Zipline Adventure Park


Your excursion begins on a scenic 25 minute drive out of downtown Ketchikan to Knudson Cove, an "off the beaten track" waterfront property in the Tongass National Forest-your playground for the next 2 hours. The park includes eight ziplines and eight unique aerial traverses which make this tour a diverse and interactive zipline experience.

Before you begin your adventure, professional guides will instruct and outfit you with the best safety equipment in an open air forest pavilion. After ground instruction, your adventure begins as gravity pulls you along a series of eight ziplines and eight connecting elements. You will catch glimpses of bald eagles and the ocean below as you glide through old growth cedars, fly into an ancient cedar tree onto the Eagle's Nest Platform, traverse a swaying log, swing across rope loops, feel the speed and acceleration of landing onto an ocean platform located 50' over the water, and the rush of zipping to a soft forest floor landing. Then head over to the optional 50-foot climbing tower where guides will show you techniques needed to climb to the top. A circular staircase inside the tower enables others to climb up, take in the mountain and ocean views, and snap photos of climbers proudly ringing the bell at the top of the wall.

Don't worry! These ziplines are easy. There is no hand braking. For the less adventurous members of your party, guides can assist you to skip elements. After your adventure, if time allows, visit the small store. T shirts, hats and soft drinks are there.

Notes for booking the tour: Participants are required to read and sign a liability form. Those under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. Dress in light layers with flexible closed toe shoes. We also don't recommend the tour for pregnant women and those who have back, neck or spinal issues. No experience is necessary.

"Lilly & Gabi made this such a fun adventure. Loved their positive & supportive encouragement throughout the morning. The zip line over the water was amazing. The scenery was gorgeous."

"This was the perfect day for adventure. Slight rain but it didn’t matter under the tree canopy. Beautiful course and lots of fun. Jacob and Cade were upbeat and kept everyone safe. They even inspired my teenagers to want to come back and work summers in Alaska. Thanks guys!"

"What a great time ziplining down 6 lines through the forest & over the open waters in Ketchikan. Our small group was led by Jacob & Sam, both of whom took safety as the main priority & ensured we had the best landings possible on all the platforms. Not once did I end up crashing into a tree! The weather was wet, but under the canopy of the trees, we were well protected & hardly noticed just how wet it really was. We had a great time zipping from tree to tree and I even took on the challenge course, which is not an easy feat as you had to traverse over 3 types of rope/step lines to get across from one tree to another. And once you commit to that first step, there was no going back… you had to complete them all. Jacob & Sam made sure to give us plenty of encouragement to accomplish this challenge."

"Super fun outfit, friendly guides all! We went zip-lining through the cedars and it was super fun and accessible. Know your "zip-song" so you are ready to belt it out on the Karaoke section! Recommended: "free-falling" or "wrecking ball". Peter and Katie were super!"
Yelp review by Ladd M, June 2023



"Exhilarating, challenging, and rewarding. Safety was # 1 overall. Clear instructions were given and guides insisted all rules were followed throughout the many lines. Peter and Ian were absolutely professional & well prepared to handle any situation if necessary. They narrated many historical aspects of the surrounding area and gave thanks to the huge cedar trees for allowing us to use them for our enjoyment."

"We had beautiful weather and the trees were amazing. Zipping over the water was fun! Katie and Peter were great guides who made it exciting and entertaining. We were in town one day before our cruise departed and this was an excellent way to spend our morning. We called to book the night before and Jared helped us out. They made it feel welcoming and the van ride we learned a lot about Ketchikan!"
