Overview
This is a classic Alaskan Adventure. Packrafting is a uniquely Alaskan sport and this introduction will give you an insight into the ingenuity of these boats in the Alaskan landscape. Conveniently located around the bend from Anchorage lies the Knik valley, home to the Knik Glacier and River. This tour includes a hike up the braided Knik River to the terminus of the Knik Glacier, where we will stop for lunch before blowing up our packrafts and assembling our gear for a float around Knik's terminus lake looking at icebergs and learning more about glaciology. After we are done floating around the lake and practicing our paddling maneuvers, we will paddle the Knik River to back to the starting point of our adventure.

This can be booked as a private tour with a minimum of 4 participants. We can also customize this tour to include camping for multiple days. Please contact us for more information on customizing a tour.
