Excursion Overview

Soar Above Alaska...Zipline Adventure Over Waterfalls & Wilderness!

Start your adventure in Skagway with a historic tour through downtown, then head out along 9 miles of breathtaking coastline. When you arrive at our base in Dyea, hop into a custom Unimog, an all-wheel-drive vehicle designed to tackle the rugged mountain road. As you climb, take in the stunning rainforest and glacial waterfalls before gearing up for your thrilling Grizzly Falls Ziplining Expedition.

At the top, you'll receive safety instructions from your guide, then head to the Grizzly Falls zipline launch zone. There, you'll soar over glacially-fed waterfalls on a course of 10 ziplines (one measuring 750 feet long), feeling the mist as you fly by. For those who prefer a slower pace, a brake system lets you control your speed—but we dare you to let go and reach up to 45 mph!

To capture the perfect photos of Alaska's wild beauty, we’ve added four state-of-the-art suspension bridges along the course. After finishing your zipline adventure, enjoy the scenic ride back to Skagway in the Unimog, reminiscing about your unforgettable experience and the breathtaking views. This excursion is sure to be one you'll remember for years!

Most departures are scheduled to align with cruise ship arrival times, with options typically available in the mid-morning and early afternoon.

This tour is typically available from April through September. Our excursions were designed for cruise ship passengers but are available to everyone.

The whole experience was stellar! We loved our guides, who were super helpful with our group (ages 8 - 45), taught us so much, helped us have a blast while safely ziplining through the most gorgeous places!!!!

This was so much fun! The scenery was gorgeous and the ziplining guides made the entire experience extra fun. The driver to and from town was excellent. The unimog ride up to the zipline start is an excellent add-on.

This was an extremely fun and memorable experience. We booked this separately because our cruise sold out. Turns out our cruise group was in our group anyway! The scenery was beautiful, the instructions were pretty clear and we were impressed by the lengths gone for safety (as they should). Jazz and her partner were super fun and even incorporated some birthday fun for me as part of the experience, which I really appreciated. We didn't know some of the people in our group, but they made it so fun and interactive it didn't even matter, we were all friends by the the second or third run. Highly recommend this experience!
