Your zipline adventure in Ketchikan begins with a 25-minute drive out of downtown to your playground for the next 3 hours – a waterfront property in the Tongass National Forest! Meet up with your certified guide who will fit you with a helmet and full-body harness and take you through a safety briefing and ground instruction. Once you’re geared up and ready to go, follow your guide up to the first platform. Step to the edge, clip on, and count down before leaping into the open void.
Embrace the rush of adrenaline as you soar through the air, blurring by sweeping branches of hemlock and spruce. Glide into your next platform surrounded by old-growth cedars, unhook and catch the next line, taking in sweeping views of Alaskan wilderness. (Keep your eyes peeled for bald eagles!)
In between rides on 8 whizzing ziplines, tackle challenging rope swings and swaying logs. Feel the speed and acceleration of landing on an ocean platform 50’ above the water. Then zip to a soft landing on the forest floor.
For the big finale, face the 50’ climbing tower. You can take the mellow route up an inside circular staircase or test your mettle by scaling the outside of the tower and proudly ringing the bell at the top. Either way, you’ll enjoy breathtaking mountain and ocean views. It’s the perfect end to a perfect day on your Ketchikan Zipline Tour!
