Whistler: Superfly Ziplines Adventure with Day Activities

About This Experience

Superfly Ziplines, run by The Adventure Group, strings four long tandem ziplines between Cougar and Rainbow mountains in the backcountry near Whistler. The tour starts at Basecamp, where you gear up with a DOT-approved helmet before heading out with your guides. Every line is built for two riders side by side, so you fly next to a friend or partner the whole way.

These are big lines. The listing gives speeds up to 90 km/h (about 56 mph), heights of up to 200 m above the ground and lengths of up to 1.3 km. The operator calls Superfly the longest year-round zipline in North America. On a clear day you look out over the forest to the peaks around Whistler, and the course runs through the seasons, from green summer forest to snow-covered winter.

The zipline tour takes about 2 hours 30 minutes and finishes back at Basecamp. After that you can stay and use the extras that come with the ticket: the self-guided Flora and Fauna Trail, a slackline, axe throwing (age restrictions apply), wiffle golf, giant Jenga, cornhole and ladder toss. Secure lockers are free, so you can leave bags while you play.

Meals and drinks are not included, so bring snacks or plan to eat in Whistler afterward. Dress for the season: the lines are high and fast, and in winter the wind on a 1.3 km run is cold, so a warm jacket, hat and gloves make the ride far more comfortable. The listing does not state age or weight limits, so check with the operator before booking for children. You can cancel up to 24 hours ahead for a full refund.
