About us
Our mission is to inspire others through adventurous and informative experiences in the wilderness and beauty of Alaska.
Alaska X is a locally owned and operated company with a focus on providing affordable and immersive tour experiences in the remote Alaskan wilderness. We strive to provide our guests with an unforgettable adventure that is respectful of our surroundings. We believe that it is important as a tour company to provide experiences that honor and will positively impact the natural and cultural environments. Our company prioritizes reducing our waste and consumption, sustainably using our resources, maintaining biodiversity and ecological processes, and supporting our local economy and community. To better represent what we believe, we are proud to disclose our momentous transition from a diesel generator to a hydroelectric power system that we are installing to produce clean energy for our zip-line and dog camp tours. We hope that our eco-conscious tours will leave you with not only extraordinary memories but a greater appreciation and understanding of Alaskan nature and heritage.

What we'll do
Come take an adrenaline-filled tour of Alaska! After the scenic bus ride up to Dyea, you will board our giant 4x4 military vehicle for an exciting ride up the mountain to our zipline camp. You will then meet your skilled guide who will suit you up in safety gear and prepare you to fly through the forest. Get ready to soar like an eagle through our epic course of 10 ziplines and 4 suspension bridges with breathtaking scenery abounding! Hop back on the bus for a calm ride back to town.
It all begins at your cruise dock where you meet your guide. From there, enjoy an entertaining and historic tour through downtown Skagway then drive along nine miles of stunning coastline. When you arrive at our base in Dyea, you will transfer into our customized Unimog—an all-wheel drive vehicle necessary for getting up our rugged mountain road. At the top of the mountain, you will divide into groups of 8 and suit up in gear that meets the highest standards of safety while your highly trained guide tells you what to expect and how to safely navigate the course. You will then be led to the take-off zone, where you’ll clip in and fly away! You’ll soar through our exhilarating course of 8-10 zip lines; the longest measuring 750ft—that’s longer than 2 football fields combined! Additionally, don’t miss out on snapping pictures on our four state-of-the-art suspension bridges in the heart of Alaska's wild beauty. After completing the course, relax on the scenic drive back to town to wrap up a day of adventuring in the wilderness.

Smoking is not permitted on any of our excursions or vehicles, although there are some areas away from the tour grounds where you may smoke.
