4.00Alexis was rude to us when we checked in. She's in the wrong business. One star off for Alexis. When driving from their office to the zipline site, starting in November, there can be ice on the roads and you might need chains. One of the three cars driving out spun out and ended up on a snow bank on the wrong side of the road. The guides, Riley and ?, were awesome! Very safety conscious, meticulous, and helpful.
Not friendly. Do not get the video add on!

1.00⭐ 1 Star – Very Disappointing Experience We went on an adventure with Action Tours in Big Bear and decided to rent a GoPro from them for $49 (tax included) so we could record the whole experience. What they never told us was that the SD card only holds about 45 minutes of video… even though the tour lasts 3 hours. Because of that, the camera ran out of space before we even really started, and we didn’t get to record the full experience at all. When I called afterward to explain the issue, the staff was extremely rude. They basically said, “You rented a GoPro to get a video, and you got a video,” and refused to take any responsibility. They made it clear they don’t do refunds, even though they never told us about the recording limit in the first place. Overall, the adventure itself is just okay — you get what you pay for, nothing extra. But the unprofessional and rude staff completely ruined it for us. Definitely do NOT recommend renting the GoPro, and honestly the customer service alone makes it hard to recommend Action Tours at all.
Thrilling

1.00This was the most unprofessional experience I’ve ever had as a travel. Not only did the owner not show up for the appointment, but they use some lame excuse they would not have to come. They were very unprofessional did not show up for the appointment and did not communicate. I would never use this company again and be careful not to pay them in advance because you will not get your money back. We drove nearly 2 hours to get to their office and no one ever showed up.
It was so AWESOME I am already thinking of when to go back.

5.00Well organized (brief, equipment, transportation) and pleasant guides. Driving to and from the zipping area is about 40-50 min (they drive you). Zipping was enjoyable and answered out expectations
One fabulous adventure.
