5.00On my Alaskan cruise, I took a Zipline excursion with Kawanti Adventures in Ketchikan. The experience was amazing and I would do it again in a heartbeat. I am very afraid of heights, but at no time did I not feel safe. The crew helped us with our gear and made sure everything was fitted properly and we knew exactly what to expect. Hannah and Stevie were absolutely wonderful. They helped and encouraged me every step of the way. When I had difficulty, they talked me through what to do and made me feel safe as they guided me in. Everyone made what I thought was going to be a very scary experience exciting and enjoyable. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in giving it a try. It is well worth it.
Amazing and so much fun!

5.00This was super fun! Hailie and Hannah were so much fun today, zip lining in cloudy and slight rain was perfect. We were provided rain gear and safety speeches were clear. They helped us feel comfortable and safe and they didn’t drop me so it was good. Went with the fam while they were in town and they loved it!
Amazing experience!
