Zipline Adventure Park

Zipline Adventure Park

Your excursion begins on a scenic 25 minute drive out of downtown Ketchikan to Knudson Cove, an "off the beaten track" waterfront property in the Tongass National Forest-your playground for the next 2 hours. The park includes eight ziplines and eight unique aerial traverses which make this tour a diverse and interactive zipline experience.

Before you begin your adventure, professional guides will instruct and outfit you with the best safety equipment in an open air forest pavilion. After ground instruction, your adventure begins as gravity pulls you along a series of six ziplines and eight connecting elements. You will catch glimpses of bald eagles and the ocean below as you glide through old growth cedars, fly into an ancient cedar tree onto the Eagle's Nest Platform, traverse a swaying log, swing across rope loops, feel the speed and acceleration of landing onto an ocean platform located 50' over the water, and the rush of zipping to a soft forest floor landing. Then head over to the optional 50-foot climbing tower where guides will show you techniques needed to climb to the top. A circular staircase inside the tower enables others to climb up, take in the mountain and ocean views, and snap photos of climbers proudly ringing the bell at the top of the wall.

Don't worry! These ziplines are easy. There is no hand braking. For the less adventurous members of your party, guides can assist you to skip elements. After your adventure, if time allows, visit the small store. T shirts, hats and soft drinks are there.

*transportation from the cruise pier to the venue and return is included in the fare.
