Zoom through the mist of glacial waterfalls at a swift 45 miles per hour on a ziplining excursion through Tongass National Rainforest. With an impressive 11 lines, the longest measuring 750 feet, plus multiple suspension bridges, the zipline course is the largest in Alaska. No previous experience is necessary and children as young as six can join in the fun.

Begin your adventure by enjoying an entertaining and historic tour through city centre Skagway, followed by a serene drive along nine miles of stunning coastline. When you arrive at the base in Dyea, transfer into a customised Unimog—an all-wheel drive vehicle necessary for getting up the rugged mountain road.

At the top of the mountain, suit up in gear that meets the highest standards of safety while your highly trained guide tells you what to expect and how to safely navigate the course. Be led to the take-off zone, where you’ll clip in and fly away. Soar through an exhilarating course of ziplines, the longest measuring 750ft—that’s longer than 2 football fields combined.

But this is more than just any zip course, the lines will bring you directly above glacially-fed waterfalls, so close you can feel the mist as you zoom by. For the more cautious adventurers, rest assured that you can always control your own speed with a brake system.

Of course, that’s a little too fast to take those perfect pictures of the Alaskan wilderness. That’s why there are four state-of-the-art suspension bridges. 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.

After completing the course, pat yourself on the back, say goodbye to your guides, and enjoy your last ride in the Unimog to your bus at the bottom of the mountain. Take advantage of the scenic drive back to Skagway to look over your pictures and joke about who was the bravest zipliner.
