line work at other place but this will probably the last time here.
It’s $ 100 per person, if you need a helmet with go pro mount it’s $ 5 extra (they do not provide go pro). 15 $ parking.
Could use more staff to make the process go faster as there are a total of about 5 guides that will help you through out the course. They have to move with you to each station (1 small line for practice and 3 longer line for the experience) hence the long wait time.
The staff are very friendly and helpful but their call center, not so much. Overall experience? Okay! Could be better.
