This is definitely an adventure you’ll never forget.
Chichagof Island is located 50 miles west of Juneau. On the island lies Icy Strait Point, a cruise line port of call located 1.5 miles away from the village of Hoonah.
Travel from Juneau takes about 3 hours and 15 minutes by boat, or a very quick 20 minute flight. The area is serviced by Alaska Airlines and the Alaska Marine Highway ferry system, as well as the cruise ships companies.
Riders are driven in a van through the town of Hoonah, a charming Alaskan village. The Hoonah Tlingit people have lived on the island for thousands of years.
The forests are rainy and brilliant green in Hoonah. Cedar trees are common and these towering giants form a beautiful canopy that protects the rainforest below.
After a scenic drive to the top of 1550’ Hoonah Mountain, riders travel a total of 5,330’ on the ziplines, making this the current Largest Ziprider in the World!
It is almost always rainy and cool in Hoonah, between 40-60 degree Fahrenheit. Riders are encouraged to dress in layers and required to wear close toed shoes.
