Whether it’s your first time in Juneau of your fiftieth, experience one of Alaska’s great cities in a thrilling new way. Ziplining from tree to tree is safe and a blast when you’re with the award-wining Alaska Zipline Adventures. Take Dad for Father’s Day, consider it a graduation gift, go solo while on business, or call it a hot date. GoPro rentals are available so you can capture your zipping POV video to show friends back home.
Nothing compares to zooming through the rainforest as you go from one suspension bridge to the next. Located in the Tongass National Forest and the Eaglecrest Ski Area, you’re flanked by mountains and majestic old-growth woods. Treehouse platforms allow for comfortable zipping, and you’ll stay warm with the complimentary blueberry tea.

Still haven’t had enough? Try out Axe Throwing and meet your inner lumberjack. At the lodge, you can sip on a local beer while perusing your photos and the gift shop. All zipliners have to be at least eight years old and between 75 and 250 pounds.
There’s also the Zip and Glacier Combo Tour, which follows up your ziplining with a drive through the Mendenhall Glacier. A self-guided walk along the trails is a relaxing end to a fun-filled day—but watch out for bears! You may spot eagles and a menagerie of other local furry and winged residents. Take in the gushing waterfall and reflect on the adventure-filled day you’ll never forget.
