Highly recommend. My husband had to twist my arm to get me to zipline because have a pretty significant issue with vertigo. However, their excellent instructors give clear, simple instructions that are reinforced throughout your 2 and a half hour journey through the canopy. Safety is clearly their priority- they were were confident, professional and kind. It was cloudy the day we went so we could only see the foothills of Denali, but it was still gorgeous. There we tons of songbirds seranading us in the trees. The last two zips near the lake were my favorite. Simply beautiful. Also really enjoyed the rappel. We are already planning our next ziplining adventure with their sister company in Seward which apparently includes 3 rappels. read more

Five star customer service to all the staff here, from the office person to zip line staff. They are very kind, polite, and compassionate about their work. Very well thought through and safety first. They know what they are doing. This particular zip line is you always stay with your group. Two staff and 8 customers. We go one by one, one zip line at a time. I was fortunate that group was very friendly and we got to know them while waiting for others to zip. They have nine zips and well, they are okay. Done here once and I don't think I would repeat again type level. Yes it was beautiful and all but excitement level was just an average for me. It's still fun way to spend a few hours outdoors safely. You may want to use a mosquito repellent prior to your arrival. While mosquitoes may not come up high, we eventually have to come down, and they are a lot of them here. read more

Denali Zipline Tours - Ziplining Near Me - Talkeetna, Alaska

We arrived to Talkeetna to pouring rain, I called to inquire about our zip line tour we had booked bc the weather conditions did not seem safe for zip lining that day. the woman on the phone was rude and dismissive when I asked about this. I disagreed that taking two children to zip line in the pouring rain did not seem like a safe option. She refused to refund any portion of my booking. I understand that you need a cancellation policy but when the weather does not accommodate a safe experience I would think as a business that relies on recommendations and did not provide any level of good/service they could refund some portion of the fee I paid. I have several other friends taking this same trip and I will not recommend this company to them or anyone on my travel blog. read more

The tour only lasted one hour. ONE HOUR! There were very few stopping points and I was unpleasantly surprised with how quickly it ended. The tour guide made a comment about how she was a college student and asked my boyfriend and I to convince the other older couple that was with us to tip them since the woman was wearing expensive earrings and was on the Princess Cruise Line so "she must have money". I am a college student too, so I get needing money, but the only workers there were very young college students that acted entitled the entire time. This tour was ridiculously overpriced and I wish I had not wasted over $700(!!!) on this rip off. Cannot express how disappointing this experience was but if I can at least let someone know of the reality of this overpriced tourist trap, then I am happy. read more

Colton & Colby were professional and fun. Good time with a variety of lines, both fast and normal. Little repel in the middle and a couple of rope bridges and something the straight zip lining. read more

I had Mary and Drew as my guide and it was my second time ziplining with DZT. They were amazing guides; so warm and friendly! We had a situation where other people decided to not continue the tour- Mary and Drew were very accommodating, calm, and collected during whole duration of situation. Let me tell you; DZT do not disappoint! I think that it's easier to NOT compare them to any zip lines you went on because every company has their own way to run things. I mean...9 lines and well trained guides who want you to have a safe but fun experience! Yes, you are responsible for the brake. But it is a piece of cake once you learn the instruction during "orientation" line. DZT takes the precaution to ensure that everyone understands the orientation and receive appropriate hands-on training before doing lines. I want to emphasize that you do not "grab" the line with DZT. You will use your dominant hand and with the leather "palm glove" they provide- you will press on the line gently while other hand holding onto the zip. You will follow the guide's hand signal to either brake harder or stop braking right before you land on the platform. As for pictures; I want to clarify that it is optional. You don't have to pay for it until you see how they look after you complete your tour. You will have the opportunity to view the pictures on the screen at your check-in location. No surprises. You may also bring your phone/camera at your own risk. Lastly, their helmets have fixed connector to your go pro camera! If you have one, bring it! read more

Denali Zipline Tours - Taken right before we finished our orientation - Ziplining Near Me - Talkeetna, Alaska

What a fun adventure! For the first time zipline adventurer, this is a good place to go! As they say there, I do have height allergies and the only thing that I freaked on was the spiral staircase. The platforms are large and a little wobbly, however I felt safe. Our adventure guides, Aeri and Curtis were a great team! It was recommended not to bring anything with you, so I left the cameras at base camp. Others dared to bring camera phones and I would recommend bringing something to take your own photos or video with. There photo package was reasonable and you get everyone's photos from the group, so pitch in all together to get one package for the whole group! Remember tip money!!! read more

