Alaska Zip Line Tours
Zip line tours are a unique way to observe the flora and fauna of Alaska. From atop your perch in a mighty spruce tree, each 'zip' allows for an intimate adventure experience among the forest canopy. Alaska's state tree, the Sitka Spruce, becomes the cornerstone of the zip line adventure, and it can be surprising to see the other plants and animals relying upon the treetops for food or shelter. Listen for birds, look for mosses and lichens, and take time to peer across the forest at the green scene before you.
Choose the Stoney Creek Canopy Adventure tour in Seward for a three-hour experience in a temperate rain forest on the Kenai Peninsula. An excellent option for cruise line guests, Stoney Creek's course begins atop a valley ridge and works downward through an eight-zip course that also features three suspension bridges and two rappels.
For visitors to Alaska's Denali National Park region, the Denali Park Zipline experience begins with a short ride through the wilderness to the first of seven zips with sweeping views of the park and surrounding mountains. With six sky bridges also part of the course, the tour ends with a traverse of the tundra on the Ascending Bridge Tower.
Stopping in the village of Talkeetna? Catch amazing views of Denali and the beautiful Susitna River Valley as you fly through a borreal forest on the Denali Zipline Talkeetna Tour, a nine-zip course that pairs well with other Talkeetna activities.
Zipline tours operate rain or shine, so dressing appropriately is important. Wear close-toed shoes and layers that can accommodate Alaska's fast-changing weather.
Companies will often pick up guests at their hotel, making the tour a seamless transition from door to door. Check with the operator for times.
Most tours are three hours in length, making way for other activities like rafting, hiking, or a bus trip depending upon the location. If you are embarking or disembarking an Alaska cruise, zipline tours coordinate well with departure or arrival schedules.
