    What you'll see and do

    1. Alaska Excursions

      Grizzly Falls Ziplining Expedition in Skagway, Alaska Reserve Your Seats Fast, fun, and exhilarating, this approximately 4-hour adventure is sure to excite nature lovers and thrill seekers alike. Get a running start on solid ground and take flight into the treetops of the Alaskan rainforest. It all begins at your cruise dock where you meet your guide. From there, enjoy an entertaining and historic tour through downtown Skagway then drive along nine miles of stunning coastline. When you arrive at our base in Dyea, you will transfer into our customized Unimog—an all-wheel drive vehicle necessary for getting up our rugged mountain road. During your rugged ride up the mountain, look out at the impressive rainforest and glacially fed waterfalls. Get psyched—you’re about to fly over this wild landscape! At the top of the mountain, you will suit up in gear that meets the highest standards of safety while your highly trained guide tells you what to expect and how to safely navigate the course. You will then be led to the take- off zone, where you’ll clip in and fly away! You’ll soar through our exhilarating course of ziplines, the longest measuring 750ft—that’s longer than 2 football fields combined! But this is more than just any zip course, our lines will bring you directly above glacially-fed waterfalls, so close you can feel the mist as you zoom by! For the more cautious adventurers, rest assured that you can always control your own speed with a brake system. But we double dog dare you to let go and zoom up to 45 miles per hour! Of course, that’s a little too fast to take those perfect pictures of the Alaskan wilderness. That’s why we decided that a hardcore Unimog and breathtaking zip course over waterfalls just isn’t quite enough.So, we added four state-of-the-art suspension bridges. From these bridges, you’ll be able to capture stunning photos of you and your loved ones in the heart of Alaska’s wild beauty. After completing the course, pat yourself on the back, say goodbye to your guides, and enjoy your last ride in the Unimog to your bus at the bottom of the mountain. Take advantage of the scenic drive back to Skagway to look over your pictures and joke about who was the bravest zipliner. This is bound to be an “E.X.C.U.R.S.I.O.N of a lifetime”, one you will surely remember for years to come!

    Fabulous fun

    This was an amazing experience for my kids (5 and 11 y.o) we had a great time. I want to thank Russell for his service and support with my 5 y.o throughout all the path. He was so gentle and kind. Thanks for all the fun facts we learned about Tongass national forest

    This was the best...

    This was the best ziplining excursion! I felt safe the entire time & it was so beautiful. The guides were nice, professional, & went above and beyond to make sure you had the best experience. Savannah was fantastic! She was personable, friendly, & we could tell she loved doing her job. The tour bus guide Chris was so knowledgeable about Alaska & made the ride up the mountain extremely enjoyable.

    Best way to experience the gorgeous landscape

    Rachel and Mark were fabulous Zipline guides! A lot of us didn't have too much experience ziplining and were tentative at first. They made us feel comfortable and safe. The course is well designed too, with a couple shorter rides before the longest rides. I was thrilled to go upside down (on purpose) - when I saw the pictures when booking, it didn't look possible. I had even booked the train ride but cancelled it to do this, and I'm glad I did. There were beautiful waterfalls everywhere, incredibly beautiful landscape. This is one of the best ways to enjoy it - hiking would be too slow and limited; train and helicopter rides are too detached from the landscape. Ziplining simultaneously immerses you in the landscape and yet lets you soar above it. Also, I asked myself what memory would I rather have - I rode a train or I ziplined? A couple of us were solo travelers but we made friends on the course, took pictures and videos for each other so we have evidence of our adventure. Good luck with yours!

    AWESOME EXPEDITION . . . even for this Senior!!!

    My daughter, Lori, and I had an amazing Zipline experience with Grizzly Falls Tour. The entire staff was friendly and eager to ensure that we had a great time during our visit. Upon our arrival, Jaz and Sam Tank (our guides), made sure our group had the proper safety gear and prepared us for the adventure ahead. Sorry about grabbing one of your braids, Sam, instead of the white rope!! lol At the age of 74, I knew it would be a challenge, and both of the guides (along with our wonderful group) made me feel comfortable and confident with tackling the challenges. I loved that we didn't have to physically climb the mountain to get to the ziplines. Best of all, our guides made the experience fun and enjoyable. I highly recommend this excursion to anyone who is visiting the Skagway area!

    Grizzly Falls Ziplining Expedition: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Skagway.

    How much does Grizzly Falls Ziplining Expedition cost?

    +

    Prices start at $260 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Skagway usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Grizzly Falls Ziplining Expedition take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Skagway is not rushed.

    Is Grizzly Falls Ziplining Expedition worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 151 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Skagway, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Grizzly Falls Ziplining Expedition?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Grizzly Falls Ziplining Expedition suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Grizzly Falls Ziplining Expedition?

    +

    Around 53 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Skagway can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Skagway and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Grizzly Falls Ziplining Expedition start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Skagway within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Skagway?

    +

    Skagway is a Klondike Gold Rush town built for excursions: White Pass and Yukon Route rail trips, Yukon border drives, glacier flights, dog sledding on ice fields and gold panning. On Outty we rank every Skagway experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Skagway Shore Excursion: Full-Day Tour of the Yukon, Skagway City and Summit Tour, Skagway Shore Excursion: Half-Day Tour to the Yukon Border and Suspension Bridge. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Skagway?

    +

    May to September, the cruise season. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Skagway?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    +
