Get a running start on solid ground and take flight into the treetops of the Alaskan rainforest, and over glacially fed waterfalls!The fun begins with an entertaining historic tour through downtown Skagway, then along 9 miles of stunning coastline. When you arrive at our base in Dyea, you will climb into our customized unimog—an all-wheel drive vehicle necessary for getting up our rugged mountain road. During your adventurous ride up the mountain, look out at the impressive rainforest and glacially fed waterfalls. Get psyched—you’re about to fly over this wild landscape!At the top of the mountain, you will suit up in gear that meets the most rigorous standards of safety while your highly trained guide tells you what to expect and how to safely navigate the course. You will then be led to the take-off zone, where you’ll be clipped in and fly away! You’ll soar through a course of 11 ziplines, the longest measuring 750ft—that’s longer than 2 football fields combined! This is more than just any zip course, though. Our lines will bring you directly above glacially fed waterfalls! For the more cautious adventurers, rest assured that you can always control your own speed with a brake system—but we “double-dog” dare you to let go and zoom up to 45 miles per hour! Of course, that’s a little too fast to take those perfect pictures of the Alaskan wilderness. That’s why we added 4 state of the art suspension bridges to our course. From these bridges, you’ll be able to capture stunning photos of you and your loved ones in the heart of Alaska’s wild beauty. This is bound to be an “E.X.C.U.R.S.I.O.N. of a lifetime,” one you will surely remember for years to come! « less

My family and I were very excited to go zip lining in Skagway. It was an excursions we could all agree to go on. We were impressed as soon as we arrived at base camp. My mom appreciated the clean bathrooms in the woods. The uni-mog ride up the mountain was a bonus for my son. He loved getting into... More

Prehaps we had high expectations of this activity, we are theme park junkies so it takes a fair bit to get our adrenaline racing and we didn't get as much of a buzz as we'd expected. The staff do take saftey seriously and you are well harnessed with sturdy feeling equipment. Transport to the zip wires is up some stepp... More

My daughter, who was 12 at the time, and I did this while in Skagway for the day on an Alaska cruise. I signed up online before the trip because it wasn't offered through the cruiseline. I was looking for the best zip line experience I could get. This one advertised the most lines, so I went for it, even... More

This company has made a great effort to present ziplining in a fresh, crisp, setting. From the time we sat in the open-air jeeps in order to get us up the hills to where the Zip lines were, I knew I was in for a thrill. I was not wrong. The jeep bumped over boulders, and swerved to avoid the... More
