The Stomach-Dropping Canopy Walk You Can Only Find In Northern California
Not many people are aware that Northern California is home to an incredible canopy walk. It’s a breathtakingly beautiful experience—unless you’re absolutely terrified of heights, that is. Luckily for those of us who are a little nervous about leaving the ground behind, however, this guided canopy tour is 100% safe for all participants.
At Sonoma Canopy Tours in Occidental, you will be completely immersed in the coastal redwoods. Life doesn’t get much better than that, does it?
This is an experience like no other. You can choose between two different routes through the forest's canopy. Each option features a two-and-a-half hour guided eco tour that includes multiple zip lines, sky bridges, a majestic spiral staircase, and a rappel to the forest floor.
When you first arrive and check in, your guide will get you geared up with all the appropriate safety equipment. From there, you will practice on a small course before beginning your climb up into the surrounding trees.
The adventure is perfect for youth groups (they have a spirituality component to their trips), company retreats, birthdays, and other groups looking for unique adventure in the great outdoors.
Some people travel the world over to places like Costa Rica and Australia to experience a canopy tour and zip line experience like this one. How cool is it that we have something like this right here in Northern California?
Guests also learn about the environment that they are climbing and zooming through as part of the trip. The guides educate guests about the uniqueness of the Coastal Redwood eco-system and share facts about the forest.
All in all, it's an unforgettable experience that you will think back on the rest of your life. Sign up today for your bird's-eye view of Sonoma county.
