Valley Zipline Adventures

What Valley Zipline Adventures does

Valley Zipline Adventures is a privately held, seasonal outdoor adventure tourism operator founded in 2017 and based in Radium Hot Springs, British Columbia, in the Purcell Mountains of the Columbia Valley. The company runs six on-site activities from a single base camp at 8393 Highways 93/95: the Dry Gulch Traverse (seven guided ziplines ending in a side-by-side race at up to 50 km/h), the Ridge Runner Aerial Adventure (a 30+ element, three-level obstacle course up to 50 feet), the Big Foot Kids Park (low-level aerial course for children), the Kootenay Plunge 50-foot free-fall jump tower with a QUICKflight catch system, the Big Horn Bungee trampolines, and the 35-foot Marmot Climber wall with TrueBlue Auto-Belays. All activities use certified safety equipment including Edelrid full-body harnesses and SB-X lanyard systems, and operations are Technical Safety BC approved.

The business generates revenue through a direct-to-consumer model: per-activity ticket sales ($12–$109 for individual attractions), package bundles that combine on-site activities at a 15% discount, and higher-value cross-operator packages (Zip & Dip at $114, Zip & Paddle at $153, Zip & Raft starting at $241, Zip & Ride at $193–$388). Distribution is digital-first via the Rezgo online booking platform and a dedicated phone line, supplemented by direct sales for groups of 9+ and private tours. The company has built a co-marketing ecosystem with five regional partners — Radium Hot Springs Hot Pools, Wild Water Adventures, Toby Creek Adventures, Columbia River Paddle, and Screamers — that creates integrated multi-day itineraries beyond ziplining alone. Ancillary revenue includes BC-resident annual season passes and digital gift certificates.

Valley Zipline serves families with children, individual tourists visiting the Columbia Valley, large groups (bachelor/bachelorette parties, corporate retreats, family reunions), and a secondary thrill-seeker segment. Operations run seasonally, typically May through October, with six core employees listed in firmographic data (seasonal guides are staffed separately). The company reports 1,500+ five-star reviews and self-describes as the Columbia Valley's outdoor playground. It is independently owned with no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, subsidiaries, or public funding rounds.
