What To Expect
This zipline tour operates in a true old-growth temperate rainforest, where there is spectacular scenery and amazing views to take in along the way. Your inspiring journey through the forest happens via a combination of suspension bridges, treetop observation platforms, ground-based trails, and ziplines.
You'll check in and meet your guides at the Carleton Lodge in the main village across from the Whistler Gondolas. All guests will be fitted with a custom Ziptrek harness and climbing helmet.
The ziplines are gravity-fed, so you do not have to worry about controlling your own speed. Nor do you have to concern yourself with braking, as Ziptrek’s proprietary braking systems allow for smooth deceleration and finish on each zip. Two tour guides will accompany you on your tour, one guide to connect (launch platform) and one guide to disconnect (landing platform) each and every person.
All tours have the ability to zip hands-free and/or upside down for even more of a rush!
Choose from the following two route options:
Bear Tour: 5 Ziplines, 4 Tree-Top Bridges, 2.5-3 Hours
Five incredible ziplines varying in length from 400 feet to over 1,000 feet long are connected via a network of canopy bridges and boardwalks. The Bear Tour is perfect for families, groups, and those who have never ziplined before.
Eagle Tour: 5 Ziplines, 4 Tree-Top Bridges, 2.5-3 Hours
On the Eagle Tour, you'll get to venture up the Whistler Gondola to your first zipline and then end your adventure by zipping all the way to Whistler Village. A 2,400-foot awe-inspiring dual zipline makes this tour perfect for those who have already experienced ziplining or are seeking even more heart-pounding adrenaline!
