Detailed Itinerary

The journey, in full

At Herring Cove, an all-terrain custom 4×4 Unimog will transport you up a steep rainforest hillside to the canopy chalet. Professionally trained guides will outfit you with the state-of-the-art safety equipment and provide a detailed orientation before you mount the first platform. Your rain forest canopy challenge features a ‘flight’ over nine zip-lines. Your guide will progressively ease you into the forest canopy along cables ranging from a short 100 feet up to 600 feet, with a platform as high as 100 feet above the ground. Eagles and bears are often seen from the platforms. Our longest zip that breaks out into the canopy, offering breathtaking views of the forest and salmon spawning creek below. Throughout this adventure, you will be surrounded by the sights and sounds of the rainforest wildlife preserve. The final zip-line emerges from the rainforest and transports you over lush grassy wetlands to a viewing tower overlooking the Whitman Lake Fish Hatchery, 55 feet above the ground, where you will rappel to the ground. Afterwards, check out the largest Tsimshian Totem Pole park in the US, with over 17 poles carved on site. See the Blacksmith's craft and grab an adult beverage or a coffee from our coffee shop.
