Zip through Ketchikan’s rainforest, cross canopy obstacles, and take in forest and ocean views on an active outdoor adventure.

About this tour

Trade the streets of Ketchikan for a canopy of towering trees on a Ketchikan zipline and ropes course adventure in the Tongass National Forest. A scenic drive leads to Knudson Cove, where guides provide a safety briefing and gear before you head into the forest.

Fly between platforms on a series of ziplines, cross suspension bridges, and test your balance on canopy ropes and other challenge elements. The course offers views of the forest and ocean, with chances to spot bald eagles overhead. For an extra challenge, try the optional 50-foot climbing tower and ring the bell at the top. Guides are on hand to assist, and you can skip elements if you prefer. No prior experience is necessary, though moderate physical fitness is recommended. Safety equipment is provided, and one option includes port pickup and drop-off. After your Ketchikan zipline and ropes course experience, return to town with a fresh perspective on Alaska’s rainforest. Choose this Ketchikan zipline and ropes course for an active day among the treetops.

How the score works and rating distribution in Ketchikan
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 8.4. Top 18% in Ketchikan means it ranks in the top 18% of tours in Ketchikan by this score.
