River Rafting Alaska
Vacation Ideas

Tour operator Alaska Discovery has a trip that will take you paddling down the Kongakut River through the wild and remote wilderness of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.  

The scenery is incredible and refuge is blessed with an amazing amount of wildlife such as wolves, bears, Porcupine caribou, Dall sheep and a wide variety of birds.

This Alaska Discovery journey is a combination of rafting and hiking with plenty of opportunity for fishing, exploring and taking photos. Alaska Discovery is the oldest wilderness guided tour company in Alaska.

There are hiking side excursions to explore side canyons, peaks, and glaciers inhabited by fox, caribou and many other animals. Equinox Wilderness Expeditions specializes in providing small groups with knowledgeable guides and an exciting adventure vacation in the remote reaches of Alaska and Canada.

Wilderness Alaska offers sea kayaking trips that combine paddling, beach combing, eating and hiking. They also offer Alaska hiking tours in the largest wilderness mountain range in the U.S. These hiking trips above the Arctic Circle are physically demanding. You will be traveling off-trail for 4 or 6 miles a day. This is an excellent adventure vacation idea that is sure to be gratifying and memorable.

This is a pristine wilderness area which is part of a glacial system that is among the worlds largest. Rafting is less challenging than the typical Alaskan adventure. So this is an excellent way for less experienced wilderness lovers to see the incredible Alaska outdoors scenery and wildlife.

Brown bears, bald eagles, wolverines and wolves all make their home here. River Journeys is another company that offers river rafting along the Tatshenshini-Alsek River. They also include natural history hikes and photographic excursions to glaciers and alpine meadows along the way.
