Ziplining in Sedona: Five Lines Over Wildlife
Ziplining in Sedona: Five Lines Over Wildlife★★★★★★★★★★ 4.92 (251)2hZip line over Out of Africa Wildlife Park near Sedona on five separate lines and a rope bridge, guided by a local expert, over a 2-hour span. You climb a 75-foot platform, then travel above the park's lions, tigers, bears, zebras, giraffes and rhinos, finishing on the Racing Raptor—a 1,200-foot triple zip that makes up the bulk of the route. Groups stay under 12 unless special arrangements are made. Children from age 8 are welcome; weight must fall between 60 and 270 pounds.Is it for me?Two hours is short enough to pair with other Sedona activities the same day, but long enough that you're not rushing through the lines or the platform setup. If you want a morning or afternoon slot that leaves the rest of your day open, this fits; if you're looking for a full-day adventure with multiple destinations, you'll want something longer.Instant confirmationMost bookedfromUS$ 120View ›
