River of Golden Dreams
Take a tour down the River of Golden Dreams in a canoe, kayak or double kayak. Enjoy the glacier fed waters while learning about the history and nature of Whistler. Choose from guided or self-guided tours. Would you prefer a combination of canoeing and bike riding? Choose a Pedal & Paddle Tour. Paddle your way down the lake and meet up with your bike. Explore the trails your guide takes you on, when cycling back to the village.
Ancient Cedars Hike
This 1-2 your hike will bring you to an amazing grove of ancient cedars. The diameter of some which could link the arms of 10-15 persons! The access road is just outside Whistler and unpaved, but manageable in most rental cars. It is through old growth forest with beautiful mossy carpeting and ferns. Someone has spent a lot of time making “cairns” along the way (cairns: delicately balanced pillars of rock). My guests did this one morning and then Cheakamus Lake (Garibaldi Provincial Park) in the PM.
It’s a bird, it’s a plane…no it’s Ziptrek!
Fly like a bird through the treetops of the forest along suspended zipline cables above the creek that separates Whistler & Blackcomb Mountain – Fitzsimmons Creek. Zip trekking is an all-year round activity suitable for anyone wanting an immediate rush. Reach speeds of up to 80 km (55 mi.) p/h and enjoy an educational tour from experienced guides. For those who prefer less fast-pacing movement, but still want an educational tour, explore the forest on Whistler‘s own tree trek walk. Reach heights at approximately 200 feet above ground.
Whistler Paintball
Hide & Seek is no longer a game played by the young in the yard but a game that involves Semi automatic guns filled with water-based paint balls. Welcome to Paintball! Paintball is located 5 minutes north of Whistler Village. The aim of the game is to capture the opposing team’s flag. This is done by tagging the opponents with the paint balls. The game also requires your team to guard and protect your own flag from the opponents- doing your best to not be eliminated. On average, a game lasts approximately 20 minutes, with average play time of 2 […]

Bungeeeee

Located 15 minutes south of Whistler Village, this bungee jumping site not only offers extreme adrenalin but also the breathtaking views of Cheakamus River and the old growth forests which surround the site.

A Lot More Ski Country
In British Columbia there is a lot more ski country than just Vancouver and Whistler. Over on the eastern side of the province there is an area known as the Kootenay Rockies, along the “Powder Highway”. The snow is deep and dry and they have ski resorts coming out of the woodwork and the helicopter skiing is amazing. This region has the highest concentration of ski resorts. It is also the birthplace of chopper skiing approximately 40 years ago. Some of the known resorts are located in towns such as Fernie, Kicking Horse, Revelstoke, Whitewater and the Red Mountain Resort […]
