Hoonah Bike Trek & ZipRider

Meet your local guide at the Welcome Center and then head to the bike staging area. After you're fitted for your bicycle and helmet and receive a safety briefing, you'll begin your eight-mile cycling tour. Learn what day to day life is like for the residents of this small coastal village during this intimate bike ride through Alaska's largest Tlingit settlement. Your guide will lead you along the scenic coastline of this fishing community, which is home to less than 800 residents. Along the way you'll see a working harbor, hear stories and learn about the meaning behind totem poles, and find out how to "drive" the Alaskan Marine Highway. Upon your return to Icy Strait Point, you'll board a bus for the scenic drive to the ZipRider launch tower. You'll then fly back to Icy Strait Point via the world's largest zip line, starting from 1300' and ending at 0' with a brake-activated landing on the beach in approximately 90 seconds. You can then walk into the Zip Shop to view and purchase a photograph of your just completed ZipRider before heading next door to the Landing Zone Bar and Restaurant to be welcomed back to earth by your fellow cruisers. Note: Guests must wear closed-toed shoes. Participants must be at least 10 years of age, have a minimum height of 4’6” with a minimum weight of 90 lbs and maximum of 275 lbs.
