At Herring Cove, your all terrain custom 4 x 4 Unimog will transport you up a steep rainforest hillside to the canopy chalet. Here your professionally trained guides outfit you with state of the art safety equipment and provide a detailed orientation, prior to mounting the first platform.
Size really does matter! Your rainforest canopy challenge features a flight over 8 ziplines and 3 suspension bridges; 6,000 feet of high tension cables and ground based nature trails. Your guides will progressively ease you into the forest canopy along cables ranging from a short 100 feet to the 800 foot pulse pounding “Ben’s Revenge”. Guests often see eagle and bears from the tree platforms. Discover Eagle Creek falls, and cross 3 hanging sky bridges; all offering breathtaking views of the virgin forest below. You will be up to 135 feet above the forest floor.
Bordering the magnificent Tongass National Forest, this major rainforest reserve embraces one of Alaska’s richest salmon spawning streams and a pristine inter-tidal estuary. Abundant wildlife habitat here includes a high concentration of bald eagles, black bear, and a variety of other species. Throughout this adventure you will be surrounded by the sights and sounds of the rainforest wildlife reserve. Although wildlife sightings are frequent, they cannot be guaranteed.
The Eagle Creek course is for those who have already experienced ziplining or are seeking even more heart pounding adrenaline.The final zip line emerges from the rainforest and transports you over lush grassy wetlands to a viewing tower, 55 feet above ground. Descend stairs and walk to the gear-down area at the base camp, where each participant is presented with the custom cast Alaska Canopy Adventures medal, in recognition of their achievement. Upon completion of this once in a lifetime experience, enjoy a complimentary snack and hot beverage, view your photograph and shop in the General Store. A narration is provided on the scenic 16 mile round-trip dive to the reserve.
