In San Luis Obispo County, enjoying the outdoors is a way of life—and for good reason.
The landscapes couldn’t be more inviting, with beaches and mountains and wide-open vistas all reachable within miles of each other. The weather is almost always accommodating, too. In short, SLO County is a dream destination for getting outside and enjoying nature.
That’s where Margarita Adventures comes in. Since 2011, we’ve created the Central Coast’s ultimate playground, and we offer two very different ways to get outside—one through the air and the other on two wheels. If you’re looking for the best outdoor adventures in SLO County, look no further.
Ziplines: See the Central Coast from a Whole New Perspective
There’s exploring nature, and then there’s flying through it!
Our Zipline Adventure Tours offer you the chance to soar high above the scenic Santa Margarita Ranch, a land of rugged California beauty. Our six distinct ziplines send you over vineyards, valleys and oak-studded hillsides in the cradle of the Santa Lucia Mountains. The adventure builds from one line to the next, starting with a spectacular 2,800-foot valley crossing and finishing with a breathtaking flight over a Pinot Noir vineyard.
Along the way, you’ll take a walk on the wild side across 300-foot suspension bridge and learn more about the history and environment of the historic Santa Margarita Ranch, including its role in California’s original Mission Trail.
The zipline tour is great families because all ages think it’s awesome. We’ve had families with three generations—kids, parents and grandparents—all flying together. It’s also a best outdoor adventure for friend groups, bachelorette parties and other gatherings.
Vineyard e-Bike Tours: Take It All In
Compared to our zipline tours, our Vineyard e-Bike tours are all about staying grounded as you experience Santa Margarita Ranch by way of our pedal-assisted bikes, which allow you go at your own pace while still keeping up.
These guided tours take you into the heart of the ranch’s estate Margarita Vineyard, home of Ancient Peaks Winery. Along the way, you will learn about the ranch’s history, geology, wildlife and sustainable winegrowing practices.
The ranch is one of California’s crown jewels—a private historic rancho with unspoiled views of mountains, woodlands, hills and vineyards. You’ll likely spot some of the native wildlife along the way, such as deer, falcons and even bald eagles.
As an active and healthful way to get out into nature, our e-Bike tours are great for families, friends and couples.
Let’s Make It Unforgettable
Outdoor adventures need not be extreme to be memorable. It’s the feeling of doing something together, discovering somewhere new and coming home with a story to tell.
