I did the Falcon Tour. It was exhilarating rather than terrifying. It took 1.5hrs from check in to check out. They drive you in a 4WD to the first line. Between the three lines there is some walking to do through the forest but nothing too arduous, including a nice treetop canopy. The ziplines are fast, and each is about 30 seconds long "in-flight." Try to take it all in! All the staff there are very polite, helpful and pleasant. It feels very safe. The COVID-19 precautions are good, with plenty of hand sanitiser and everyone is wearing masks. You have to leave personal belongings with the team at the ground level. If you want to take a camera it needs to be secured to you by lanyard/chain or small enough to fit into a zip pocket. You can rent a Go Pro from them, they'll only charge you if you want to keep the footage (45 CAD).

This is my second review of Ziptrek Ecotours, focusing specifically on the Eagle Tour. Last year (2020), my hubby and I did the Sasquatch Tour and it was so exhilarating (I have a separate review of that experience), I wanted to do the Eagle Tour before we ended our vacation in Whistler. However, we didn't have the time though I vowed we would be back the following year (2021) for the Eagle Tour and return we did.
Unlike the Sasquatch Tour, we had guides accompany us from the check-in location (Excalibur Gondola) to the end. Our guides were Kear (from the United Kingdom) and Maggie (from London, Ontario). They were super friendly and had lots of information and stories to tell us. Altogether, we did five ziplines, the first zipline being two lines so couples can choose to zipline as a pair. We hiked alternatively on the forest floor and between treetops as we made our way from one zipline to the next. One thing I should mention and something that our guides were honest about, is that a much lighter person would sometimes not have enough momentum for their trolley to reach and catch the braking system at the end of the first zipline and would just stop before they could be pulled in. However, we were assured that someone would assist immediately if that were to happen. As it turned out, one of the members of our group did have this experience (she and her friend actually suspected she would have the honour of getting stuck on the zipline). We watched in amazement as one of the Ziptrek guides stationed on the platform got on the zipline and made his way to our stranded members and hooked up her trolley so she could be reeled in. Other than this minor hiccup (it didn't happen with the remaining four ziplines), it was an amazing experience zipping on five lines and seeing mountains, flowing rivers, green valleys and huge trees. I also tried zipping upside down but only managed to do it halfway (next time!).
This tour, however, is not just about ziplining. During the hikes from one zipline to the next, we were given lessons on ecology, the fragility of the environment, and the importance of environmental sustainability. We had fun but we also left with one important lesson: "take no more than you need".
The Eagle Tour is not cheap and costs a little more than the Sasquatch Tour. Per adult person, it's CDN $166.95 (with tax). Was the Eagle Tour worth the price? You betcha!

Did the Falcon tour. Very well organized and safe. Very professional staff. 3 different zip lines plus a fun treetop style walk. The walk through the forest to get to the different launch platforms was really nice too. The staff were all wearing masks and visors and lots of hand sani was available.

Went up to Whistler for a little staycation with the hubby. Due to the time of year and COVID protocols the tour is PRIVATE. Booking online prior to our trip was a breeze. Filled out the waivers ect online and we are set!
Arrived at the office to friendly staff, and were introduced to our 2 fabulous guides. Shout out to Sam and Jamous. 🙌🙌These guys made the day so much fun! With high attention to safety and education, we were well informed and felt super safe the whole time. There is hand sanitizer stations at each zip line.
We couldn't have asked for a better day weather wise. It was -2 and sunny.
We were driven to the 1st zip station as the gondolas are not currently running. We then walked thru the snow to the first zip line. Beautiful views of the mountains await. Zipping thru the snow covered trees was spectacular! There is a bit of walking to each zipline so make sure you have good shoes. They did provide ice cleats for the snow.
Would recommend these guys in a heartbeat. Best part was that it was a totally private tour.
So glad you guys are able to operate at this time and was happy to support local businesses and staff. Keep up the amazing work. ❤️❄️❄️❤️

Had a blast and was a good outing. The day wasn’t the best weather but being in the trees we didn’t get wet despite the drizzle around so even in poor weather it was good to do, the trek down the hill was on wet ground but had poles to

Wonderful team guides Amelia and Mat you made it enjoyable

We did the Falcon Zipline tour with our 11 year old daughter. We had never zip lined before and it was a blast. For ~$120 you get to take the gondola up the mountain (that alone is $75) then you get to do a bit of hiking through the forest (priceless) and then you get to zipline 3 times (totally worth it). So, you get to essentially do three things all for one price. And, the staff and the course are absolutely excellent. I can’t imagine the effort and expense involved to build the infrastructure for these ziplines. It is amazing and beautiful. It was the highlight of our trip to Whistler. I think if we ever return we will do the larger zipline course between the two mountains. For a first time out though, and with a younger child, this course was the way to go.

