Rainforest
Canopy & Zipline Adventure
Original
Canopy Eco-Adventure! Take a water shuttle, cross an aerial suspension bride and
take a an exciting zipline across the treetops.
Once in a lifetime thrill! This eco-adventure combines a once in a lifetime thrill of
flying across a series of zip lines in the rich rainforest, traversing a
suspended “sky-bridge”, crossing the channel aboard an expedition craft,
ascending a mountain in a 6 x 6 off-road vehicle, and exploring hidden relics
of a world famous historical gold mine.
Board a high speed vessel for a Gastineau Channel crossing, passing Mayflower Island and Suicide Falls,
with a beach landing at the remote Treadwell mine site on Douglas Island. From
here an off-road vehicle takes you
to the forest outfitting base camp. Your professionally trained guides will
outfit you with state of the art safety equipment and provide a detailed safety
briefing, before transporting you up the densely forested hillside to the first
zip line tree platform. This is your introduction to nearly a mile of high
tension cables linking a network of platforms mounted high in carefully
selected Sitka spruce trees.
Your guides will progressively ease you into the forest canopy. Cross an aerial
suspension bridge, with breathtaking views of spectacular Bullion Creek, and
enjoy unique views of Juneau from the tree tops. Discover hidden ruins of the
historic Treadwell Mine (1881-1917), once one of the world’s largest gold
mines. You will have an opportunity to explore the ruins of the original mine
refinery, where millions of dollars of molten gold was poured into ingots.
Throughout this nature based adventure you will be surrounded by the sights and
sounds of Alaska’s rainforest. On the last zip line you will soar to base camp,
where each participant receives a light snack and is presented with a
custom cast Alaska Canopy Adventures medal, in recognition of your achievement.
Your guide provides an informative narration throughout your journey.
