Guided Alaska Canoe Trips

Canoe Adventures in Alaska's Greatest Wilderness Areas

Canoe Trips Include: Our Caribou Canoe on the Kokolik River, a new trip in Kasegaluk Lagoon, the Savonoski Loop in Katmai National Park, and the Noatak River in Gates of the Arctic. Full schedule below.

 

Canoes are the traditional mode of river travel in Alaska.The quiet and simplicity of Alaska river canoeing allows us to take in our surroundings slowly. Canoe trips offer the right speed, freedom and grace for navigating rivers like the Kokolik, and the legendary Yukon River. From Katmai National Park to the Gates of the Arctic and the Western Brooks Range, canoes are a great way to enjoy the wilderness.

What to Expect on an Alaska Canoe Trip

We have a fleet of 16 foot Norwegian made folding canoes and some inflatable canoes. Depending on the size of the group, there will be one or two Arctic Wild Guides on each trip, though not in each boat.

 

On “travel days”, everyone works as a team to make and break camp and maneuver the canoes safely down the river. We plan all of our trips to maximize wildlife viewing and to provide ample time for leisurely picnic lunches, fishing and hiking. Our Alaska river canoe trips frequently include one, two, or three layover days, spent exploring, fishing, bird watching or just enjoying the solitude and silence.

 

Preparing for your Canoe Adventure

Our guides will provide canoeing instruction throughout the trip, so you do not need to be an expert paddler. Most of the paddling on our wilderness canoe trips is at a relaxed pace and no specific physical training is necessary, but being in decent shape physically will increase your overall enjoyment of the canoe trip. If you are interested in becoming a skilled canoeist prior to the trip, we are happy to arrange a course for you. Please contact us for details.