Another great day on Whistler. Great fun instructive guides. Super fun experience, our second go since a trip 8 years ago. Lunch in the cabin was good too.
But the toilet at the cabin is worth a miss lol.
They also have a professional photographer take photos of you on one of the zip runs and the cost is really reasonable at $45.00 for all the photos in digital format, you collect at the end of the day.
Book and enjoy.

Wow, what a fun and great experience. The zip line crew were professional, caring and aware all through the 5 zip lines trips. I never had a moment of concern with their expertise in safety and alertness. A must do in Whistler!

Loved every moment of our Bear Tour Ziptrek experience!!
Our guides Joel and Fi were absolute rockstars!!! From start to finish, they were super informative, helpful, funny and made us feel super safe as first time zippers. Both of them soooo good with the kiddos too. Even the littlest who scraped in with weight to go solo on all but one of the lines. We now have an 8yr old who wants to work at Ziptrek from like tomorrow! Highly recommend.

I had an amazing fun time did the Bear Tour Zip Line. Reason:
1. The staffs are all very friendly and warm, they helped me with my fear of height
2. The pickup service was super nice. The driver was very friendly he picks me up, then drops me off at the shuttle spot smoothly. Great service!
3. Overall its 10 out of 10. I have done so many Ziplines but this one, the safest I felt the most <3

I want to book the Bear Tour zip line but just want to know if I am able to stead my GoPro onto the helmet? Has anyone done this before? Thanks.

There were people using Go-Pro's on our tour - I think the company also hires them out...

If I book the Bear tour with the P2P, what time does the Bear tour start? Would I do P2P first, then the zipline? Or other way around? Thanks!
Written December 27, 2019
I think you can choose which you would like to do first- it doesn’t matter as long as it’s within a couple days of each other.

Are we able to bring a camera or phone on the tour to take pictures? What's the best way to bring a camera? Can we use a waist pouch or fanny pack?
Written July 2, 2019
At the desk where you sign in to go on your trip they sell mobile phone lanyards. They work great and allow you to take pics and videos without worrying about losing your phone.

Hi. If I book a zip trek and P2P combo, can I use theP2P on a different day, or do they both have to be done on the same day?
Thanks.
Written January 18, 2019
I would send them an email and specifically request that they be done on different days. They are very accomodating in your specific requests! Too much of a good thing ought to be enjoyed over a longer period! Do the longer one last and enjoy!

I have a season pass with Epic so I can ride P2P as many times as I want as well as all the other gondolas. You should check with ZipTrek or Whistler directly since they manage the P2P passes.

There is a loo in the place where you register but nothing out on the tour, which takes a good 2.5 hours or so.

Hello, my husband want to do the Sasquash zipline but I don't, so can you please tell me how many times its take? To do this zipline, may there is a shuttle transporting people which are going the zipline? And may my husband will return after the zipline to the departure point?
Thanks a lot for your help ☺
Written June 12, 2018
Greetings, on average The Sasquatch tour takes approximately 2.5 hours to complete (from check-in, to finishing the tour). Good news about the tour is that it both starts and ends in the main village of Whistler, for the 2018 summer season. So, easy to meet someone after the tour, if you choose not to participate. If your husband chooses to go - he will check-in at our Guest Services desk (Carelton Lodge, main village), and either travel by van shuttle, or Gondola (there are 2 Sasquatch options this year), and once completing the zipline - all guests (regardless of option chosen) download on the Whistler Gondola to arrive back in the main village.
All of this is detailed well on our website, on the dedicated Sasquatch page. Hope that helps.
Cheers!
