15 Tours in Whistler Worth Booking

1.Zipline Adventure in Whistler

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,367 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $126Our pick

Choose the four-line Bear Tour or five-line Eagle Tour. Guides such as Elise, Laura, Rebecca, and Seb have helped nervous first-timers feel secure while sharing local nature details.

“This was a highlight of our trip to Whistler for our 4 kids ages 11-20. We chose the Eagle course which was such a great call- 5 zip lines with hiking in between gave us plenty of time to learn about the area and get more comfortable with zipping with each new line. We rented a go pro which was so fun and worth it. Our guides were extremely safe and knowledgeable about the area so we had fun and learned a lot! We would definitely use ZipTrek again!”
