Hands down one of the best adventures I've been on.
I booked online and had some difficulties getting confirmation. I had an email confirmation stating the shuttle would pick my husband and I up at 9:40. Well at 9:25 we started to walk to the pick up location and saw the bus drive away. Called Adrena Line and after a few minutes we got it straightened out and we were put on the afternoon trip.
From the moment you arrive at Adrena Line you can't help but get excited. Everyone is extremely friendly and helpful. We had about 10 people in our group and the entire experience lasted about 2 hours. You go on 8 different zip lines. The first is a trainer line and than you ride an ATV up to the top. Our guides, Randy & Adam, were awesome. They kept us laughing the entire time.
One word to describe? "WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" -

What fun! I did this a year or so ago and have been itching to go back again. I am absolutely terrified of heights, but thankfully they have a "bunny hill" if you will, a trainer zipline that is shorter and not as far off the ground so you can get used to it. I was shaking the entire time and probably would have backed out it if wasn't for my friends. After this it's up to the top of the forest in a fun ATV ride. Still a little shaky after the first zipline, by the end I was flying through the forest without a hint of apprehension. It was FUN! Eight ziplines and two or so hours later, I didn't want it to be over. The guides were absolutely wonderful and definitely made the tour more fun. The views were wonderful as I was zipping through the forest canopy. I am itching to zipline here again since it's just a short ferry ride away!

If you're an "adrenaline" junkie, the zip-line tours are a great way to get your blood rushing!
I am extremely terrified of heights, but did this once in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, and was determined to do it again. In Mexico, we had a breaking system that was much like a bicycle hand bar that needed to be twisted. At Adrena LINE, the instructors take care of all the breaking so you are able to enjoy the view, scenery, and environment without any stress.
Jimbo and Kelsey were our guides, and they were friendly, hysterical, and lots of fun! The first zip-line is a baby one, just to get you used to the whole feeling of going down the line. After that, we took these awesome off-road vehicles very appropriately named Jack and Jill, as they drove us up the huge hill / mountain thing.
There are a total of 8 zip lines ranging from 200ft to 1000ft in length, all with breathtaking views and at exciting speeds. On one of the zips, they have you do a 720, which is where you try to rotate yourself two full revolutions. It's hilarious to see everyone flailing their arms and legs around trying to do the 720. A cow bell is heard as a sign of accomplishing the feat!
On one of the lines, Jimbo broke too early which resulted in me dangling on the line really high up in the air for a good few minutes--that was a LITTLE scary. Nevertheless, I would do this again in a heartbeat! -

What better way to spend a Saturday afternoon with family than swinging through the trees of a beautiful rain forest?
My two cousins, one of their girlfriends, my aunt and I made the trek out to Adrena Line Zip lining for my husbands' birthday. My aunt and cousins had never been before despite living on the Island for over 20 years and really had no idea what they were up for. I had been zip lining in South Africa before so had an idea what I was getting myself into.
We arrived early, which is recommended, and met our guides who suited us up and gave us a quick lesson on the practice line. The practice line is barely 20 feet off the ground and gives you just enough confidence to take the bumpy road up to the 7 REAL lines.
The lines get longer and higher as you go along the course with the longest one taking over 30 seconds in a "cannonball" position as you glide over 1000 feet from tree to tree! My aunt took a bit to get into it as she realized she was afraid of heights after the first line. It wasn't the line so much that was scaring her, but the swaying of the platforms while we were high in the trees. She soon got over it though as the adrenaline kicked in just in time before the longest and highest lines.
The tour went too quickly but was tons of fun! We laughed at each other as we each tried to find ways to go faster and as a few of us had less than graceful landings on the other side. Overall, it was a great experience and an "easy" tour compared to some other Zipline tours out there. You just hang on for this one where as other tours you have to learn to break yourself!
I would highly recommend this place to anyone in the area looking for a little adrenaline rush! -

Adrenaline is awesome, so much fun. The zip lines are safe, the instructors are well trained, funny and know how to keep it light and entertaining. I just wish there were more ziplines in the tour. At $75 pp the tour is a little expensive. But no doubt, it was fun!

Yowza, what a ride! This fun beats anything Disney's got hands down. Right from the very beginning, taking the atv ride up to the platform for the first zip, the action and thrills just do not stop! These guys have done an absolutely fantastic job of making this an experience not too soon forgotten. Their attention to details, all the details, right down to the landscaping makes you instantly feel that you are in the hands of people who care. Safety was not even a concern as the level of comfort felt right from the get go ensured a stress free and enjoyable experience.The staff are all very friendly, engaging and darn right funny, happy to be spending their days in the trees and sharing the experience with others. After spending a year away from Sooke, this was the prefect way to christen our return, and return we will to Adrenaline...night zipping is next on the agenda for us, and we can hardly wait.
Thanks Adrenaline, please do keep up the great work! You are a credit to Tourism in Sooke and on Vancouver Island.

One of the coolest things I've ever done... In spite of the fact that my family was taking bets on whether I'd actually go through with this experience, I completed the training course and the actual 7-line experience. After two hours of ziplining, I got to the bottom of the course and I was ready to go back up. My only complaint was "it was too darn short..." I could've spent all day there.
I'm not a fan of heights, but this is really an experience not to be missed by other neurotic adventurers like me. It was such a beautiful way to see Canada's nature first hand (and from the tree tops.) The staff is incredible because they walk you through the experience from getting your gear on to helping you learn how to zip line. Our guides were terrific -- I can't say enough about how great they were.
Net net - I'd do this again in a heart beat. I'd love to try the night tour, too!
