Halve dag twee Canyon Six Mile Creek wildwaterraften

We had an amazing time! Would highly recommend! Advice: wear at least 2 pair of very warm socks! Overall best excursion we went on during our stay in Alaska! Our guide James was the best! Very patient with us and made our experience a great one!!

So I have really mixed feelings on this trip. My experience was awesome but I definitely felt nickel and dime d and a few things left a sour taste in my mouth. 1. The dry suits do NOT keep you dry. It’s cold water and that’s ok but be prepared and bring extra clothes. I would have liked that warning instead of driving for 2 hours in wet clothes. A guide also interrupted me telling my friend I was wet to tellme I’m dryer than I think. Nope- took off my suit and was soaking wet. I did not like feeling like I was being gas lighted. The suits also stink so definitely bring extra clothes! 2. You go through canyons one and two and then decide if you want to go down the third. The third canyon is awesome! However, we were told you’ll settle the difference at the end and it should be $50-$60. Nope it’s way more— it would have been ok if they were just honest with the price. 3. Pictures- they take pictures and then charge $85 to get a jump drive with all the photos and I think $25 to have one picture emailed. With it being 2022- it’s so easy to share pictures it felt very cheap. 4. I got to paddle and be active in the experience which I enjoyed. However, up to 3 people per boat don’t get to paddle and are just a long for the ride. Positions never switch so they never got a chance. That doesn’t appeal to me at all. That being said- I did have a blast! The experience is cool. I would do it again but maybe with a different company.

My husband and 2 boys took this trip this summer in august and had a great time. Having only rafted a mild river in jasper previously, we were not expecting the intense prep prior to departure. The dry suits were a new experience for us and the second hand barely there sneakers and helmets were quite the accessories. We were transported to the launch site in a shuttle and then received a stern tutorial as to how to survive falling overboard. We then had to demonstrate our skills by swimming across the river, floating downstream on our back, swimming to the raft, getting pulled in by a fellow rafter and then pulling in the next swimmer. After that we were divided into our groups and set off following the guides paddle instructions. Took us a few minutes to get coordinated but it was fun to work together and feel that we were contributing to the control of the raft. Was happy for the helmet after smacking into my sons head on the first rapid and very grateful for his quick thinking when he saved me from going over on the next rapid. (Damn that lack of core strength
