Raving About Rafting - This was one of the most peaceful and beautiful things we did while visiting Alaska. The Resurrection River was beautiful. Our guide was amazing. We felt very safe, never rushed, totally in awe of the beauty around us. I highly recommend this rafting adventure!

Highly recommend with kids! - We loved this tour! The guides - Dalia and Caroline - were amazing and the rapids were perfect for our age kids (10, 9, 8, 7). Everything was clean, well organized, efficient and easy. The views of Exit Glacier were spectacular and the guides did a great job of navigating the braided river and new obstacles that pop up overnight. Beautiful views, fantastic staff and exciting trip. Highly recommend!

Great Water Rafting Tour - Dahlia was absolutely fantastic as we were lucky enough to have a personalized water rafting tour since we were the only ones on the trip and it was stunning. We stops for pictures, hot cocoa and apple cider and to do a little hiking and she did a phenomenal job making it special. Our driver that shuttled us around was also fantastic and very friendly. Highly recommend!!

River Rafting Fun! - What an awesome adventure. We could not have asked for a better day. Our guide Cohan was outstanding. He taught us the ins & outs of rafting and we set off. We saw eagles along the way. It truly was an outstanding tour.

Fantastic - Rafting with our guide Cohan was a great experience. His engaging personality made the scenic raft down the river really fun. It was evident how much he enjoyed being a guide and his enthusiasm was contagious. He iturned us into an excellent team in no time and has a lot of knowledge of the area to share. Take a float down the river with Cohan!

Last trip of the season - The trip should have been cancelled due to the low water level. I feel like we carried the raft and walked more than we were in it. The guide was average not really engaging with the group. He obviously knows his stuff but was otherwise engaged. He did say we would be the last group of the season.

Not what I expected! - The advertisement photo, as well as the intro from the guides, inducated this would be a max class 2 rapids journey down the river. Also, there was no mention of the passengers participating in full on paddling. Our guides took a previously unchartered branch of the river. Within 10 minutes, the 12 yo boy across from me was in the rapids. My husband pulled him back in the raft. Immediately after that, the raft, and our boots, were full of water and we got snagged on driftwood. We all had to exit the raft. The rough water continued for about 30 minutes, after which we walked another 30 minutes with several people pulling or carrying the raft. Our guide did everything she could in the high waters, but at 110 lbs and a raft full of water with 5 people.... I felt completely unsafe. A little warning to set expectations would've been great in lieu of the Viator photo of 2 people showing no paddles looking quite peaceful.
