Ziplining is one of the greatest legal rushes you can get. For amateurs who don’t have training with base-jumping or wingsuits or any of those crazy extreme sports, riding a zipline is about as close as you can get to flying. And of course, it is also a lot safer than other extreme sports.

Not only do ziplines give you the experience of flying, but most of them happen to be located in beautiful natural areas, offering adventure-seekers stunning views along with an exhilarating experience. One example is Superfly Ziplines in British Columbia, Canada, which is located amongst the old-growth forests of Cougar Mountain, about ten minutes away from Whistler Village by car.

Superfly has the longest, highest, and fastest ziplines in all of Canada. They offer several different epic experiences, including the intense “Godzilla” line, which includes a heart-dropping 250 foot drop over 1,700 feet of line. If that doesn’t sound intense enough, depending on the rider’s weight, speeds can reach 100 kilometers per hour or more.

Superfly also has another line that is the highest in all of Canada. It stretches over one kilometer and reaches 639 feet above the valley floor. No matter which line you ride, all of them include breathtaking views that allow adventure seekers to soar above the trees, while taking in the mountains and valley beneath.

Superfly prides itself not just on the thrilling experiences they offer, but also on the environmentally friendly aspect of their model. Superfly does everything they can to minimize their environmental footprint and strive for 100% carbon neutrality. This comes with an understanding that the nature aspect of the experience is just as important as the adrenaline surge guests enjoy.

According to Joey Houssian, owner of The Adventure Group (TAG), the company that created and operates Superfly Ziplines, “There is nothing I enjoy more than seeing the smiles on our guests faces while riding our ziplines. It really is like flying. It puts a smile on my face every time … Our teams work hard to maintain the natural beauty in the areas we operate in, because without it, that experience just wouldn’t be the same.”

Joey Houssian adds that his motivation for starting the company was his love of the great outdoors, in addition to the power that connecting with it can bring. “We worked with some of the top engineers in the world to build these ziplines, and picked what I think is one of the most gorgeous places in the entire country, in order to offer a world-class experience.”

“For those who haven’t tried it,” Joey Houssian goes on, “there really is nothing like it. We have guests from ages 7 to 70 as ziplining really is for everyone. It gives you an incredible “I’m alive” rush, but it all takes place in a safe, structured environment, and the learning curve is instant. Our professional guides attach you and double and triple-check to make sure everything is safe, and off you go!”

For nature lovers, thrill-seekers, and even people with a more reserved, cautious disposition, ziplining really can’t be beat. It is safe, fun, and always unforgettable.
