I and my wife have never done anything like this before and we went on a real nice day. The first 2 platforms were not up high, but the third on down were way way up there,,,not for the weak of heart. We saw bears in the trees near our platform, we saw bald eagles fly by. Our instructors and...

Owner description:
Fast, fun, and exhilarating, this adventure is sure to excite nature lovers and thrill seekers alike! 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!

My husband and I along with 2 other couples booked our Grizzly Falls Zipline excursion several months before we were scheduled to cruise. I'm one that is very...VERY scared of hights and wanted to back out once we had booked it. Needless to say "This was one of my favorite excursions". Fast Freddy and Ross were excellant guides and made...

A quick read of the recent reviews tells the story. My wife just returned from her Alaska Cruise on the Golden Princes with her three daughters in law. Mom is 65 and the girls much younger. They couldn't stop raving about how much fun it was starting with the Unimog trip up the mountain and the entertaining staff. Mom is...

Hi, we are 64 years old and decided a trip to Alaska for our silver wedding - and why no throw in a zip lining tour while we where there. Read other trip advisors and they said it was safe and fun.

The crew and scenery made this zip experience an excellent one! We had a nice van ride to Dyea with a stop along the way to take photos at the head of the bay. The view was beautiful. When we got to "base camp" we transferred onto a unimog vehicle for a beautiful and exciting ride up the mountain with...

This summer we took our 8 and 10 year old on the 53 km hike on the original Gold Rush Chilkoot Trail. We found out that there was a new Zip lining course in Dyea. So we made it a carrot for the kids to minimizing their wining on the hike. They were pumped for weeks about zip lining.
Although...

Newer runs down the Mountainside of Skagway, where even the drive up the mountain is exciting and fun. Well worth every copper penny and a must do if you have never ziplined. Our team of experts thrilled, entertained and made sure our trip was safe, informative and just plain ole fun! Afraid of heights like I am, even the high...

The guys were great fun, with oozes of humour and experienced in using the ziplines they set up two years ago in the forests just above Dyea flats where the old town was.
There are also rope bridges over the steep fast flowing stream, and the guys encourage you to do some aerobatics while ziplining while you gain confidence.

By far the funnest adventure I have ever done! The zip team is amazing, I felt safe, comfortable and just getting to the venue itself is a special treat. Absolutely beautiful scenery on our way to the spot where we catch the unomog, (an all terrain vehicle that looks like something out of Transformers.) I was the only one who...
