Kuskokwim Backwater Approach - Day Adventures, Alaska, United States
5.0 (17 reviews) Spent Ranking #2 in Bethel Gear Rentals • Kayaking & Canoeing
Friendly Service, Awesome Experience!
Had an absolute blast with our kayak rentals from Kirk & Barb (owners)! This charming little business is situated right on a slough, so we had a quiet, peaceful kayak trip up to the Kuskokwim River-about 45 minutes each way! It's a super easy trip up the slough because there is barely a current! Beginners (like me) or kids or seniors will be totally fine! We went out right before sunset, a perfect time because there weren't very many boats out, so we were able to go out onto the river without worrying about fishermen and barges! Our trip was 2 hours long, in late June, and it got a bit chilly, so I definitely recommend a jacket! The owners were super friendly, we were a group of 4 from all over the lower 48, and we sat and chatted with the owners for a while after our trip-they were so sweet! Very helpful and offered lots of tips for other local things! We will definitely be making another stop here when we go back through Bethel!

Fantastic Service
I was in Bethel for work with a day to spare and called up the morning of to see about renting a kayak for a few hours. Barb was fantastic with my last minute request, promptly loading up a kayak and dropping me off at nearby Hangar Lake so I could paddle around for a bit. It was incredibly peaceful--saw lots of birds and even a few seaplanes take off. Barb is lovely and I wouldn't hesitate to go through Kuskokwim Backwater if I'm in town again!

Beautiful view of Bethel
A friend and I took took her Nephew for an adventure down Brown's slough to the free fish bin...no fish, but a good destination for a stop and leg stretch, before turning around. Nearly a perfect 2 hour round trip. Barb and Kirk super pleasant and nice folks. Reasonable rates and a memorable day in Bethel!
