Packrafting - Private Tour
Experience the Thrill of Rafting Amongst Glaciers
Choose from a 4-5 hour or 6-8 hour tour. You will be dropped off via helicopter at a remote location near the confluence of three different glaciers. Here at the base of the mountains, you will be provided all of the necessary gear to complete your Class 1 float adventure in your very own inflatable raft. This float trip will take you down a remote river between three different glaciers in the South Central Alaska region. Here you will experience a calm float, search for wildlife and take in the mountainous views of Alaska.
Choose a half-day tour up to 4 hours with snacks provided or choose the 6-8 hour FULL day tour with lunch included.
With the full-day tour, you will extend your journey to the confluence of the infamous Lake George at the base of the Colony Glacier.
