“Great experience, super cool and very knowledgeable guides, safety was top priority, fun was a close second, WORTH EVERY PENNY…I would HIGHLY recommend this outfit…. one point was my girlfriend was a little nervous about doing the 3rd canyon, they totally explained what to expect and in NO WAY did they pressure her to go to the 3rd canyon…. she got out after the second canyon, no issues or difficulties given, our guide was a super cool dude “Newbie”, definitely made the trip fun, oooh I did use NOVA for a walk on the Glacier a few days later which was another experience not to be missed A + outfit..“

Reviews from Real Adventurers

The rafting trip with a dry suit was awesome! JJ and Vance were awesome guides. Their humor and skills made it one heck of a ride. I got plenty soaked sitting in front and thoroughly enjoyed it! I would highly recommend this to anyone.

Steve W. 2024

Incredible experience! Luc our guide was fantastic. He made the trip very fun and comfortable, he gave our group all the safety training necessary to successfully navigate through the class V rapid canyon. Excited to go again!

Caroline T. 2024

Such an awesome experience on the 6 mile creek. Canyon 3 was absolutely an adrenaline rush. By far the best rafting experience ever.

Ben M. 2024

Had an awesome time floating the 3 canyons on Six Mile Creek. The guides were great and funny. I have to admit I was a little afraid to do the last canyon after going through the first two but I’m so glad I went ahead and did it.

Leonard H. 2024

Great trip! We did the three canyons and it was amazing! Our guide Reid was great and knowledgeable about rafting and made it a really fun trip. Definitely worth the drive from Anchorage!

Zoe Z. 2024

Awesome experience! Super fun and intense. The guides were experienced, fun and professional. I’d do it again, worth the money. Don’t sign up for just the 2 canyons, do all three, or you will truly miss out.
