Alaska Wildland Adventures - Girdwood, Alaska

Sonja Callahan

I brought my 12 year old son to Wildland for a couple days to spend some time adventuring and connecting, no phones or devices allowed. (They’ll work if you need them, we just went without!) It could not have gone better! We live in Anchorage, so we do our share of adventuring as a family of 5, but spending time at Wildland just the two of us was really special. The river rafting trip was a highlight, our guides were excellent. We played UNO and ping pong on the gorgeous, huge, riverfront deck at every opportunity, grabbing cold drinks or snacks from the lodge when we took breaks. I leveraged my ping pong wins into time sweating together in the dry sauna, and when we got too hot we dunked in the glacial river. The food was delicious, and by the end of the trip, we didn’t want to come home! I know that guests at Wildland are primarily visitors from out of state, but I would recommend a stay to anyone local looking for a ready-made adventure!

Me and my sister recently did the ultimate Alaska adventure. From start to end this was a superb experience.
The entire staff is very professional, knowledgeable, experienced, and a great respect and appreciation for the wild-land.
We made this reservation with Dave he was very helpful and
and answered all our questions.
Our guide for the week was Brett Johnson, we were a group of 10, he made everything possible to make sure our expectations were met, and at least for me and my sister they were exceeded we felt at all times VIP. He is extremely knowledgeable, experienced and professional, we felt safe at all times.
We also had other guides during our trip, Spencer was our guide during a terrific hike that lasted about 6 hours. Mento, our rafting guide in the Kenai river- he is the wiki human version. Mooney, Harrison, Nick and Maya also had to mention, they gave us fabulous tours during our stay in the glacier lodge.
We stayed in 3 lodges the riverside, the backcountry and glacier lodge, words cannot describe these places, you have to go yourself so you can understand what I’m trying to say. The staff if the 3 lodges is excellent, I have to give 100/10 to them- I’m not exaggerating, the food was excellent, they have different options for those with diet restrictions, allergies etc.
I am very happy I went to Alaska and that I did it with this company. I am of course coming back.
Thank you Dave, Brett, Mento, Mooney, Harrison, Nick, Maya and Spencer and rest of the staff for this great experience.

We went on the 11 day Alaska Grand Adventure. The trip was amazing! AWA took care of absolutely everything. The lodges were in fabulous locations and the food was delicious. We experienced the remoteness of a camping trip without giving up all the creature comforts that those of us of a certain age have come to expect. Our guide, Harrison, was knowledgeable, interesting and competent. He, along with our driver Ben, worked together to make our trip unforgettable. I highly recommend Alaska Wildland Adventures!

June 21, 2022 we did a full day rafting trip down the Kenai River. Our guide was absolutely amazing! We're terrible with names and aren't 1000% sure but we think it was Layla, we do know for sure she was from FL 🙂 Either way she was the most knowledgeable, personable, funny, and best story teller around. Oh and let's not forget this girl knows how to prepare a table of food. We enjoyed a beautiful day floating, splashing, and enjoying beautiful wildlife sightings. Highly recommend this company and be sure to request "Layla", the best storyteller from FL!

Oh and shout out to Doug a fellow rafter who shared some awesome photos he took on his camera of the brown bear, moose, and eagles we saw!

Mia was our exceptionally competent, informative, and delightful guide on our 2-hour float. We saw over 40 bald eagles on that beautiful teal blue river. Thank you for a fabulous Alaskan memory.

Kathleen Baltovski

Amazing trip of a lifetime! Nothing negative to say. Food, staff, lodging are all excellent. Extremely knowledgeable and professional guides.

Nicole Zink

We enjoyed the 2-hour scenic float, great views, and knowledgeable guide (Eli). Of course not in control of the tour company, but do know this river runs next to a main road.

Everyone, from my original contact, until we concluded our two days on the water were kind and helpful! Our guides, Walker and Madison were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Both were instructive and gave you a secure and confident feeling on the water. This was a great experience for both myself and wife.
