My fears of height were conquered by the second of five ziplines and I spent most of the rest of my time dangling upside down like a starfish, observing rivers and trees. We stayed at the Hosteling International Whistler and received a 10% discount per person. My wife and children also loved the thrill, the length of the ziplines, and... More

There were 5 people in our party ranging in ages from 7 to 77! (Three generations!) We did the bear tour that included 5 ziplines and 4 treetop bridges. Our guides Geoff and Gavin were fantastic! They were knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. There were several people who were new to this as well as a couple... More

We did it is twice with kids, seven and thirteen years old, and every one of us had a blast. The seven year old were able to do two of the zip lines by themselves, and other three zip lines they had to do as tandem with the instructor. All the zip lines were between Whistler and Blackcomb mountains and... More

Thanks to Dan, Eric and Stuart for a great time. Very skilled, knowledgeable, safety conscious and a heck of a lot of fun. The trip was very easy to book online. All of the staff worked hard to make everyone feel at ease. Nice nature talk on the ride up and along the way. Everyone made sure we were all... More

This is the second time I've done the tour and I had a great time again. Tour guides were super nice and they knew their stuff (I've been telling my friends random tidbits I learned on the tour every now and then). They were also very helpful in making the best experience for us on the ziplines, especially when zipping... More

We did the Ziplining on our last day at Whistler. Though we had never ziplined before, we chose to do the Eagle Tour, as it seemed more worthwhile based on previously read reviews. We had two great guides. Everything was very professional and felt safe the entire time. All I have to say despite being nervous of heights, it was... More

I highly recommend doing this while in Whistler. I am not always great with heights, but decided I wanted to do it anyway. I was unsure whether to do the bear tour or the eagle tour, in the end I did the eagle tour, and absolutely loved it! The rest of my group enjoyed it too. The zip lines were... More

I am not very fond of heights so zip lining is not by usual pick for adventure. Nonetheless, I joined this experience with a group of friends not wanting to spoil the fun for the group. There are a couple of zip lining options, the bear & eagle. The bear is designed for beginners and the eagle is for the... More

Not for the faint of heart, but not the most physically challenging either. Wow, as soon as I finished I wanted to do it all over again! It was such a rush, but in the most amazing senic setting. The guides were very helpful and informative concerning the whole whistler area wilderness. Not to large a group as well. Safety... More
