Zipline & Adventure Excursions on an Alaska Cruise
If wildlife watching isn't your speed, Alaska cruise ports offer some genuinely thrilling adventure excursions. The zipline courses run through old-growth temperate rainforest canopy, and Icy Strait Point holds the record for the world's largest zip ride.
Top Zipline Experiences
Icy Strait Point ZipRider — A 5,330-foot, 60 mph descent from a 1,300-foot mountain down to the waterfront. Six riders launch side-by-side. This is not a canopy tour — it's a genuine thrill ride with panoramic views of the Icy Strait.
Ketchikan Rainforest Canopy Tour — Multiple ziplines connected by suspension bridges through 800-year-old Sitka spruce. More of an eco-adventure experience than a pure adrenaline ride.
Juneau Zipline Adventure — Rainforest course near Eaglecrest with mountain and channel views between platforms.
