We offer trips for all levels and interests, from a one-day raft and flightsee trip to a the 15-day "Source to Sea" epic wilderness adventure. All of our Alaska river rafting trips are led by experienced guides with a wealth of local knowledge, many of whom call Alaska home. We specialize in small, personal trips with your comfort, safety and absolutely enjoyment in mind.
We invite you to be our guest on the adventure of a lifetime!
The Copper River is our "signature trip" and rightly so. This stunning river corridor is one of the world's most spectacular journey's, from the interior of the state to the coast near Cordova. Waterfalls, hanging glaciers, and huge ice faces that calve into the river are interspersed with peaceful riverside camps and great wildlife sitings.
Our ever-popular day trip combines 17 miles of Class II-III Whitewater with a remoteness that can only be found in the heart of Alaska's largest national park. After rafting down splashy and braided sections as well as the narrow and twisting Nizina Canyon, you will get picked up by bush plane and returned to McCarthy by way of a mind-blowing scenic flightsee.
Our shortest and most affordable multi-day trip is a great option for new campers and rafters and veteran adventurers alike. Class II-III whitewater, open riverside camps, wildlife viewing possiblities, great food and beautiful remote wilderness are all features of this fabulous trip.
The Nizina River is a little-known but much loved gem of Wrangell-St. Elias National Park, traveled by only a dozen or so people each season. Great hiking abounds along this river corridor, so we have combined 3 days of rafting with 2 days of exploration on foot for the ultimate wilderness adventure!
This is the grand-daddy of all Alaska rafting trips. If you have the time to truly take in the grandeur of our country's largest national park, this is the way to do it. 15 days takes you from the headwaters of the Nizina River all the way to the mouth of the mighty Copper where it joins the ocean near Cordova. Truly the adventure of a lifetime.
This all inclusive package starts and ends in Anchorage and offers a 4-day hiking trip in a remote valley of Wrangell-St. Elias in combination with 4 days of sea kayaking near the Columbia Glacier. Before, after and in between is seamless transport, comfortable lodging, and a free day to hike or ice climb or explore the tiny towns of McCarthy and Kennecott.
We offer hiking, backpacking and mountaineering expeditions through our partner company, St. Elias Alpine Guides.
