Zipping through the Forest - This is a must adventure if you are in Ketchikan. So much fun and learned a few things too. Went when it was raining and the zip line was faster so that made it more exciting. Can’t say enough good things about our guides, Harrison and Kate. They were so awesome and made us all feel at ease and enjoy the ride. They are the best! Hope to be back soon to do it again. Thank you Harrison and Kate for your great smiles and keeping us all safe and for the fun time.

Great Zip Lining Experience! - Our group of 6 experienced the Kawanti zip line tour, and we had a great experience. We were paired with guides Harrison and Sierra, and both were fun and incredibly professional as they moved us very safely and securely through the canopy of Ketchikan. The course was both beautiful and memorable with several really breathtaking zips. Even though we had some rain during our adventure, being dressed in windbreakers was enough to make the weather a non-issue. Overall, we full recommend this tour be added to the Alaska experience of anyone who wants both a safe and exciting addition to their trip!

Great adventure! - Our guides were Grace and Olivia. We had so much fun and they were great guides! High recommend this excursion. Had great views and even saw a baby bear. Even though it was raining, the rain forest covered us, as well as the gear and helmet. But you definitely want to wear layers and rain jacket/waterproof jacket. The activity level was moderate and very doable.

Best day ever - Jack and Will were amazing! We had so much fun. We learned about a bunch of different plants and trees in the forest, and we saw a black bear in a field on our last zip line! They kept us laughing the whole time and constantly checked for safety.
