What you can expect

  • Join an experienced guide and take to the rivers around Fairbanks for a memorable rafting adventure. Explore Alaska’s untamed wilderness from a new perspective as you paddle and float past thick evergreen forests, open meadows, and mountain-studded horizons.

    After pickup from your hotel, meet your guide at the launch point and help gather the gear. Get fitted with a life jacket, listen to a brief orientation on paddling techniques, and then climb aboard your raft before pushing away from the bank. Drift along calm currents and navigate gentle rapids as you explore the wilderness beyond Fairbanks.

    Keep an eye out for iconic Alaskan wildlife, including moose, bears, wolves, bald eagles, and beavers. Your guide will share information about the area’s wildlife and ecology along the way. Enjoy snacks to refuel and plenty of opportunities to take photos before reaching the end of your journey and heading back to Fairbanks.
