We're visiting Icy Strait Point for the first time this summer. Wondering what companies are being recommended for whale and bear excursions.

One of the high points of our cruise to Alaska in 2008 was the zip line at Icy Strait Point. It's the largest zip line in the world. It's over a mile long, and you hit 50+ MPH.
My wife is deathly afraid of heights. After she rode the zip line, she wanted to get back in line and pay another $97 to ride it again!
