Soar over glacial waterfalls on a Skagway ziplining expedition with 11 lines, four suspension bridges, and sweeping rainforest views.

About this tour

Fly above glacially fed waterfalls on a Skagway ziplining expedition through the wild Tongass National Rainforest. With waterfall mist in the air and forest stretching across the mountainside, this four-hour adventure offers a thrilling way to experience Alaska’s rugged scenery.

Start with a historic drive through downtown Skagway and a scenic route along the coast to the course near Dyea. After gearing up and receiving instruction from your guide, take on 11 ziplines, including a 750-foot line, and cross four suspension bridges with time to admire the views and take photos. A brake system lets you control your speed, and no previous ziplining experience is necessary. Transportation to and from the pier, equipment, and an instructor are included.

The Skagway ziplining expedition is open to guests ages 6 and up who meet the 50–265-pound weight requirement. Wear comfortable clothes and closed-toe shoes, and bring water and a camera. Get ready to soar over the rainforest and see Skagway from a fresh perspective.
