A Family Friendly Tour

  KTN-151 Rainforest Ropes & Zipline

See the rainforest like eagles do as they fly over the forest canopy.  This is more than a zipline experience…this outing is a perfect way for you to soar over and into the canopy of Southeast Alaska’s temperate rainforest AND stimulate your senses. Rainforest Ropes and Zipline is a course of eight different spans across trees and ziplines, with the added option of a 50’ climbing tower for the most adventurous participants.

After 25 minute ride along the island coast, arrive at this “off the beaten track” site and be greeted by your guides.  Take a short walk into the forest where you will be outfitted with safety equipment and receive detailed instruction on how you will navigate the course.  Your first challenge will get you off the ground as you gain confidence in your belay system on a balance beam. Test your balance as you gain elevation in a series of challenges. Ascend higher into the trees across increasingly difficult elements including burma loops, a slack line, a postman’s walk and a swinging log which will lead you to the first of three zip line platforms. Soar through the forest canopy to an old growth cedar then negotiate more elements between the trees to reach the other zipline platforms.

Your adventure does not stop there.  Head over to the climbing wall and ascend any or all of the four sides of the tower, or take the circular stairs to take in the forest and view of Clover Passage.  From easy to difficult climbing surfaces to the Giant’s Ladder, the tower has something for everyone.  When you reach the top, ring the bell and let everyone know your success!
