Alaskan Cruise
With
Disney moving into the
Alaska cruise market, we thought we should take an Alaskan cruise and experience some of the amazing adventures that can be had, including ziplining, mountain trains, bike tours in
Victoria, the
Tracy Arm Fjord and more! We'll be sharing many of these videos with you over the next few weeks, starting with this one from the ziplining adventure at Alaska
Canopy Adventures. For this cruise we sailed on the
Celebrity Infinity out of
Seattle, Washington and it was an amazing ship!!
We ziplined across 8 ziplines and walked over 3 aerial suspension bridges with a maximum height of 135' above the forest floor after a really cool ride in a Unimog to the first zipline!
Enter the
Eagle Creek fly-zone—the ultimate nature experience!
Imagine the thrill of gliding through the top of a rich rainforest canopy along a series of eight dual cable zip lines and navigating three aerial bridges suspended between tall spruce, hemlock and cedar trees, bordering the magnificent
Tongass National Forest. This major rainforest reserve embraces one of Alaska's richest salmon spawning streams and a pristine inter-tidal estuary. Abundant wildlife habitat includes a high concentration of bald eagles, black bear, and a variety of other species.
At
Herring Cove your all-terrain custom 4x4 Unimog will transport you up a steep rainforest hillside to the canopy chalet. Here your professionally trained guides outfit you with state of the art safety equipment and provide a detailed orientation prior to zipping from the first platform.
Size really does matter! Your rainforest canopy challenge features a flight over eight ziplines and three suspension bridges; 6,
000 feet of high tension cables and ground-based nature trails. Your guides will progressively ease you into the forest canopy along cables ranging from a short
100 feet to the 850 foot pulse pounding "Ben's
Revenge". Guests often see eagles and bears from the tree platforms.
Discover Eagle Creek Falls, and cross three hanging sky bridges; all offering breathtaking views of the virgin forest below. You will be up to 135 feet above the forest floor. Throughout this award-winning adventure you will be surrounded by the sights and sounds of the rainforest wildlife reserve. Although wildlife sightings are frequent, they cannot be guaranteed.
The Eagle Creek course is for those who have already experienced ziplining or are seeking new challenges.
The final zipline emerges from the rainforest and transports you over lush grassy wetlands to a viewing tower, 55 feet above ground. Descend stairs and gear-down at the base camp, where you will be presented with a custom cast Alaska Canopy Adventures medal in recognition of your achievement. Upon completion of this once in a lifetime experience, enjoy a complimentary snack and hot beverage, view your photograph and shop in the
General Store. A narration is provided on the scenic 16 mile round-trip coastal drive to the reserve.
