Ziplines, totems, and bears, oh my!
Four of us, ages 66 to 75, decided to get brave and do this zipline adventure. It was my suggestion even though of the four, I am (or at least was) the most "afraid of heights." Sam and Sophie were our guides. They were both fun but also 100% professional and safety oriented. And most important, they made sure we all felt calm and safe. IT WAS A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE. I would go again any day--every day! Just before the very last zipline, as we stood high above the creek and grassy marsh, we saw a mother bear with 2 cubs. No one wanted to leave, and we were the last group of the day. We stayed longer than expected and enjoyed the show as the bears roughhoused, played in the water, and had a wonderful time. It was simply amazing.

First Time Ziplining in Ketchican Alaska
We had six couples in our group, and a couple of us, including myself, we're afraid of heights. Julian and Sam, our guides, couldn't have been better! They made the experience so much fun with always keeping our safety first. I give them and this experience a 10 out of 10. Thank you Julian and Sam!

Great zipline tour in bear country!
Thoroughly enjoyed the zip line tour with Ashley and Easton. They were both fun and engaging. Easton learned our names, and we enjoyed chatting with both of them. We even saw a bear at the end. Bonus! The only negative was trying to fill out waivers while they were giving us instructions. Very hard to pay attention to both at the same time.

Beautiful!!!
Amazing experience and beautiful scenery! Sophie and Julian worked together flawlessly❤️ They made every single person feel at ease and made it a personal experience by even remembering our names, asking each of us about ourselves. My only recommendation would be some pictures taken by staff while zipping. But this was a great experience, We thank you! Melissa and Jason Frank (Anniversary Zip❤️)

Why this scores 86
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Rainforest Canopy & Zipline Adventure in Ketchikan, AK: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ketchikan.
How much does Rainforest Canopy & Zipline Adventure in Ketchikan, AK cost?
+
Prices start at $205 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ketchikan usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Rainforest Canopy & Zipline Adventure in Ketchikan, AK take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 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 Ketchikan is not rushed.
Is Rainforest Canopy & Zipline Adventure in Ketchikan, AK worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 86 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 395 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Ketchikan, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Rainforest Canopy & Zipline Adventure in Ketchikan, AK?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Rainforest Canopy & Zipline Adventure in Ketchikan, AK suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Rainforest Canopy & Zipline Adventure in Ketchikan, AK?
+
Around 138 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 Ketchikan 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 Ketchikan and add a light layer if any part of the 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Rainforest Canopy & Zipline Adventure in Ketchikan, AK 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 Ketchikan 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 Ketchikan?
+
Ketchikan runs short, cruise-timed excursions: Misty Fjords floatplane flights, Tongass rainforest zip lines, totem park tours, crab feasts and wildlife boats up the Behm Canal. On Outty we rank every Ketchikan experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ketchikan Kayak Eco-Tour, Off the Beaten Path Ketchikan Photo Safari - 3 hr., Ketchikan Shore Excursion: Rainforest Canopy Ropes and Zipline Adventure Park. 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 Ketchikan?
+
May to September, matching the Alaska 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 Ketchikan?
+
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.
