Awesome peak into small town Alaska! - I stumbled on this opportunity through airbnb experience email and am glad we did. After busy but fun times in anchorage and seward, this was a relaxing and wonderful look into small town Alaska. Jen was great to chat with and felt like new friends by the end. Would definitely recommend you stop do this the cool little town Moose Pass.

Priceless! - Absolutely amazing experience. Jen is so genuine, kind, and knowledgeable about the history of Alaska and Moose Pass and it was exciting to learn about all of the stories behind the cities and people in the area. It rained and was a bit cloudy during our trip, which personally made it more enjoyable for me (if you want sunny weather, plan accordingly!). Also got to sip on some hot tea when we stopped for a break! Nothing but positive things to say! Thank you so much Jen :)

Super friendly host and fantastic trip - Jen and JD were super nice. We booked tour without checking the weather, by the time we got to meet them, the rain already started. They careful prepared raincoats and some hot beverages for us. The small delightful touches kept us to stay dry and warm. Jen knows the history inside out, if you want to know a few things about the river, Alaska, and things to do. You are at the right place. ☺️ I would highly recommend them for my friends.

Truly Wonderful! - It's definitely a very wonderful experience! Jen and JD are great, knowledgeable, friendly, and lovely! The view itself is breathtaking, and the experience itself is one of a kind! Jen and JD shared many interesting and unique stories, and we were able to see beautiful views, hiked in wild woods, and saw the salmon swimming upstream! I highly recommend them!

Let’s do that again!! - We went for a recent adventure with Moose Pass Adventures and it was superb! We paddled the scenic Trail Lake while our incredibly knowledgeable guide, Jen, taught us all about the strong humans who made this area what it is today. We then hiked to Grant Lake learning all about the native vegetation- what to admire from afar but not touch (Monks Hood!) and what to enjoy close up (ripe blueberries!). We didn’t mind the rain one bit, we actually enjoyed its tranquility! This is because we had been well prepared by the company as to what we could expect with weather. Moose Pass Adventures has it dialed in from beginning to end. We couldn’t imagine a better way to spend a Wednesday in July. Can’t wait to come back. -Kate and Gus

Great kayaking outfit - Great tour on a gorgeous lake in Moose Pass! We had the opportunity to see float planes in action and watch a train go by on the Alaska railroad - classic Alaska experience, and an easy, short drive from Seward. The team was flexible and able to accommodate us on short notice, and were clearly very knowledgeable both about kayaking and the surrounding area. Would absolutely go back next time we're in town!
