Here’s more about the company…
THE FIRST ZIP LINE TOUR ON THE SAN JUAN ISLANDS IS NOW OPEN
Zip!
The first and only zip line tour in the San Juan Islands is now taking reservations. Our family friendly zip line tour features 8 zip lines and is an excellent way to experience the natural landscape of San Juan Island.
Tours are available 7 days a week and reservations are required. Each tour group is picked up in downtown Friday Harbor and transported to the site. Upon reaching the site, you are given an orientation and will have the opportunity to practice zipping on our smaller practice zip lines. After this, our guides will lead you on a brief hike to the first of the zip lines. Throughout your tour you will soar from platform to platform past tall Douglas Firs, Western Red Cedars, traverse across a suspension bridge, zip over a lake and wetland area and experience the forest from a viewpoint usually exclusive to birds.
Tours last approximately 3 hours which includes travel time to and from the course. The site is about 10 minutes from Friday Harbor. Rates for youth (age 8-14) $65 and adults are $75. Seasonal discounts are available for local residents.
The Zip San Juan course was designed and constructed by Synergo, out of Portland, OR. Synergo was selected for their unique creativity, attention to detail, and adherence to the national standards developed by the Association for Challenge Course Technology. Synergo takes great pride in creating tours that provide exciting experiences for all, while keeping a watchful eye on our environmental impact.
