What To Expect

Experience the rush of Alaska whitewater! Get ready for an adrenaline-packed adventure as you navigate this Class IV creek, running through two consecutive canyons. Each canyon offers increasingly beautiful and challenging terrain, with narrow passages, steep drops, crashing waves, and deep, stunning blue pools. Surrounded by lush rainforest walls, this thrilling ride will keep you on the edge of your seat!

The creek cuts through the breathtaking Chugach National Forest before flowing into the Pacific Ocean at Turnagain Arm, just a short distance from the charming town of Hope. Located only two hours south of Anchorage off the Seward Highway, this tour combines exhilarating rapids with the serene beauty of a semi-rainforest gorge—truly a picture-perfect river trip.

Both our 2-canyon and 3-canyon rafting trips include a mandatory (yet fun) in-river swim test before launching. This ensures everyone’s comfort and safety in the water, allowing participants to practice self-rescue techniques and assess swimming abilities before hitting the rapids.
