Scenic Skagway, Coastal and Mountain Drive

Depart the pier for the approximately 35-minute sightseeing drive through historic downtown Skagway, then along nine miles (about 14 kilometres) of stunning coastline en route to Dyea. Upon arrival at the unimog base, board your customised all-wheel-drive unimog and proceed up the rugged mountain road, which offers stunning views of impressive rainforest and glacially-fed waterfalls.

Zip Line Tour

At the top of the mountain, your guides review your safety and tour instructions, and outfit you with state-of-the-art safety gear. Afterward, you are led to the take-off zone to clip in and begin your zip line experience. Soar through a course of 10 zip lines, the longest measuring 750 feet (228 metres), and stop by any of four suspension bridges for an opportunity to photograph your surroundings. In addition, pass directly above the glacially-fed waterfalls and feel their mist as you zoom by.

Mountain Drive

The zip line tour moves at high speeds however, more cautious adventurers can always control their speed with a brake system. After completing the course, re-board your unimog for the ride back down to the bottom of the mountain then commence the approximately 40-minute transfer back to the pier.
