Victoria Zipline Adventure: Fly the Pacific Coast Rainforest
Climb into a harness, let the forest whisper past, and launch off platforms that peer toward the Pacific. This two-hour guided zipline tour above Vancouver Island’s coastal rainforest mixes speed with interpretation and ocean views.
The Experience
Before You Go
Arrive 20 minutes early
Waivers and gear fitting take time; arriving early keeps the group on schedule and reduces stress before your first launch.
Wear closed-toe shoes
The course requires sturdy, closed-toe footwear for safe landings and scrambling between platforms.
Layer for coastal weather
Dress in breathable layers and bring a lightweight rain shell—conditions can shift quickly in the temperate rainforest.
Secure small cameras
If you want photos, use a chest or helmet mount approved by staff rather than handheld devices while zipping.
