Catalina Eco Zip Line Tours

Had Jake and Denny as our guides. They were warm and patient and really made the group feel very comfortable and safe. Jake is very knowledgeable about the island and Denny told incredibly lame but funny Dad jokes to entertain us while waiting for others. Everyone’s trolley looked new and their platforms were well maintained.

First time zip lining and loved it. Was super nervous about it, and Devon and Jake did a fabulous job explaining the safety; what to expect; how to do it; and they were super upbeat! Their enthusiasm and information made me comfortable & confident about it. I had a blast!

This was SO much fun! I highly recommend it. I’m afraid of heights and this was me conquering that fear, and I love the adrenaline rush. Our guides, Brian and Riley, were very patient with me and encouraging the whole way down, and they were giving us cool historical facts about the place at each stop. It wasn’t just a hook you up and push you down the line. In fact, all of the employees that we encountered were very nice.
I recommend bringing your GoPro with you as the views down are quite stunning, and to catch them from that perspective is quite unique.
Also, at first you might think that $ 125 is a lot just to glide down some ropes, but it’s really not. It’s completely worth it, I promise.

Had Riley Denny as tour guides… Had a blast. Loved both the guides, very informative but also made the time fun. Would definitely recommend it!

What an amazing way to cap off the weekend with the family. I went to Catalina for a wedding (that happened Saturday) and the previous day was when we arrived. Walking along the boardwalk, we saw a booth for the Eco Zip Line tour and spontaneously signed up for it… NO REGRETS!
Sunday couldn’t have some sooner. I believe we were the first tour of the day. I went with my boyfriend, his aunts, uncle, and 7 YEAR OLD cousin! We checked in/​signed waivers prior to getting fitted for our helmets and harness. After, we were given a detailed instruction on the do/​do not’s of the tour. Shortly after the instructions, we hopped on the bus where one of our guides, Denny was giving us a mini tour of Avalon on the way to where we needed to be.
Our guides Denny and Christian were AWESOME! The tour was full of puns but they most importantly made sure we were all safe and not as nervous. When we reached to where we needed to be, they again gave us instructions and made sure we were all good to go and double checked our harnesses, etc. I was scared to death of heights but i swear that the zip line tour was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had in my life. Denny and Christian also told us to do certain hand movements in order to turn our body to face Descanso Beach as we zipped through
I would definitely go on this tour again, especially with the tour guides we had! The eco zip line tour is highly recommended if you want to do something else than lay at the beach in Avalon :)

A great way to spend quality time on Catalina. Tour is well organized and a real thrill. Jake and Denny were excellent at safety and had some interesting jokes. Learned a lot about some of the ecological struggles that the island has contended with.

I’m scared to death of heights, but a friend of mine and I went to Catalina to celebrate our 60^th birthdays, and he was able to convince me to go zip lining. Our guides, Eric and Trevor, were AMAZING! They were a lot of laughs, but they were all about safety and making sure you felt secure and safe at all times. Do the early time slot, you get a little discount, and it shouldn’t be as hot. Enjoy the ride AND the view!

Fun! The two guides were informative about the island and also about the zipline adventure. Supportive and helped ease any fears. Thanks for a great time.

Awesome! Much better zip lines than expected. Guides Deny and Thomas were very informative about the island flora and fauna and history, and also very funny. We lucked out and had a small group, so the pace was quick. Five stars all the way.

Zipping along high on the hilltops and watching the sunset along the shore of Catalina Island is a breathe-​taking sight. Having fun guides like Brandi & Scott adds to the fun with the reassurance of safety. For $ 130 per person, including the boat ride from Long Beach is Catalina is worth the day trip.

I really loved this adventure. At first time I was afraid about the heights but the instructors were so nice and helped out to face my fear. Excellent price, I recommend to everyone!

We did the night time zip line tour… it was GREAT! Our instructors Jake and Nina were top notch… they were fun, informative and super… We have never zip lined at night and wasn’t sure what to expect… the first line was a bit scary because it was pitch black but what an adrenaline rush! i had a Total Knee replacement in Feb and was a bit concerned about the transition getting off of the line, but Jake and Nina said not to worry and they even helped me up on the box and off… A+++++ for sure!!!

My husband and I recently visited Catalina Island with two things in mind: great food and this zip line tour.
All I can say is: Wow! I am terrified of heights but by the time I stepped off the landing for my second line, I was a pro. Thanks to two of the most knowledgable and fun tour guides ever! Thank you Manny and Ariel. They were both so laid back and professional. The tour stated the moment that they helped us into the harnesses. Which btw are three carabiners strong with a trolley system. Can we say safe?!
I had let them know about my nervousness and Manny was great at calming my nerves without singling me out like a step child. I appreciate you Mr. Manny.
The tour itself was breath taking. The views, the photo ops and all the storytime were second to none. By the time we got to our last line; everyone in group was striking poses and doing tricks!
The only complaints are:
A) the camera at the last line almost never worked. Half our group didn’t get a photo.
B) the tour is almost perfect but they NEED a zip line
from the mountain, over the ocean to the Casino!!! Please make this happen.
Also, everyone relieves a 10% off voucher after the tour to be used at most places on the island. We used ours to rent a golf cart. #Bonus

Zip line was one of my ‘bucket list’ items and thanks to Justin and his assistant (sorry I didn’t remember his name) now I’ve done it and it was a lot of fun! These guys are real pros and every detail is explained… I felt confident that every safety item was triple checked, and I really felt the $ 125.00 per person price was a excellent value for over 2 hours of fun. A must do!

The reviews didn’t lie. What an amazing experience. From start to finish it was safe, fun, relaxing and memorable. I don’t like heights and it’s very easy to adjust and enjoy the experience even with a bit of fear roaming in your head. Sam and Ray were great hosts and left nothing up to the imagination regarding information that you need to have. We even saw deer!

Super fun! They are totally all about safety and the groups experience. I went with my boyfriend and we had a great time as well as the families that were there. Learned a little bit about the ecosystem of the island (but they kept it interesting.) All in all a great experience. I would recommend to anyone traveling to Catalina.

SUCH AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE!
Me and my fiancé went on Aug. 24 for his 30^th birthday. I was able to purchase and reserve our spots a few weeks in advance.
Elena and C. Lux we our tour guides. They were awesome! I love Elena’s super chill and laid back funny personality. She was extremely knowledgeable of the zip line guidelines but also about the island itself. They both were very friendly and helpful.
There were 5 lines zigzagging from the top of the mountain down to Descano Beach.
The first line was the shortest but had our hearts and chests pumping ! It was so exhilarating!!! After that we felt so comfortable jumping off the platform. It was about 2 hours long but I could have done it all day long! At the last line, they have a camera take your picture in action and you have the option of purchasing it if you like it.
Definitely something to experience at your stay on Catalina!!!
