Rafting Trips

River rafting is great fun, and there are no real rapids to speak of, so unguided trips are a cinch.

The float plane will pick your group up in the morning and whisk you over craggy mountain tops and then circle in to land on a glacier-teal lake. This excursion is un-guided, because it's such a mellow ride...No whitewater here, just great success in fishing for Pinks, Silvers, Rainbows and Dolly Varden, depending on the time of summer, PLUS you'll enjoy fantastic photo ops as you float right past Kodiak Brown Bear!! Pull over to the riverbank for a picnic lunch beneath an enormous eagle's nest, paddle along until you find the perfect eddy to ply the waters for a spunky trout,  then make your way to the river mouth, where dozens of harbor seal can often be seen chasing their supper.

Lee shows off a beautiful Rainbow Trout.

The bird's-eye view from the float plane on the way back to the lodge at the end of the day will give you a glimpse of Kodiak's numerous inlets and fjord-like bays which create such a prolific marine eco-system. The banya will be hot when you return, and you can bake your paddle weary muscles or give them the cold treatment by taking the plunge in our ice cold creek! What a day!! 

You might want to step onto the river bank to fish the riffles.

This day-trip is provided by our affiliates and Alderwood Retreat receives no commission from your participation in this adventure. We promote this excursion simply because we know what an amazing & memorable journey it can be, and want you to experience everything Kodiak has to offer! 




If I don’t leave soon Ginger and Karen will have me so fat with their cooking that I will not be able to climb in and out of the boat.


Float right past Kodiak bear as they try their luck catching salmon that are traveling upriver to spawn.

The best food, the best hospitality, the most world-class fishing and hunting Alaska has to offer.
