Zip Line: Live the thrill of gliding through a rich rain forest 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. An all-terrain custom 4x4 Unimog will transport you up a steep rain forest hillside to the canopy chalet. Professionally trained guides will outfit you with state-of-the-art safety equipment and provide a detailed introduction before you mount the first platform. Canopy challenge features a ‘flight’ over eight ziplines and cables range from a short 100 ft up to 600 ft with platform as high as 100 ft above the ground.
Sky Bridge: Travel the Alaskan forest over a cable bridge with wooden slats 30 ft above the ground. This is the perfect way to enjoy the scenery and have fun as you complete a 10 ft long bridge.
Rappel Adventure: After you have felt the adrenaline of the zipline and the fun of the bridge, top it off with rappelling, an exhilarating experience. Your professional tour guides will have control of your safety at all times. All you have to do is to enjoy the ride for as long as it lasts!
