We offer Alaska raft trips that offer scenic views, wildlife viewing, fishing, and whitewater.
Custom group Alaska rafting adventures are available on request. If have interested in something special or participating in an exploratory expedition, please contact us with your ideals or to see what plans are being made.
Kongakut River - 10 day Arctic National Wildlife Refuge Rafting Safari. Explore Alaska's remote Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) by raft on the "river of caribou". Our trip coincides with the annual migration of the 130,000-strong Porcupine caribou herd and passes through some of the world's most pristine wilderness.
Lake Creek - 7 day Whitewater Rafting and Fishing Adventure. Our favorite fly-in wilderness adventure river, great combination exciting whitewater and great Alaska fishing. Lake Creek offers almost continuous Class II/III whitewater with a few Class IV rapids, five species of salmon, rainbow trout and arctic grayling.
Chulitna River - 4 day Denali Raft Adventure. An excellent family adventure and sampling of Alaska's best wilderness and geography at a casual pace. We travel through Denali State Park, upper Susitna Valley and take out near Trapper Creek, a historic gold mining town. |

Custom Tours
Group, Family And Corporate Tours And Group Discounts
 If you can imagine it, Backcountry Safaris can make it happen. We offer personalized custom trips that cater to the special interests, dates, and desires of your group or family, as well as discounts for groups joining a scheduled tour.
We also own Denali Bus and offer group or corporate bus charters for your transportation needs.
Forming a group can be a rewarding experience. Not only will you introduce your friends and associates to a great Alaskan vacation idea, but trip members will also save money.
For most Backcounty Safaris scheduled sea kayaking and rafting trips, we offer a 10% discount for groups with 4 to 7 participants, 15% for 8 or 9 participants, and 20% for groups of 10 or more. The group organizer is responsible for collecting all deposits and submitting them as a single payment, i.e. one check. The group organizer distributes all trip information to the members of the group, collects the final payment and submits it as a single payment. By acting as the group coordinator who keeps track of payments, trip applications, release forms, communications and questions, you save our office time and money. Giving group discounts is our way of passing our savings on to you.
Group tours must be booked through our office to qualify for a group discount. Not all tours are eligible for discounts; please ask.
Please contact us if you need more information or a price quote for a large group or a custom trip.
