Couldn’t stop laughing and whooping

Ashley and Easton were excellent guides. Safety first and always. Lots of laughter and fun. Funnnnnnnnn

A Great Tour With Zach and Maya!

AshleyTate_H, Jun 2026
Zach and Maya were awesome! They made us feel very safe and shared lots of information about the course, themselves, and Ketchikan. They constantly explained what was happening, what we were doing, and checked our gear multiple times throughout to ensure we were all safe. Our group was 9 people total (we were a party of 2 paired up with two groups of 3 and a local) with ages ranging from 12 to ~65. We were able to start and finish the course within 2 hours. One of the group members was very nervous about the course but still felt safe throughout and was able to complete the full course. Another group that had left before us had a member decide they didn't want to participate and staff were able to safely remove them from the course before the first zipline. They didn't make her feel bad or belittle her, simply had staff walk with her back to the gear room which was nice. We were too early for bear season but we did see a few eagles flying above us during the course. The gift shop also had lots of great items to choose from as well as a cafe and clean restrooms. The transportation from the port to the course and vice versa was quick and easy.

Not one long zip line, but nine separate ones.

If you have any nervousness about jumping off a tree top high above the air, tethered only to a cable, have no fear. The staff and employees who took us through each of. One zip lines checked, double checked and triple checked to make sure we were attached. Each time, we arrived at the landing, they would look us in the eye and check how we’re feeling, and making sure our harnesses were snug. They really seemed concerned about our well being and that we were having fun. We were! Thanks to Jack and Stephanie for making this a memorable experience.

Amazing zipline experience!

Wendy_B, May 2026
Very easy pickup by the cruise port and return to the port after our zipline. Amazing experience to zipline in the trees from platform to platform. There were 8 lines and the final rappel which was very unique. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Sophie and Tori was excellent guides and helped us all feel comfortable and we loved the entire experience. I would highly recommend this zipline if you are in Ketchikan.

Great experience! I would do it again!!

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!!

Zipping through the trees

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.
