Rare teacherman Posted May 14, 2012 #1 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I have heard that there is a pretty long zipline at this port. Can you just go ashore and buy a ticket, or must it be done as part of a ship tour? We generally try to do things "on our own" without using ship tours. Any information or advice is welcome. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinkd Posted May 15, 2012 #2 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Hey there - we were there in 2009 and returning again in 12 weeks. We just rocked up on the day and booked this. You go on a bus ride to the top and then Zipline down - it was AWESOME!!! You will love it. No probs with booking direct on the day!!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle 123 Posted May 15, 2012 #3 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Wow I just did a search on you tube, there are some amazing videos of folks on the zip line. It really does look fantastic. If you just turn up and book how much does it cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twinkd Posted May 16, 2012 #5 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Hey there - from memory maybe $120.00??? It was a few years ago so don't remember exactly. BUT it was fantastic and I thought it was worth the money - loads of fun BUT over way too quickly!!:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle 123 Posted May 16, 2012 #6 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Thanks for the info, will have to see if the budget allows! What with the Helicopter tour, kayaking, whale watching, hike and float the Chilkoot trail plus the speciality dining package we have already spent a fortune!! It will be worth it I am sure;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be worth it I am sure;) Go for it..You guys need excitement !! You will enjoy AK better than a short cruise around the Pacific South West LOL When you leave the top you can hardly be seen at the bottom and slowly come into sight. It's a long way down. (not that I ever did it. GVW not big enough for me) Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
