Ready for a tree top challenge?! This adventure is a memorable zipline experience.

Plan to fly through the Ketchikan rainforest on this tree top zipline adventure. This course is designed for people who are looking for an adrenaline rush, love ziplining, or want to step up to new challenges like skybridge suspension bridges and rappelling.

Live the thrill of gliding through a rich rainforest before breaking out into the canopy overlooking Herring Cove. This tour takes you through a series of eight zip-lines and one aerial bridge suspended between tall spruce and hemlock trees following the border of the magnificent Tongass National Forest. This major rain forest reserve embraces one of Alaska’s richest salmon spawning streams and a pristine intertidal estuary. Abundant wildlife habitat here includes a high concentration of bald eagles, black bears, and a variety of other species.  

At Herring Cove, an all-terrain custom 4×4 Unimog will transport you up a steep rain forest hillside to the canopy chalet. Professionally trained guides will outfit you with the state-of-the-art safety equipment and provide a detailed orientation before you mount the first platform. Your rain forest canopy challenge features a ‘flight’ over nine zip-lines. Your guide will progressively ease you into the forest canopy along cables ranging from a short 100 feet up to 600 feet with platform as high as 100 feet above the ground. Eagles and bears are often seen from the platforms. Cross a hanging bridge that will lead you to our longest zip that breaks out into the canopy offering breathtaking views of the forest and salmon spawning creek below. Throughout this adventure, you will be surrounded by the sights and sounds of the rain forest wildlife preserve. The final zip-line emerges from the rainforest and transports you over lush grassy wetlands to a viewing tower overlooking the Whitman Lake Fish Hatchery, 55 feet above the ground where you will rappel to the ground. 

Time permitting, grab a freshly brewed coffee or a cold Alaskan beer and explore our Tsimshian totem park, see a master carver working, check out our historic sawmill and watch our local blacksmiths at work. Stop by the General Store to see photos taken during your zip-line experience and to shop for mementos of your Alaska adventure. Your excursion concludes with a scenic drive back to the ship.

Wow!!!! THESE PEOPLE ARE AMAZING!!! This was my first time zip lining and needless to say - I was petrified. But Josie and Shelby were so nice, welcoming, and funny they really put me at ease. I was clearly scared and asked too many questions but they never ONCE made...

Wow!!!! THESE PEOPLE ARE AMAZING!!! This was my first time zip lining and needless to say - I was petrified. But Josie and Shelby were so nice, welcoming, and funny they really put me at ease. I was clearly scared and asked too many questions but they never ONCE made me feel like I was a bother or being dramatic, because of their kindness/patience I really felt comfortable zip lining and enjoying the views. My boyfriend has zip lined before but has said this was by far his favorite experience not just because of the jaw dropping view zip lining gives you but also because our guides were just so awesome. If you have made it this far into the review - book your zip lining now!!!! It really is so worth it!!

To say it was amazing is an understatement. My tour guides were Shelby and Logan. To say they did a great job isn’t doing them any justice. The start of the tour I was a little nervous, however, their reassurance gave me the confidence to step off that platform. Logan...
To say it was amazing is an understatement. My tour guides were Shelby and Logan. To say they did a great job isn’t doing them any justice. The start of the tour I was a little nervous, however, their reassurance gave me the confidence to step off that platform. Logan showed us a number of different poses for the camera but the spider man was my favorite. Near the ending of the tour Shelby told us to channel our inner salmon and flutter like a fish to attract the bears. I guess we did it correctly because as soon as I hit that platform I saw a bear in the fields below. Hopefully you’re lucky enough to see one as well. 10/10 definitely would recommend.
