The big differences you’ll notice will be our harness technology that keeps you locked in place facing forward and the untouched beauty of our backcountry wilderness location.

Our course also permits people to fly 2 at a time, so you can fly through the air with a member from your party.

Depending on the size of your group, tours typically last between 2 hours and 2.5 hours.

Absolutely, the pictures from the tour will be epic. Hang on tight for mid zipline photos – it gets breezy up there!

The highest is 200m in the air, the longest spans 1.3km, and we’ve clocked a guide going over 120km/h!

We have an automated braking system. Your guides will teach you the correct landing position to be in during a safety demonstration before the tour begins.

All of our ziplines will have you side by side with your friend or family member on separate ziplines. We cannot attach your child or friend or anything else to you while you zipline.

Guests must weigh between 60lbs and 250lbs and must be at least 7 years old to participate.

Summer – The entire experience takes place outside within a trail network which is partially levelled but not asphalted. These paths are not recommended for people with reduced mobility since they consist of several steep staircases, that are both up and down. Using a baby carrier is recommended and strollers are not permitted.

Our Basecamp Café offers non-alcoholic beverages and snacks includes marshmallows to roast by the firepits and s’mores kits!

You are also welcome to bring your own food to enjoy by the firepits or at one of our picnic tables.

The Adventure Group has a strict zero tolerance alcohol, drug, smoking and vaping policy for all activities including Vallea Lumina.

Strobe lighting effects are used during this show. Guests that may suffer from epilepsy or are affected by visual light stimulation effects are advised to contact the ranger staff prior to embarking on the walk.

Dress for the weather! Winter is cold, so if you have ski gear, make sure you wear it. If you don’t, dress as warmly as you can, and make sure your gear is waterproof. If you have your own goggles, bring them along, and make sure you don’t forget your gloves. We would also highly recommend bringing a facial covering or a neck warmer to keep yourself extra toasty in the cold winter conditions.

Our tours operate on 33km of open trails. The majority of our trails are groomed regularly, but the trail conditions can vary massively. We have some challenging and fun single tracks that we can head down for single riders, and plenty of incredible viewpoints that we will stop at in order to get those crucial Insta shots!

We offer both beginner and intermediate tours. If you have never been on a snowmobile before, book onto the beginner tour. Beginner does not mean slow! Some of the quickest tours we have ever taken out were beginner tours – but we do like to keep first timers together. If you have been on one of our snowmobile tours before, have done a similar tour elsewhere, or have any experience driving a snowmobile, book intermediate.

Yes, you do. To drive one of our snowmobiles, we require you to be over the age of 16 and have a valid learners license at least which is actually the lowest requirement for any snowmobile tour in all of Whistler!

Make sure you bring your license with you, as Guest Services will need to see it before you head out on tour.

Yes, they can! Make sure you book onto the Family Tour, and we will take you and your family out to an open area called ‘the playground’. This is where we keep our Mini Z’s, which are perfect for kids to get a taste of what it’s like to shred through the snow out on our tours! At the playground, the kids can rip around on the Mini Z’s while you get your all-important Insta shots or Christmas card photos for the family!

Not while the snowmobile is in motion! The tour does have a few pre-planned stops at amazing viewpoints and if you both have valid driver’s or learner’s permits then you can switch every time the machine is stopped.

We have a few ‘emergency the airlines lost all my luggage’ pieces of clothing that you can use but chances are high they might already be in use, or that they won’t fit very well and that they will look terrible in photos.

We will provide you with snowshoes.

Please do! Our guides will need to approve them for use before the tour.

The longer Ancient Cedars Tour will include a stop for a snack and hot chocolate. If you get hungry often, feel free to bring food. The guides might ask to sample some for… safety reasons 🙂

We need two guests for the tour to run, if your tour is tentative you’re currently the only one booked and we are waiting for your new best friend to join you before confirming the tour.

Difficulty is subjective, and largely based on each individual’s fitness, experience and ability. We have a total of five sections, all with varying difficulty. Our first is the green section, which is the easiest of the 5. As you go through the course, from green to blue, to black, to double black and then red to finish, it gradually gets more challenging. The most difficult parts of the course are located in the double black, but there are always options to skip the really hard parts if you need!

This almost completely depends on you! Some guests love to challenge themselves and try to get through the course as fast as possible; some like to take their time. Some find the course easy; some find it hard. Basically, there is no set time that people usually finish, but whenever you do is fine with us! All of our activities are challenge by choice, which means if you want to come down early, we are never going to force you to continue, and there are multiple exit points stationed throughout the course if you need to come down or don’t want to continue!

The Aerial Obstacle Course is physical! Wear something comfy that you would be happy working out in, and also make sure you bring a waterproof layer as the weather has a mind of its own a lot of the time, and our tour is going ahead come rain, come shine! We would also highly recommend that you bring gloves as we do not provide any here (either climbing, biking or padded gloves if you have them).

We have no flexibility in our safety policies, we’ll look forward to seeing them next year!

Yes, but they are nothing like Superfly Ziplines.

Anytime you’re more than 1 foot off of the ground you’ll be attached to the course. We use a harness technology that makes it impossible for you to fall out of the course.

Plan for a lot of fun because you’re in for the full course.

It is mandatory for all RZR guests to wear a Department of Transport Safety approved Full Faced Helmet while on tour.

If it is a full face DOT/SNELL approved helmet that is less than 5 years old and passes our guides inspection you can wear your own helmet.

Our trail maximum is 40km/h however the trail network is so rocky, bumpy and fun that at times 20km/h will feel fast!

Our guides are also great photographers and will stop the tour at the most breathtaking locations for photos.

Dress for the weather in clothes that can get dirty. If it hasn’t rained in a while, be ready to get dusty. If it’s raining, be ready to get muddy and you’re in for a treat!

Absolutely!

The beginner tour will take place mostly on deactivated forestry service roads. The intermediate tour will feature more challenging single track terrain including rock crawling. Both tours go to epic scenic viewpoints, but they take different ways to get there.

If your kids are 4ft tall, and can fit our XXS helmets, you can show them what a good driver you are. We have an XXS helmet in our Whistler Sales Office if you would like to try it on before booking the tour.

We require the original to be presented at check in.

If you haven’t had the time to get a Canadian license on your vacation we’ll be happy to approve of your license from your home country.

No, you will need to bring your own.

The Green River features mostly Class 2 and a few Class 3 rapids presented in a way where they are suitable for all ability levels.

The Green River’s flow comes from Green Lake which is fed by all of the mountains surrounding the northern part of Whistler. Generally in May & June every day is a high water day. In July, August & September most days are low water days however a significant rain event or a heatwave might change this. The flow changes every second and we are unable to predict with 100% certainty what will be a high water or low water day far in advance. Just give us a call and we can check with our rafting team to see what it’s currently like on the river.

They could but it wouldn’t float very well. We put up to 6 guests on a raft at the most.

We have a lake and a river but no showers.

Our team of highly trained rafting professionals are ready to assist you in the highly unlikely but very possible event of you ending up in the water.

Mostly genetics.
