Half Trip fishing

Tour guide seemed knowledgeable but wasn’t very talkative to us. Spent entire time visiting with second tour guide. Caught 7 fish total between 7 people fishing for 3-4 hours. Didn’t seem like catching fish and making memorable memories were top priority for guides and this was our first time fly fishing. I would not spend this kind of money for the half day we had.

River Rafting Tour

Trenton was a great host and tour guide! He is very knowledgeable about the river and the wildlife not to mention a great storyteller! He has many experiences that make the time just pass by while taking in the breathtaking scenery along the river. I would definitely recommend this excursion while in Fairbanks Alaska!

Such a great experience

Trenton was an awesome guide, he knew the best fishing spots and was very knowledgeable about the area. It was my first time fishing and he taught me how to catch a fish! It was really fun and exciting. Our entire group was able to catch at least one fish. He also brought some homemade snacks which I thought was super nice. Would definitely recommend this experience if you’re coming to Fairbanks!!

Would definitely recommend

Trenton was the best tour guide! He knew the best spots to find fish and he was so helpful and informative. Not only did I learn how to fish (and catch my first fish ever) but we learned so much about Fairbanks and the wildlife. I would definitely recommend!! He also brought homemade snacks which was so kind of him to do. Would do another tour with this company :) thank you for making our trip to Alaska so much fun!

GA - Group Excursion

Our group of 10 from Georgia, really enjoyed this excursion. We had two boats. Our guides were great. Friendly, knowledgable, Fun!! Weather held out perfectly as rain drops started falling almost as soon as we landed the boats.

Fun fishing but DEFINITELY bring bug spray and gloves to keep your hands warm

Our guide was excellent; so glad he brought an extra thermal layer (fleece) in the boat for me to borrow when it got even colder than expected on our rainy day! Mosquitoes were awful, but other than that it was a super-fun fishing experience where ai caught 3x and my husband caught 2!

Great Experience

The beauty of the outdoors and learning from the guide about nature in Alaska overall, while sharing this time with a great friend, made this a memory of a lifetime.
