Offering unique rafting trips on Alaska's remote wild and scenic rivers. See wildlife, majestic mountains, glaciers, and experience exhilerating rapids. You can do lots of hiking while exploring mountain valleys, along with great fishing and camping in the remote wilds of Alaska. Family groups are welcome.

Be sure to have your camera ready, you never can tell what might be around the next bend. Come join Alaska Adventure Rafting and see the real Alaska, leaving the tourists behind!

Rafting Dates: June 15 to August 1.

Camps

All camping will be done in 3-man, mountain tents with no more than 2 people per tent. One larger mountain tent will be used as a cook tent.

Food

There will be plenty of food available, however, because of space and no way to freeze meat, some of our food will be freeze dried. With today's technology the freeze dried food is actually very good. Basically, our meals will be as stated below:
 

 
 
 Breakfast - Eggs, bacon, ham, jam, honey, bread, coffee, tea, cocoa and Tang.

Lunch - Sausage, ham, cheese, bread, candy bars, cookies, chips, fruit and Tang or lemonade.

Dinner - Hot and hearty, delicious meals such as steak, potatoes, salad and desserts.

What To Bring

I will furnish all camps, food, rafts, fishing poles, life jackets and transportation while floating on the river. I will not provide food in restaurants as we travel by vehicle to our put-in points. Some snack foods will be available in the van (chips, soda, cookies, etc.).

Each client will provide their own sleeping bag and all items of personal nature. The following list will prove helpful as a guide in selecting your outfit:

Transportation

Trips will originate in Anchorage or Fairbanks. From this point you will be picked up by van and taken to a motel, or we may head off to our departure point to reach the river we have chosen to float.
 

Each float trip is different, so distance traveled by vehicle and by small charter plane will vary. All trips require the use of a vehicle and a small air charter. All transportation is included in the price of the trip. Most trips will include some sightseeing by vehicle before we reach our departure point to float our river.

Float trips in the Brooks Range can either originate in Anchorage or Fairbanks. You may wish to skip the 350 mile sight-seeing trip by van from Anchorage to Fairbanks and just fly direct to Fairbanks by commercial jet.

All transportation on our float trips are conducted in large, 16' whitewater rafts. (NOTE: Three clients and a guide are maximum in one raft at any one time.)

The main base price for one person includes all transportation. A second person can utilize all transportation provided in the main base price, however, in most cases if a third person is added, the main base price will have to be increased to cover additional transportation costs (specifically air charters).

Deposits

A deposit of 50% is due at the time of booking your rafting trip. The remaining balance is due at least 30 days before the trip begins. The deposit is non-refundable, unless a replacement can be found to take your place. For pricing, please review the Rafting Cost Schedule.

Guarantee

My guarantee to each individual client is to do everything possible to make your trip comfortable and enjoyable. All trips are conducted under personal contract between guide and client.
