Camano Island Zipline & Deception Pass Tour — Forest Ziplines, Historic Bridges, and Coastal Vistas
Float between old-growth firs and sea-swept cliffs on a guided zipline tour that pairs aerial runs with Deception Pass viewpoints. Small-group transport and a Unimog forest ride add local color to a day of moderate adventure.
The Experience
Before You Go
Arrive layered
Weather shifts quickly near the strait—bring a lightweight shell and a warm mid-layer to stay comfortable between lines.
Secure small items
Bring a small zippered pocket or wrist strap for phones and cameras—loose items are not permitted on lines.
Hydrate and snack
Carry a 1L water bottle and an energy snack; the tour includes stops but active rigs and travel make hydration important.
Mind tide and wind
Morning slots are often calmer; check wind/tide forecasts if sea views and calmer lines matter to you.