Denali Zipline Tours - Ziplining Near Me - Talkeetna, Alaska

This was a fun tour! It's mostly a lot of being in a forest and not necessarily seeing a whole lot. But there are some great views of Mt McKinley if it's a clear day (and thankfully, it was). You meet up at the tour office and are transported to the zipline area. You are then greeted by your guides who get you all geared-up. Then there's a training segment where everyone gets trained on what to do and not to do, technique, etc. There's even a little training zipline where everyone tries it out and practices. And then you're off to the real ziplining. It's a pretty cool and unique experience. Lots of lines of varying heights and lengths. The groups are kept pretty small. Great views on a clear day. The guides are great. Definitely pay to get the photos. Overall, while not the greatest Alaskan adventure or tour I've done, it's still awesome and I would do it again. If you're in Talkeetna, I recommend some ziplining. read more

Sara, Colton, and Morgan were amazing on our tour, very knowledgeable and were also very funny! Colton on his first tour was amazing and very qualified! Highly recommend! read more

sam and Kyle were great tour guide we loved our time on the zip lines it was extremely fun and sam and Kyle made it even better

Absolutely amazing experience. My boyfriend and I booked this tour on a whim when we first arrived at Denali. They had a storefront right across from the Princess Wilderness Lodge, where we were staying, and we thought why not zipline in a land of untouched nature if we were to zipline at all. Our guides - TK and Jamy - were fantastic. I was definitely pretty scared when I first saw all the swinging bridges we had to climb and the highest zipline that we had to go through; there were 7 in total. However, TK and Jamy just had such a great energy that put all my worries at ease. We took ATV's to go from downtown Denali to the zipline sites, really bumpy but very cool experience in itself. The actual ziplining was just stunning - you really have to experience it for yourself. Nothing like leaning backwards a little bit in the longest zipline (600 feet) and trying to touch the nearby trees with your hands and feet. It's the closest you can ever be to feeling like a bird, to put it in an analogy that's most easily relatable :P We absolutely loved it, and would recommend anyone to do this if you're ever in the beautiful Denali. read more

Hope and Andy were the best guides. Fun zipping through the trees with these guys. Would recommend. The views are breathtaking, especially the post where you can see Denali in the background. Safety was too notch and everyone was friendly and professional... read more

Our first trip to Alaska to visit our daughter and son-in-law and I found the name of this company on a Alaska travel website on what to do in Talkeetna. My husband and I never have done this activity, although we have thought about it on another trip last year. My daughter and I were planning some things to do so we added this trip to our itinerary. All I can say is WOW!! The scenery alone is great in this little town. Mt McKinley is visual here and there is a huge rushing river. Small town quaint with food and shops. When we were here, the weather was very warm: mid 80's and we were very lucky in that the sun was out and it was clear over Mt McKinley so we got to see that off in the distance. Before the tour, at the main office, the staff will offer photographs of the tour. I HIGHLY recommend this option because there is no way a person can take any decent pictures. You will be too busy hanging on and concentrating on the event itself. The tour itself consisted of a van ride to the zipping area where we all donned equipment. It was fully adjusted by the guides to make sure everything fit well. We then went over to a small "testing area" where we were shown how to brake, how to turn in the event that we braked too much before we got to the next tower, and what signals to watch for from the guides. Each tour is no more than 8 people. There are two guides per tour. One guide goes before the other to the next tower to wait and assist the landing. There is a lot of clipping and un-clipping of safety gear that goes on so the three hour tour can be a lot of waiting but everyone has a blast! There are 9 total zips, each one getting progressively longer in length. There are three suspension bridges and one small rappel. This company has just begun it's second season of business and I can tell you that the staff and guides are AMAZING! We had Cristy and Virginia and they both had great attitude, personality and patience. They really loved their work. read more

We found the company on the Travel Alaska website and enjoyed the scenic ride up from Anchorage. Everyone we came in contact with -- the check in staff, the drivers, our guides -- was super friendly, very chatty, and eager to make sure that we were having a good time. The scenery along the course is absolutely beautiful! Pay the extra few bucks to get your photos taken, it's worth it. Of course, (as with everything in Alaska) the trips are a little pricey but the beautiful scenery and the experience are worth it. The guides are very knowledgeable about safety, and as the other reviewer stated, there is a lot of waiting around for other people to take their turns on the zip. It really does break up the flow of things, and I found myself excited to move on to the next zip and see the next thing but having to wait (impatiently) for everyone to finish. They take out no more than 8 people at a time but no less than 4 -- if you could get into a smaller group, do it. At the very least, it helps when at least part of the group is people that you know so you have someone to chit chat with up in the trees. I went with only one other friend and we found ourselves separated most of the time, depending on where we ended up being in the queue, which changed from zip to zip. Also, bug spray. I was told at that high up there aren't really any mosquitos, but a few still managed to find me anyway... read more

