Your adventure begins at your cruise dock where you will meet your guide and embark on a historic tour through downtown Skagway. You will then travel along nine miles of stunning coastline until you reach our base in Dyea. From there, you will transfer into a customized Unimog, an all-wheel drive vehicle necessary for the rugged mountain road ahead. During your ascent, you will be surrounded by the impressive Tongass National Rainforest and glacially fed waterfalls, providing a breathtaking experience in and of itself. But the real excitement begins when you reach the top of the mountain and suit up in safety gear that meets the highest standards. Your highly trained guide will brief you on what to expect and how to navigate the exhilarating course of ziplines, the longest of which measures 750ft - longer than two football fields combined! You'll soar above the Alaskan wilderness, directly over glacially-fed waterfalls, feeling the mist on your face as you zoom by at speeds of up to 45 miles per hour! But that's not all, we've added four state-of-the-art suspension bridges to our course, providing the perfect opportunity to capture stunning photos of you and your loved ones amidst Alaska's wild beauty. Once you've completed the course, take a last ride in the Unimog to the bus at the bottom of the mountain. As you head back to Skagway, take in the scenic drive and reflect on your brave adventure.
