We rafted the first two canions, and it was, not only the best part of this vacation, but may actually be the best time I have ever had on vacation. The canions are exciting and dangerous, and exactly what we were looking for. My three siblings and I rafted along with our aunt. The four of us siblings hadn’t been together since our dad’s funeral 13 years ago. We chose this activity as a family team building exercise, and we haven’t stopped talking about it since. That was over a week ago. In addition to the canions, the guides were experienced and personable. I can’t say enough good things about them. We were half an hour late, holding up the entire group, and our guides only nicely encouraged us to “move like we’re half an hour late” when we were dawdling. Our aunt fell overboard twice and our guide, Greg, was able to pull her back in the raft each time, single handedly, while simultaneously giving us commands and keeping the raft under control. To top all that, Chugach Outdoor takes pictures of the rafters while they’re going downstream and sells the pictures at the end of the trip. Our mother was on shore taking photos the entire time, and the Chugach photographer actually showed her where the best spots were to take pictures! The trip was absolutely amazing. We will do this every time we’re in Alaska.

My family’s Six Mike Creek rafting trip was fun and exciting. We’ve rafted many places across the US (Glacier NP MT, Browns Canyon CO, Deschutes River OR, Snake River WY, Yellowstone WY) and this was the best River we’ve done yet. The two canyons are rough, but manageable and fun. Of the 5 rafts that went down the creek, only one dumped its occupants, but the recovery was quick and everyone aboard was laughing at the experience. Our guide, Christoph was quiet, but extremely skilled. He hit every rapids cleanly which resulted in a very safe trip. Yes, we got wet, but never did I feel endangered. Kudos to Christoph! Also, a lot of reviews talk about the swim test. It nothing difficult except committing yourself to swim and float in the cold water. All thumbs up for this rafting adventure.

Two canyon whitewater trip - not for the faint hearted (or those not in good physical condition). We rafted the end of May, about a week after they opened for the season. There were four of us and the guide in the raft. The swim test was brutal - I'm a decent swimmer but 36 degree water with a dry suit and 'river shoes' (aka old sneakers) made it hard to get across the river. I didn't come out of the "float" part of the swim test early enough and the current was taking me downstream. I had to be 'rope rescued' and trust me, when they tell you if you have to grab a rope put it over your shoulder and turn on your back (as per the safety briefing) that is what you need to do -- I didn't think to do it immediately and was being dragged face first up river. But the guide pulled me to shore and I recovered after swallowing only a smart part of the river. Our guide, Neil (Neal?) was excellent - he provided instructions before each rapids including what to do if we got thrown out of the raft (e.g, swim to the left bank, swim to the right bank, grab the raft). All of us went out of the raft at one time or another (some of us more than once). No one in our boat chose to do the third canyon. You can make the decision on the third canyon after you get out of the last of the 2nd canyon rapids - they will adjust what you paid after the trip is over. I have rafted the Gauley river in WV and this was much more intense. I was glad to have the option to not do the third canyon! It was a great trip, quite professional company and safety is their priority.
