Rae R.

Five star experience with Five star guides. The 12 day Source to Sea: Nizina & Copper River Expedition was incredible on many levels. The wilderness experience, breathtaking scenery, ice everywhere, historic significance, cool rock formations, amazing cuisine, and perfect weather all made for an exceptional trip. I wholeheartedly recommend this expedition and this company.

Julie M.

My son and I had a great time on the 2 night/3 day Rivers to Riches trip. We traveled 65 miles on 4 rivers in 3 days! Our guides were awesome! We had never done an overnight rafting trip before and truly enjoyed our river trip into the wilderness of Wrangell-St. Elias National Park.


Joan D.

My friend and I had the great good fortune to have Veronica on our 4 hr raft trip and then the Root glacier hike the next day. Safety was foremost but having fun was a very close second! A kayaker safety person is there in case of emergency and she was helpful getting in/out of the raft. For the glacier hike, Veronica was an awesome photographer AND was very encouraging and patient! Top notch team all around and they provide individualized service.
