Amazing adventure!
We did the full day rafting and gold panning adventure. And this was an ADVENTURE — the raft dropped us and a guide off on a little island where we hiked on a thickly wooded moose trail and forded a creek (they give you waders!) to get to the gold panning site. And this is no touristy little gold panning — it’s hard work and the real deal! Our guide, Mike, was so knowledgeable and fun. My kids (10, 12, and 14) had a blast. The river float was also beautiful, the scenery is unreal and our rafting guide Tom was so knowledgeable and patient. My one caveat would be that although the website makes this sound like a low-key outing, the gold panning portion is actually quite physically demanding, so I would not recommend it for very young kids or people who don’t have a basic level of physical fitness. That said, we are no backwoodsmen — just some regular suburbanites — and we had the time of our lives!

TOM!
Our guide Tom absolutely made the trip. He was an experienced raft guide and navigated the river with ease. 10 people in the raft was not easy work, but he made sure the trip was safe and comfortable for everyone. He was extremely personable and was easy to connect with. He was very knowledgeable about the wildlife we were seeing and the surrounding area. The gear they provide was more than enough protection from the elements and we left dry and happy! Not many rapids, but this was a "float" not a "rapids tour" so please come expecting to see great wildlife and learn a lot about the Kenai River.

Awesome fishing day
We were fortunate to have Lucas as our Kenai river guide. He was friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and a lots of fun. He taught us how to find and fish for Sockeye salmon, took us to several honey holes with fish and did his best so we could land our fish. My wife has become a baptized Alaskan(lol)! The boat ride was beautiful, everything at a leisurely pace, highly recommended, will do again! Thanks, Lucas
