Alaska Guided Multi-Day Rafting Trips

One of the most unique and adventurous ways to explore the backcountry—combining hiking and paddling into one seamless journey. Using lightweight, inflatable packrafts, you can trek over mountain passes and float down remote rivers in places few people ever reach.

Popular regions for guided Alaska packrafting include Wrangell-St. Elias, the Brooks Range, and the Talkeetna Mountains, where you’ll navigate glacial rivers, spot wildlife, and camp under endless northern skies.

Whether you're an experienced adventurer or trying packrafting for the first time, guided multi-day trips provide the expertise, safety, and gear you need to fully immerse in Alaska’s raw, wild beauty.

Guided Backcountry Adventures

Season: June 10 – September 1 $115+ 3+ hours

Raft the gor­geous glac­i­er-fed rivers and ice­berg-filled lakes of the Alaskan back­coun­try out of McCarthy, an his­toric town in the heart of America’s largest nation­al park, Wrangell-St. Elias. Going with St. Elias Alpine Guides — the park’s longest-oper­at­ing raft­ing com­pa­ny — is a great way to expe­ri­ence the wilder­ness on every­thing from half-day out­ings to 15-day expe­di­tions. No expe­ri­ence is required, and all food and gear are provided!
