Relaxing peaceful ride down the river. Beautiful scenery, knowledgeable guide. Very accommodating company.
We had several excursions booked with 1st Alaska Tours and all were excellent! The staff coordinated everything, followed up to re-confirm, and were flexible and great to work with! Our River Rafting guide, Ash, was so knowledgeable and hands-on, and the raft trip was on a more remote, northern section of the Chena Riverso so was not at all "touristy". So amazing! Highly recommend any tours by 1st Alaska!
It was a beautiful day, my husband and the other couple did some fishing along the way., grayling catch and release.
We rafted in a rural area and had another raft of fishermen who were with our group. Ash, our guide, was very knowledgeable and had many interesting stories about living in a rural area with native Alaskans. He showed us how to build a fire when we stopped along the river for a short hike. We also saw some wildlife and their habitat.
Ash was the most informative guide we have ever been with. He shared so many experiences of his with us. Stopped to take pictures whenever we asked as well as sending us ones he took. First rate experience
we had a wonderful time with ash on the river rafting tour where we learned about the history of alaska, river rafted through a beautiful scenic morning, built a fire along the shore, and heard about ash’s incredible life experiences. it was one of the biggest highlights of our trip and would absolutely recommend for anyone!
We had so much fun, both on and off the river. When I originally booked it was to simply see some of the wilderness of Alaska. Instead, we had what I can only describe as the most interesting survival and nature "Ted" talks with Ash and Emma! They were able to even captivate 3 kids ranging in age.(5, 8, and 9) it was so much more that we expected and far better than anything we could have hoped for. Def would recommend for anyone!
This tour was amazing!!! Definitely a must-do/must-see excursion. Our tour guide, Benny, was so knowledgeable and made the trip so exciting and fun! He went out of the way to take pictures of our tour, show us how to differentiate animal tracks, and scout for wildlife. We saw moose, ducks, fish, and more! The team went out of their way to make sure everyone was comfortable and got to enjoy the Alaskan nature. Truly a great experience 10/10!
Trent and John did a great job. We saw lots of wildlife and had a great time. Trent had a lot of local knowledge and was very friendly.
Had a great time., the river raft was such a relaxing experience. Our guide was very accommodating and knowledgeable about all the plants, animals and routes. They were also very punctual and flexible. We will definitely be doing this again soon!
