Ally and Hallie were simply the best. Everyone we interacted with was so friendly and genuinely funny. This company definitely knows how to hire the right people for the job. We were first timers and the directions were very clear and easy to follow. A truly unforgettable experience!

We will 100% recommend this incredible experience to everyone looking for a fun, adventurous, and memorable opportunity! The scenery, the many different zip-lines, and our guides (Harrison & Allison - “Team Sons”) made this something we will never forget, and will always want to do again!!
Best and most exciting way to see the Ketchikan, Alaska forest…from the tree tops!!

The guides were great with the group. Some adventurous and some younger ones that were a bit hesitant. Everyone made it smiling through it all.
Devon_L, Jul 2025
Our large family had a blast! Cole and Hailey did an amazing job helping us and keeping us safe. There were a few of us that had never zip lined and are afraid of heights. However, Hailey and Cole were patient and coached us through. Definitely a 10/10.

Such a fun experience. Harrison and Edwin were both great guides and made the experience so fun. It was raining the whole day but still one of the most fun things I've ever done!
Tracy_H, May 2025
We had a quick stop in Ketchikan and this was a perfect outing for our family. After a mix up with pick up time and place, once we started the journey to the zip lines it was all well organized. Our guides were incredible and we all enjoyed our time zipping through the trees. Can’t recommend Cole and Harrison enough.

I can't say enough about the great experience. We had zip lining with Javier and Shelby. We had a rough start to arriving to the adventure due to tendering and Kan with the princess sapphire. Kawanti went above and beyond to make sure we made it to our excursion of zip lining with a group of eight people. Thankfully, we had all filled out our waivers ahead of time so if anyone has not done that word of advice is go ahead and do it prior to arriving for your excursion. they had two teams there to assist us so that we had a great time going from zip to zip and we had the pleasure of seeing a black bear feeding in the stream below so we actually got a two for one excursion. It was beautiful to go from tree to tree throughout the rainforest in Alaska We highly recommend @Kawantiadventures for your trip

Hope and Logan were absolutely amazing and made this a top tier experience. The views were great and even got to see a couple black bears!
Robert_B, Aug 2024
John was a great guide. He really knew the forest. The hike was good. Not too hilly. He also told us of good places to eat in town.
Britt_M, Aug 2024
Oh group had an amazing time with Sterling and Lee! We had a smaller group and so the time went a little more quickly than the three hours stated. Directions were given clearly and we felt safe. My 9 year old daughter went and had the best time!
Kristen_B, Aug 2024
Hanging out with the crew!! Everyone was so wonderful! They made it such a great experience we can’t wait to go back
Shannon_D, Aug 2024
The scenery and being able to fly through the treetops. Emmet and Kris were humorous and knowledgeable about their surroundings and Alaska. All three of my teens had a great time. Even the one scared of heights and that's saying something!
Liz_T, Jul 2024
Great pictures. Fun experience for a large family vacation to Alaska. Good for kids 12-18. Thank you.
Angela_H, Jul 2024
We had a great time with Joe and Tommy as our guides! I would definitely recommend it! It’s a great way to experience the rain forest, too!
Linda_U, Jul 2024
Javier ans Hope were very friendly and encouraging. They ensured everyone in the group had fun and felt safe throughout the course!
Annette_H, Jul 2024
The course was well maintained, sturdy, safe. Guides were knowledgeable. Zip lines so fun with amazing views, like flying with the eagles. Downside would be that our group was rushed at the top when getting our gear on, putting away items that we couldn’t carry, filling out waivers (16 people around 3 iPads) and using the bathroom one more time!! Gentle reminders to fill out waivers prior to arriving would’ve been great for our group.
Jing_F, Jul 2024
My first time Zipline experience here. I absolutely love it. The staff Grace, Desnery, Alex are brilliant. The best service too! Definitely recommend must to do list!
louise_c, Jul 2024
Our zip line guides, Javi and Lilah, gave us an amazing adventure and are great at what they do. Despite being slowed down by groups ahead of us, they managed to make the waiting time pass by quickly with their humor and their interesting facts. Javi’s expert knowledge on birds and Lilah’s on bear and salmons’ life cycle made our experience entertaining and fascinating. The two were a perfect pair together with a combination of goofing around while making sure we felt safe. They are great at what they do and they helped make our first Alaska trip that much more memorable. We will definitely be recommending this place to our friends and family!
Brandon_L, Jul 2024
Shelby and the team were a lot of fun. The sights and sounds at the top of the zipline were incredible, and we felt safe the whole time.
