Get a close-up view of the Coast Mountains while zipping through pristine old-growth and second-growth forests in Whistler with Ziptrek Ecotours and WildPlay Whistler. Fly through the air near Vancouver with Grouse Mountain ziplines, or scramble through the trees at an aerial adventure course at WildPlay Maple Ridge.
For the ultimate adrenaline rush, head to the Bungee Zone in Whistler, British Columbia's highest and most pristine year-round bungee jumping site. Set on a new pedestrian bridge, Whistler Bungee is one of two licensed bungee jumping spots in British Columbia.
Whistler has two ziplining operators: the centrally located Ziptrek Ecotours, and ZOOM Zip Lines at WildPlay Whistler, located at nearby Cougar Mountain (free shuttle service available from Whistler Village).
Ziptrek has 10 ziplines in total, which are divided into two five-line tours. Tours operate year-round between Whistler and Blackcomb mountains, high above Fitzsimmons Creek – the views are remarkable. As part of the tour, learn about local ecology and sustainability practices.
WildPlay's ZOOM Zip Lines has five dual ziplines – meaning two people can fly along side-by-side, each on their own line. Reach speeds of up to 100km/60mi per hour, and then check out the aerial adventure course.
Ziplining in Vancouver
Grouse Mountain, located on Vancouver's North Shore, offers year-round ziplining. The Mountain Ziplines whisk riders past remarkable old-growth forests at speeds up to 80km/50mi per hour.
Start with a ride on the Grouse Mountain Skyride aerial tramway, then zip around the Blue Grouse Lake area and across the peaks of Grouse and Dam mountains. Enjoy stunning views of Vancouver, the Pacific Ocean, Gulf Islands and surrounding Coast Mountains.
Aerial Adventure Course in Maple Ridge
For a different kind of adventure in the forest, visit WildPlay Maple Ridge. Travel from tree to tree on platforms as high as 18m/60ft above the ground using a combination of elements including ziplines, wobbly bridges, tarzan ropes and scramble nets. Both adult and kids’ courses are available.
Whistler Bungee Jumping
Experience the beautiful wilderness of the Whistler Valley, nestled between old growth forests and rugged basalt column cliffs, as you free fall off the 46m/160 ft bridge. Choose your method of bungee jump – different cords can be used to give a faster, higher rebound or a softer, slower rebound. Visitors in wheelchairs are accommodated.
Practical Points and Safety
Age, weight, height and health restrictions vary by company, so be sure to check in advance, especially when travelling with children. Ziplines in British Columbia are licensed by the BC Safety Authority.
