“The spaced and easy flow of our Corporate Castaways event, from one "station" to the next, along with your staff’s clear explanations of what was expected really enhanced the day. People "got it" and had fun meeting the challenges. As with most Team events, the bringing together of individuals to meet a common goal directly facing them, and their finding ways to do this, was of great benefit. In our HEADSTART conference, these are people from right across Canada who seldom see each other directly. Working together in small groups is excellent networking, as opposed to sitting in a meeting or seminar. Without question this was an excellent investment.”

Ziptrek Now Bigger & Better! Now 2 tours to choose from!

Ziptrek has recently expanded the Whistler zipline tour area all the way to Whistler Village! With the addition of five new ziplines, for a total of 10 ziplines, there are now two different Ziptrek Ecotours to choose from.

The Similarities:

  • Guests fly through the air on Whistler's most popular year-round activity
  • Award winning ecological curriculum
  • First-class guides (two professional guides on every tour)
  • Beautiful old growth forest and scenery above the raging waters of Fitzsimmons Creek
  • Ziplines high in the treetops between Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains
  • Viewing platforms and suspension bridges up to 200' in the treetops
  • Ziplines operated with our patented braking system
  • Minimum and maximum weight limits are the same for solo ziplining
  • Tours offered throughout the day
  • Tours are approximately 2.5 hours in duration

The Differences:

Ziptrek Tour #1 - The Bear Tour aka "The Original"

  • This is the tour seen in all the media coverage throughout most of the world on some of the highest rated travel programs
  • If this is your first time on ziplines and/or you have any apprehension at all this is the best tour for you
  • 5 ziplines ranging from 200 to 1100' in length
  • 10 people maximum per tour (great for groups)
  • Tandem tours are available for children over 6 years of age and under 70 lbs/32 kgs
  • Quick shuttle ride to and from Ziptrek's tour area between Blackcomb & Whistler Mountains

Ziptrek Tour #2 - The Eagle Tour aka "The New Tour"

  • 5 ziplines ranging from 400 to 2000' in length
  • 8 people maximum per tour
  • Tandem ziplining is not permitted on this tour
  • Quick one way shuttle ride to Ziptrek's tour area between Blackcomb & Whistler Mountains
  • Best for people who do not have a great fear of heights and/or have done Tour #1 before and know what ziplines are all about
  • Suspension bridges & observation decks (different bridges & decks than the other tour)
  • This tour boasts the longest as well as the fastest ziplines in North America
  • The longest line on this tour is over 6 football fields and drops more than 20 stories
  • This tour has more walking and hiking than the original tour and is a bit more physically challenging
  • Guests zipline right back to Whistler Village
