ZipRider Zip Line
If you are looking for real adventure then the ZipRider is for you! This ZipRider cable ride is the world's longest ZipRider zip line in the world at 5,330 feet long, and includes a 1,300 foot vertical drop. Your adventure begins with a narrated bus through the village of Hoonah and then up the mountainside. Once on top of the mountain it's a short walk to the launching area located 1,300 feet above sea level. After getting into your special harness seat you will have a moment to take in the view from the mountaintop. The ZipRider is six cables wide, and after all riders are in position it will seem like a race to the bottom! Accelerating to a maximum speed of 60 mph, you pass through a wooded area, soon afterward the bottom drops out and you will be 300 feet above the ground. If your eyes are still open you will see sweeping views of Port Fredrick, Icy Strait and your cruise ship! Your approximate 1.5 minute ZipRide ends with a gentle touchdown on the beach at Icy Strait Point.
