The guide had the same name as me so I was referred to as Zip-Will and Willbo the entire time. 10/10 would do again. P.S, hi Javier’s mom

Everything was great and the zip line was very fun. I liked the bridges and the rappel at the end was a fun way to get off of the platforms. But the best part was the guides. Our guides were Mack and Peyton (Pey Pey) and they did a great job. I was with my grandma and she was nervous about the experience but they helped her from start to finish. Every time she needed help or some courage they gave it to herThey were funny and made the gaps between zip lining fun too. I also liked the gift shop because I got a stuffed porcupine and some stickers, 10/10. Not just the guides were nice but everyone from the drivers to the picture and cashier people were nice and helpful. :)

Six of us (5 adults and one teen) signed up for this excursion through our Royal Caribbean Cruise. Two of us, the teen and I, had done this in August 2018 with my, at the time 82 year old father-in-law, her grandfather. Reflecting upon this adventure, we had just as much fun as we did the first time especially since we saw more wildlife, as in bears! On a day of temps near 70 degrees and clear blue skies, we had a pleasant bus ride from the port or Ketchikan to the zip line location complete with informative narration about the history and facts about Ketchikan. We were welcomed by zip line guides and promptly weighed to make sure we complied with the weight requirements (not less than 90 and more than 250 pounds). They escorted us to an open aired big transport vehicle which drove us up a steep mountain incline to an alpine like building to be outfitted with our zip line gear. They have bathrooms there so you can go before you go down the mountain. They equip you with harnesses, gloves (used for breaking sometimes) and helmets. They store backpacks and other stuff like purses in secure totes which meet you at the bottom of the run. Counting out nine in our group, we met our zip line leader Mack, a Ketchikan local believe it or not, (many of the young people guiding these are from the lower 48). He was assisted by Cora and Katie (who happened to also be the ones to weigh us and take us up to the outfitter.) They took our two groups outside to a safe and secure platform for our instructions. They really take the time to make sure one understands all the rules and safety matters. They are all equipped with walkie-talkies to communicate to each other all the way down. And they check the gear along the way down with safety on their minds. The cables are new, plastic coated with the zip devices connected safely with additional cabling backup for added safety. After that, they started us out with a small descent run. There are two routes they employ going down. The one my father-in-law, niece and I had done in 2018 had us lowering ourselves as well as being lowered by a pulley system. The route we took this time had us walk across three rope bridges made of composite decking wood. All the launchpad/landing-pad platforms are made of this all weather sturdy material. I would recommend wearing shoes with deeper grid soles as I tended to slide going down and climbing up in my Adidas’ cloudfoam soled shoes. There are traction steps installed on the planks to help get footing. That said, the three guides split up to make sure everything was safe for our party. There are rope railings all along these bridge walks. The trio were fabulous serving us and helping those who were unable to get to the next platform if they didn’t have enough momentum or braked too early. Definitely take your smartphone/camera along as long as you can secure it in a zip pocket on your body. The trio gave us ample time for pictures. They pointed out a salmon hatchery below us and young bald eagles sparring with each other in flight above. Before our last long decline they pointed out their photographer perched on the next platform who took pictures of each one of us going down. The pictures were available at the outpost upon us getting out of of gear. Upon reaching the last platform, a member of our group spied a bear. We all took out our smartphones and captured the young bear doing it’s business. So it’s true, a bear does…in the woods! We watched it head off and then realized it was a cub because momma bear bounded out of the woods nearby and meandered around below our platform. Don’t worry, the zip line folks deal with this all the time! We had to just wait a bit before we descended on the rope pulley belay contraption. We walked to the outpost to deposit our gear, see the pictures their photographer took and shop in their store for souvenirs. It is also an Eagle Center for the area! Many thanks to Mack, Katie and Cora for a wonderful adventure!
