Alaska Rainbow Adventures is the leader when it comes to  lodge quality Alaska float fishing expeditions. Perhaps your interest is a trip to Alaska's Bristol Bay region to tangle with some of the largest and most plentiful Trophy Rainbow Trout in the world, or your interest might be in any of the five species of Pacific Salmon, Arctic Char, Shefish, Pike or other species. Whatever you and your group desire, we offer Alaska fishing trips at the right time and on the right rivers to fit your expectations. The best way to decide when and where to go, is to call us and let our many years of Alaska experience help guide you to the trip of your dreams. For the Nature enthusiast and photographer, we also now offer a limited number of guided Alaska brown bear and wildlife viewing float trips during August. There are also fishing trips in or near South Central Alaska not far from Anchorage, Alaska's largest city. Well for one the fishing is better on a Alaska Rainbow Adventures wilderness float trip because we are on the rivers at the peak of the salmon runs or during times when availability is highest for native species like the rainbow trout for which our trips are famous. Of course we also offer trips targeting other species such as dolly varden/arctic char, sheefish, pike and grayling. Whatever your reason to visit Alaska our staff of Alaskan guides will bring to the river that unique local knowledge of fishing Alaska you can only get as a resident of the 49th state.

You do not even have to go back to the lodge at 5 O’clock because you are already there, camped right on the river! You couldn't be any closer to the fishing as we camp at the best available fishing holes and of course you are more then welcome to fish as much as you like and many of our guests join us for this reason alone! We can put you on the best fishing holes, one after another all day long as you to present your hook to fish in the most effective way from one of our custom inflatable boats or while wading

of water on our trips much of it where jet boats and airplanes simply can not go. Our guides will lead you through about six to ten miles of river a day, just the right balance of wade fishing from the bank as we stop at hole after hole and of drift fishing from the boats. Our float trips also give you more opportunities for relaxing and seeing wildlife in their natural surroundings without being run off by the sound of an approaching outboard engine. The "experience" shared by a group of people on an adventure through remote, breath taking wilderness is something that you will remember forever. Many of our guests return year after year renewing friendships formed on the river with their guides and other guests they meet on Alaska Rainbow Adventures float trips. 

Your wake-up call every morning is about 7:30 am with hot coffee or favorite beverage brewing and breakfast soon follows. After we eat, you will have time to go back to your tent to pack up your personal gear, fold up your, cot, sleeping pad and tent and take your gear down to the rafts unless it is a no travel day then you just go fishing! The rafts are then loaded and we start floating around 9:30 am. We spend the morning float/fishing until lunchtime which we have streamside. After lunch, we continue float/fishing to our evening campsite arriving about 5:30 pm sometimes a bit later depending on who we had to drag out of that last hot run on the river. After the rafts have been unloaded, we all help set up camp which generally takes about 30 minutes. Your next decision is whether to sit back and just relax or continue fishing the camp waters. Supper is usually ready about 7:30 pm. Afterwards you can wade fish the camp waters until you are satisfied

As a guide, lodge owner, and booking agent, it's very difficult for me to give Kudos. I have seen the best. I know good fishing, and hunting operations when I see them. Your guides are world-class guides, and most importantly people. The gear is the finest, and most reliable money can buy. The food is excellent, as well. I'll put your float operation up against any in Alaska. Excellent Job!! Oh and Kudos!

on the deluxe river trips are in spacious, high quality tents. Each of these tents is used to house two anglers. This provides you ample space for your gear, as well as a comfortable retreat should the weather become inclement. These tents make getting ready in the morning a breeze, allowing you to stand comfortably while gearing up and putting on waders. We also provide cots and sleeping pads, a welcome luxury after a day of fishing. Each campsite will have a designated area away from camp, with the private toilet unit that is required under the auspices of our federal permit. We now even offer unlimited hot showers while on the river for that fresh have not been fishing feeling. Please note that our Intimate rivers trips may offer a few less of these deluxe comforts, depending on what we can safely carry in aircraft and on the rafts. Shown is one of our group dining tents.

Small group size is an important part of our philosophy at Alaska Rainbow Adventures. By limiting our trips to no more then six anglers*, we are able to provide a personal, high quality wilderness experience. We usually operate with a three to one guest / guide ratio and operating two rafts per trip, occasionally the ratio ends up being less but never more. If you are looking for an outstanding adventure away from the crowds offering unrestricted fishing time, a wilderness float with A.R.A. is exactly what you want. *Please note that arrangements for larger groups can be made for trips on some rivers if your group is larger then six persons, please call for details. For groups of less then 6 persons wishing to remain private there is a 30% of trip price additional fee, otherwise we reserve the right to fill any trip with up to six guests unless you have paid for private status.

Meals are served home style and offer generous portions of traditional entrees prepared with choice cuts of meat and fresh fish. These come with all the trimmings and dessert. At midday, a hearty lunch is prepared on the bank, and should you need an extra bit of energy to help you land that big one, snacks of fresh fruit and cookies are available. You are invited to make menu suggestions for your trip and we will try to accommodate them whenever possible. We recommend you drink only filtered water, which we will provide throughout the trip.

On our deluxe trips state of the art 18' catarafts or 14' self bailing rafts from the largest producer of whitewater craft in America are utilized to get you safely down the river in comfort. Each raft is equipped with a custom rowing frame, floor, and for angler comfort, padded high back seats. For our intimate rivers program we may utilize smaller catarafts or rafts, however all of these craft provide a safe, comfortable platform for fishing and relaxing while drifting downstream in search of what action awaits around the next bend. For fishing on our "local waters", we use boats set up specifically for these shorter 1/2 to 2 day trips.
