Zip Line & Adventure in Alaska

Rainforest canopy tours in Ketchikan and the world's largest zip ride at Icy Strait Point. High-energy alternatives to wildlife tours.

Zipline & Adventure Excursions on an Alaska Cruise

If wildlife watching isn't your speed, Alaska cruise ports offer some genuinely thrilling adventure excursions. The zipline courses run through old-growth temperate rainforest canopy, and Icy Strait Point holds the record for the world's largest zip ride.

Top Zipline Experiences

Icy Strait Point ZipRider — A 5,330-foot, 60 mph descent from a 1,300-foot mountain down to the waterfront. Six riders launch side-by-side. This is not a canopy tour — it's a genuine thrill ride with panoramic views of the Icy Strait.

Ketchikan Rainforest Canopy Tour — Multiple ziplines connected by suspension bridges through 800-year-old Sitka spruce. More of an eco-adventure experience than a pure adrenaline ride.

Juneau Zipline Adventure — Rainforest course near Eaglecrest with mountain and channel views between platforms.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Icy Strait Point ZipRider scary?

It's thrilling but safe. You're seated in a harness (not hanging by your arms) and the ride is gravity-powered — no jumping required. The 60 mph speed builds gradually. Height and speed-anxious riders report it's less scary than expected because the views are so distracting.
