Exploring BC in the Wild for over 40 Years
WestCoast Wild Adventures was founded by local pilot Louis Rouleau, whose classic Cessna 180 was based in Ucluelet for many years. While Louis has now stepped back from flying, he still operates the zipline at Kennedy River and continues to share his passion for the West Coast with visitors from around the world. Surrounded by rainforest and the scenic Kennedy River, this Vancouver Island zipline location offers a true West Coast experience in the heart of the Pacific Rim region.
Framed by the Clayoquot sound, Pacific Rim National Park, the MacKenzie mountain range and the wild Kennedy river, Ucluelet has always been the perfect place to introduce people to the Pacific Coast Wilderness. The mighty Pacific Ocean surrounds us; it has carved the shores around the jagged mountain ranges of Vancouver Island since the beginning of time. The spectacular vistas here feature snow-capped peaks with waterfalls that form crystal clear creeks; lakes and rivers; crescents of sandy beach protected by rugged rocky points and long twisted inlets dotted with islands in all shapes and sizes. All this is set in an emerald rain forest that produces more bio-mass than any area on earth. It's an eco-system that supports a very diverse population of wildlife.
A Message from WestCoast Wild's Founder, Louis Rouleau
As a kid, I could never have imagined the incredible life I would lead. I made my living as a Bush Pilot for 50 years. Now at the age of 70, I need to tell my story. I have taken over 30,000 pictures along the journey. How I got from a kid born in the Rocky Mountains to owning WestCoast Wild Adventures even amazes me.
Welcome to my story. I was born in 1952 the year of the Water Dragon. Old Bush Pilots tend to exaggerate, even Bullshit a little. I took 90% of the photo’s that are featured and will tell my story. Enjoy and if you like what I have written in my own words invite your friends and family to join the Adventure.
