Zipline Through The Tahoe National Forest
Imagine hanging on to a rope as you swing through the forest, secured only by a safety harness. Sound compelling? Go extreme ziplining with your friends or fam at Tahoe Treetop Adventure Parks. You can experience a bird’s eye view of Lake Tahoe’s breathtaking scenery while satisfying your inner daredevil.
The park features several tree platforms connected by a variety of bridges, ladders, and ziplines, making it all the more fun to explore. A few of the bridges are shaky, others are a piece of cake, and some are quite the challenge—there's nothing you can't handle though, and as soon as you step off the platform, you'll feel as free as a bird.
Get Behind The Wheel At a Racing Arena
Visitors from around the country come to Monterey County for its mouthwatering restaurants, magnificent golf courses, and pristine beaches—oh, and the iconic road courses. The area is historically significant for the U.S. car racing scene and hosts popular car shows each year, so if you've ever wanted to feel like a NASCAR driver, now's your chance.
Feel the adrenaline course through your veins as you put the pedal to the metal at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca. Rent your dream race car from Exclusive Track Days or Lesher Motorsports, and take control of the wheel. Make sure to reserve your car and book your time at the track in advance.
Skydive in Santa Cruz
Considered one of the most extreme things to do on the Central Coast, skydiving should be added to your bucket list—pronto. Any thrill-seeker will love skydiving because it's one of the best adrenaline-pumping activities. So, book your experience with GoJump Santa Cruz, and you'll soon be on your way to jumping out of a plane from 13,000 feet (with an experienced instructor, of course).
While you're in freefall at a speed of 120 miles per hour, you'll feel your heart thumping rapidly and the wind against your face. But as soon as the parachute opens, you'll enjoy a calming and scenic ride back to land. Witness the waves crashing along the shores of the Pacific, and admire the beautiful views of Santa Cruz County stretching below you.
