(~10 minutes) – Your friendly tour guide will meet you near the Skagway Small Boat harbor sign and restrooms. Here they will take the opportunity to get to know you and provide answers to any questions that you might have about your upcoming excursion.
(~20 minutes) – We’ll depart from our meeting point by van for an interpretive driving tour of historic downtown Skagway on our way up the Klondike Highway to our private zip line site on Porcupine Mountain.
(~15 minutes) – From our private parking area, a short uphill walk along our forest nature trail will bring us to our base camp. Here, your expert guides will get you outfitted with state of the art equipment including a helmet and waist and chest harnesses. Next, you’ll receive a thorough orientation and safety briefing for your upcoming zipping experience.
(~ 60 minutes) – Your guides will start you off in our Adventure Park – 3 high ropes elements that will get you off the ground and confident in your gear. These bridges lead you to our “baby” zip line – an easy intro to the zipping experience!
(~ 60 minutes) – Next your guides will then lead you to the heart of the experience – 5 zip lines through the lush Alaskan canopy! Our zip line course uses a guide-controlled hands-free braking system. So you’ll just be able to sit back and enjoy the ride as you zoom through the trees.
(~ 15 minutes) – Our adventure wraps up in our rough-cut timber kiosk for some hot cocoa and trail mix snacks.
(~15 minutes) – A short walk back down the nature trail will bring us back to our private parking area. We’ll depart the trail for a scenic ride back through the Skagway Valley and back to town.

Where will I meet my guide?
Your guide will meet you 15 minutes prior to the tour start time to make sure all necessary paperwork is completed. If you are arriving by cruise ship, your guide will meet you at the end of the pier that your ship docks at. Otherwise the meeting location is the Small Boat Harbor sign. CLICK HERE to see a map detailing these locations in Skagway. Your guide will be holding a sign that says “Skagway and Haines Excursions”.
Who are my guides?
Your zipline tour guides are experts in the industry. They are fun, well-trained and passionate about guiding and sharing their expert knowledge about the history and natural wonder of Haines and Skagway, Alaska with you! Our staff all go through extensive training and hold current first-aid (mostly WFR and WEMT) certification. Many of our guides also lead courses and guided expedition trips for us both in Alaska and throughout the world.
Is there a bathroom?
Restrooms are available on the dock prior to departing for your tour, and a non-flushing restroom is at the start/finish of the walk up to the zip site.
Do you cancel due to weather?
Our tours embrace Southeast Alaska’s unpredictable weather. Our tours and excursions run rain or shine. If in a rare instance weather does cause us to cancel the tour you will be refunded in full and provided with assistance with finding an alternative activity for the day.
How long are your zip lines?
They range from just under 100′ to over 200′, and you will be as high as 80′ in the air!
