A superb small group adventure. This is not a production line zipline trip like most I have been on. And you can take your own pics. It was a bit over-challanging for an 84-year-old guy like me, but I did it. Transportation from town was in an 8-passenger van. And we were the only group there. Great zipping with some over water. Best zip-lining I have ever done.

Super fun, I found this on Viator and the whole process was easy to schedule, and easy to contact once we arrived since we were worried about pick up and such, but they were fantastic! Our guides also had historical knowledge they shared, and even gave us some cool pointers for visiting place in town!

**Please arrive no later than THE TOUR TIME.** Our representative will be expecting you then at "The Rock " (a life sized bronze statue of people). "The Rock" is located on Berth 2 which is opposite the corner of Mission and Front Streets. Our representative will be holding a sign that says the name of your tour, "Alaska Boatman Tour" or " Eagle Island Sea Kayaking". Please allow yourself up to 15 minutes from the time you disembark the cruise ship to locate the meeting point depending which cruise ship berth you are arriving on. See below for Ward Cove Dock arrival (Norwegian Cruise Lines and Oceana Cruise Lines) Ward Cove Guests(Norwegian and Oceana Cruise Lines): If your tour time is earlier than 9am we would like to pick you up at Ward Cove. If your tour time is after 9am you have time to visit town before your tour if you like. For Norwegian ships this is often your only chance to see downtown Ketchikan, take the free shuttle from Ward Cove Dock(be sure to give yourself 45 min from the time you hop on the shuttle until the tour meeting/start time.. At 9am the shuttle line can be very long! Early bird gets the worm! The Shuttle (15-20 min ride) will drop you off on Dock 4 and it is a 10-15 min walk to Dock 2 to meet at"The Rock" described above or you can request to be picked up at Ward Cove. Please keep in mind if you're getting picked up at Ward Cove Dock we will be there 10-15 minutes after the meeting time listed above(WE RECOMMEND THIS FOR ALL EARLY MORNING TOURS 7:00 - 9:15am). For a Ward Cove pick up you will meet inside of the Ward Cove terminal in the back right corner of the building next to the garage door and the bathrooms. Look for our representative who will show up in the garage doorway with a sign with your TOUR name on it. "Alaska Boatman Tour" or "Eagle Island Sea Kayaking".

Itinerary

Choose from a morning or afternoon departure, and after port pickup in Ketchikan, head to a nearby zipline adventure park. Upon arrival, receive a safety briefing on your equipment and an overview of the park layout ahead.

Get your heart racing as you zoom along seven ziplines and eight canopy ropes. Take a few moments to admire the lush scenery from the platforms before jumping off, and explore the park’s other challenges, including rope bridges, suspended logs, and steps that swing. If you're feeling particularly courageous, tackle the climbing tower and circular staircase, 50 feet (15 meters) high, and snap bird’s-eye shots from the top.

Your shore excursion ends with worry-free transport back to Ketchikan port. Plus, if your ship is delayed and you are unable attend this activity, your money is refunded.

Knowledgeable guides! Beautiful scenery! Would do again. It's often cold and wet from the rain, so do bring waterproof clothes, but it's southern Alaska. You should expect rain.

We had so much fun! The entire team is amazing and the adventure includes climbing wall (if you are in the mood for it). Great experience overall. My parents were over 60 and they loved doing it.

So much fun!

It was so much fun and hanging out with Liam and Shea for a few hours was a blast. They were the friendliest and funniest zip line crew we could have asked for!

Brilliant flying through the air

Tracey_H, Aug 2025
We had a fantastic time. Our guilds were Kane and Ethan and they were brilliant. I have never done this before and I would do this again. Absolutely brilliant guides.

Chris_W, Aug 2025
We had a great experience with Mallory and Eli as our guides. We zipped through the trees and even over water. Eli and Mallory were very knowledgeable of all the in and outs of ziplining and all the nature around us. We had a great time.

Liz_N, Aug 2025
It was a lot of fun and our guides were great not only with the zip line instructions but they also gave much information about the forest plants and trees!! The only problem was we had 12 people and everyone has to finish one zip line before going to the next so there is a lot of standing around waiting. They advertise that at the end they have a rock wall that people are able to climb if they want but because we finished late were not able to do the climb. I know the company is trying to make money so trying to get as many people as they can per group but they should limit the amount of people to 8-10 per guides so can go a little quicker.

The best excursion !

JanetGumaer_T, Aug 2025
Sarah and Peter were great ! Very personable and helpful ! Challenge yourself, you won’t be disappointed !

Great Ziplining experience for both first timers and people who love to zipline

Stephanie_G, Jul 2025
Such a pretty ziplining course! You can’t beat ziplining through the beautiful green trees and there’s a bonus little “obstacle course” in the trees. Guides were also great! Definitely recommend and would do it again if I return to Ketchikan!

So much fun!!!

joshua_k, Jul 2025
This excursion was awesome! Frank and Cade were fun, knowledgeable, and patient. Their infectious positivity added to our fun! The forest we zipped through was full of big beautiful Red Western Cedars. The bay we zipped over had starfish and sea lions. We learned all about those things from our guides. Highly recommend this outfit!!! Thanks guys!!!

Great time for the kiddos

SARAH_Y, Jun 2025
Frank & Eli were great. Super knowledgeable about the town as well as zip lining. We had an awesome time. Highly recommend.

Rain did not dampen our fun!

Linda_W, Jun 2025
So much fun, despite constant rain. Our guides, Shay and Kevin, were so funny and knowledgeable. We always felt like we were in safe and capable hands. Adventure included 6 zip lines. Not very difficult but exciting enough.

Awesome zipline guides

MaryBeth_S, Jun 2025
Our guides were amazing and we liked the extra obstacle course activities. The forest was beautiful at the location. The zip lines were not as long as other zipline experiences we have gone on.

Let go and have fun

Svein_D, May 2025
Definitely a must do Had so much fun without any compromise of safety We were well informed on the equipment and how to do and what not to do My first time and I did a free fall at the end with full confidence in our guides What a rush!!!

Fun experience!

Elizabeth_D, Sep 2024
My husband and son had fun! They really enjoyed it the experience. Probably one of the highlights for my son.

Great Zipline tour

Bill_L, Sep 2024
Guides Gabby and Spencer were great! They were excellent about safety for everyone and very knowledgeable about the area. Highly recommend this Zipline

Good family fun

Nick_S, Aug 2024
A great family adventure. Frank and Eli were funny, personable, but most of all, professional. We felt safe and confident when ziplining. I would recommend them.

Fun, beautiful adventure...

Ryan_W, Aug 2024
Fun, beautiful adventure with great guides. We flew through the tree tops and climbed on the ropes course. At the end of the tour there was a rock wall to conquer.

A GREAT Zip line experience

GregBuchholz, Jul 2024
The expert team of Daniel & Kate that gave us such great direction and advice. Was a fun time and I would recommend going to do this fun event. Best part for me was the last line and having that experience of what I think was soooo much fun thank to Daniel putting in that extra effort!!

Great experience.

Dave, Jul 2024
Once we found the meeting place, everything else went perfectly. Zip lines were terrific and challenging.

Awesome Zip line Experience.

Karen_B, Jun 2024
Zip lining over the water. This was an awesome experience. This my niece's first time cruising and first time zip lining. We had a blast. The really challenging part was the suspension bridges but I safely made it across all five. I highly recommend it to young and old. The tour guides were awesome and took everyone's safety very seriously. I was able to record the whole experience using a helmet with a GoPro mount.

Great day in Ketchikan

JosephF_V, Jun 2024
