“Amazing Zip Wire Adventure – We had a brilliant time completing the zip wire route through beautiful forests and over breathtaking gorges. The instructors were excellent and really encouraged our two children, who grew in confidence before our eyes. It was also wonderful to learn about this scared, special natural place. Thanks guys- such a fun adventure!” — Kate W. | TripAdvisor

 

What to Expect on your Zip-line Experience

Starting out with a short hike to the first zip-line, guests will be led by an experienced WestCoast Wild Adventures Guide. Guides will assist in getting adventurers safely harnessed and on their way. They will also be taking the time to educate guests on the local history, culture and diversity that makes the experience so unique. Guests will fly along the Kennedy River at heights of around 25ft (7.62m) secured in a safety harness. The harness will keep guests safely secured to the zip-line and allow them to spread their arms wide or even hang upside down should they feel extra adventurous! At the end of each zip-line a guide will be there to assist in safely dismounting riders and continue guiding them to their tour.

How To Get There

Located on the Kennedy River in the traditional territory of the Tla-o-qui-aht people, WestCoast Wild Adventures is just 48 mins from Port Alberni (map) and is easily accessible by car. Cell phone coverage in this area may be intermittent so it is best to have directions saved before you go. The Pacific Rim Hwy is a beautiful and picturesque drive but the roads can be windy and with limited visibility it is best to take extra caution if travelling at night.
