This trip offers the excitement of zipping through the tops of Alaska's magnificent rainforest trees and a chance to observe black bears in the creeks below as they fish for salmon. The operation is safe, very well run and the staff is first class.

With Ketchican being one of the rainiest climates in the world, this company operates "rain or shine," and in our case, super rainy, but it made our experience all the more adventurous! (With so many trees, it's more of a drip on your helmet than any sort of downpour.) We had a great time. The guides were thorough and very... More

I got to go on a rare sunny day in Ketchikan and I'll be honest, looking at how high up we were I was sort of scared. But the guides we had showed us how to put on the safety equipment and double checked everything which made me feel loads better. They even told me that they could theoretically zip... More

Was staying in town for a few days, so we took a couple people from our group to ride the zip line. My young son and I did not ride, so we dropped the others off and came back later to pick them up. However, while we were there, it was all about charging us for something. Couldn't take a... More

We went with a large group of high school students and they made it a great experience for them and us the mom chaperones. It takes all morning but the views are amazing and it is really an exhilerating experience. I would do it again!

My parents, brother and I all did the ziplines last week. We had a blast, with 8 ziplines and 3 suspension bridges. The guides were super helpful and fun, they made sure that everyone had a great time.

My wife and I participated in this zipline while on our trip to Alaska last week. Neither of us had ever done this before but I worked in construction and am used to heights. The weather was perfect. It was a beautiful day for mid September in Alaska. We met our guides Tom and David, they outfitted us with all... More

We did the Bear Creek Zipline Adventure last week and had the best time ever! It was pouring with rain but that didn't dampen the spirits of our group and our two guides were great and made sure we had fun. I was impressed with how safety concsious they were also, checking our gear over and over and paying close... More

We had an awesome time soaring above the rainforest canopy in Ketchikan. There were 8 zip lines and 3 suspension bridges. I am over 60 and had no problem with the zips. Our guides were professional, most pleasant, and very safety conscious. The views from the platforms were fantastic. My only complaint is that it seemed to be over so... More

I took the Bear Creek Zipline Adventure tour, and it was a total blast! The guides were extremely nice and made us feel safe the entire time. We saw a bear on the ride up to the Zipline course, as well as several bald eagles. They taught us how to brake, and how to pull yourself up if you don't... More
