2 reviews for Alaska Rainforest Sanctuary
AKA "Alaska Canopy Adventures" or "Rainforest Canopy & Zipline Adventure"
Avoid Ketchikan if you want an Alaskan experience--its mostly geared around selling you STUFF; Glittery STUFF, Fake Alaskan STUFF really made overseas, chachkies, and canned/smoked salmon.
If you like that kind of thing, great, but we really wanted an experience and this MADE THE TRIP!
Ziplining (You Tube tags: zipline ketchikan) is fast, fun, and safe; I had complete faith in the harness and the great guides. If you do this, you will have a BLAST even if it's raining, which it was for us.
We saw bald eagles and even a black bear from our tree stand perches. And we had plenty of laughs, and felt like heros when we made it back down to the gift shop (of course) for (1) complementary hot chocolate & cookies and (2) a digital picture of us on the zipline for $15 [yeah it's steep, but what are you going to do?]
A must do!
Zip-lining in Alaska was one of the most fun i had on the whole trip. You go from tree to tree with a harness and a helmet. The instructors were funny and really help you out. The best way to zip-line was cannonball style because you go a lot faster, rather than a normal sitting position. If your ever in Ketchikan, AK, you gotta try this out. We saw one bald eagle from the trees, but i didn't get a really good picture... There is two courses to choose from, i forgot which one i went on, but i think it had more "zip-lines."