Best part of my trip to Alaska hands down! This was my first time zip lining and I can't wait to do it again. My husband and I were in a group of 5 for the 3-hour long tour and we had Saundra and Curtis as our guides. They did an awesome job explaining everything and you could tell they love their job! They were knowledgeable and also had fun and cracked jokes along the way which was a great icebreaker and helped ease any nerves. It was only a short 10 minute drive from the main road in Talkeetna to the zip lining area. The drive on the bus is bumpy, but we were given a heads up beforehand and you're in the middle of a pretty remote forest, so what do you expect? The sights are absolutely gorgeous in July and it's so green and lush. We did 9 zips through the forest, with the last and longest one being over the lake, 3 suspension bridges and 1 rappel. I was a little concerned with the cost, but in the end I'm so glad we got to do this experience and it's totally worth it! read more

A "must-do" attraction located in the town of Talkeetna. I've zip lined around North America including Hawaii, Puerto Vallarta, Costa Rica & now Denali. I was very satisfied with the professionalism of the guides, and the great Zips. This tour is a lot of bang for your buck. There are several zip runs, suspension bridges and one rappel. We laughed, had a great time & enjoyed the funny, and extremely knowledgable guides. They also provided pictures of the trip which was great since we didn't have to fumble with our cameras. I would recommend wearing a good bug repellent since that seemed to be the only negative, near the water, in the woods, the bugs were a bit of a deterrent but not really an issue once we started on the Zip. Cool times had by all! Visited June 2014 read more

This is an awesome operation and the "tour" is very well laid out. I had hoped to see more wildlife and/or sights, but you are in the canopy of a forest. It is hard to see out. It was like a crescendo of a music piece. Every run got better and better, longer and longer. The beauty of the forest is wonderful. It is a very fun experience with a large group. The guides were incredible. Very helpful, full of knowledge and jokes. Really a fun crew that had the expertise that is very important to this sport. The suspension bridges were a lot of fun also. Try to not use your hands as you cross them, it really adds to the challenge! Take your GoPro or some other video camera, you will really preserve the memories. I was really a fun time and I'd highly recommend it for all ages! [catching up on our early August 2014 vacation to Alaska] read more

We had a blast on this course. The booking agent, Rachael, was very pleasant. The driver told great stories on the way to the course. The ATV ride to the course was an added bonus. It was bumpy but very fun. The course itself was easy enough to manage. Our guides Jennie and Tristi were nice, knowledgeable, funny and professional. I felt very secure with them. Everyone we encountered with this company was top notch. read more

After ziplining in Hawaii, this was a totally different experience. In Hawaii they teach you NOT to grab the line EVER, but here you have to grab the line to stop. I just couldn't get it, so I had many collisions with the guide. It ended up not being for me. I was nervous each zip because I was anticipating the stop at the end. I just couldn't enjoy it. My son had a similar experience as me, he was sticking to the "Hawaii" rules. He did have fun, but again, a different experience. read more

such and exhilarating experience. Great family activity and scenery was beautiful. Kyle and Kenny were the best!

Mary and Michael were so great and our fellow zip liners were a hoot!!! They do have you in groups of 4 to 8, so the bigger your group, the more fun it is, in my opinion. There were three of us and we were so lucky to have five super fun people to round out the group of eight. Views were awesome even on a cloudy day, and our guides kept the fun going the whole time all while making us feel very safe!!!! Mary made me feel so safe while repelling, It was the highlight of my trip! read more

Denali Zipline Tours - The last one! - Ziplining Near Me - Talkeetna, Alaska

My son and I enjoyed a zip line tour in Talkeetna. Neither of us had ever really zip lined before, but we quickly felt comfortable after a quick zip line 101. The course includes 9 zip lines and 3 rope suspension bridges. Some of the lines were really fast and long. The last zip across is across a pond. Our guides (Randy and Sean) were really knowledgable and fun. They were very methodical about the safety and sending each of us when we were ready. They took pictures too that were offered at the end for a reasonable price. read more

Amazing experience. Zip line guides Emma and Willow were amazing with both instructions and patience with newbies. No need to fear heights or speed. With proper instruction it is a piece of cake. Nine zip lines, 3 catwalks and one repel. One was over a pond and the view of Denali was amazing. We lucked out with great weather and full view. They also took great photos that were well worth the 8.00 per person investment. Highly recommend if in the area. read more

The entire staff were all friendly, polite, & couteous. It ended up raining the day my gf & I went. We actually got a great deal on rain gear from the front office. We have ziplined in a few other places. This tour was decent and the beauty of doing this in America, is you know they take their safety seriously because they dont want to be going to court. lol. The front office is TINY. Barely enough room to hold 5 people. We didnt wait around for pictures to be shown because there wasnt enough room inside and it was pouring rain outside. I would think they would have an awning as often as it rains there. It was pretty expensive as far as zipline tours go, and the wait wasnt too bad, but we didnt have any scaredy cats with us. Its a good time and I would recommend it to my friends. read more

This was awesome!! The zips had great views and were exhilarating. We were a group of 5 and had varied experience with zip lining. We had 3 rookies, 1 novice and 1 person who had zipped a few times. It worked for all of us. As someone who had zipped once before, this place was SO MUCH BETTER than what I had done before. It was first class. read more
