About Our Alaska Float Trip Program
If you are an angler who wants to experience an area with few other anglers, fishing in remote off-the-road wilderness locations while enjoying the natural beauty of Alaska and at the same time have a chance to catch wild trophy sized fish, we have the trip for you! We invite you to read over the various options we offer, check out the different waters we can take you to and consider what you or if you are part of an group desire to accomplish and then contact us. Our expert guides will help point you to the right trip at the right time that best suits those desires.We offer three different float trip programs on a wide variety waters across the state of Alaska all known by anglers from around the world for excellent fishing, be it for trophy rainbow trout or pacific salmon. These programs are our Fisherman's Deluxe, Standard Deluxe and Intimate River style float trips, and availability depends on the particular river you choose to float with us. On some waters all three service levels are available on others due to accessibility and logistics only what we call our "intimate rivers" version is an option.
Each of these packages offer a different level of service with the least expensive being what we have come to call our "intimate rivers" package utilizing smaller rafts, expedition style tents, and fewer amenities then the two deluxe trips and should be considered as an 'roughing it' bare bones style trip, comparable to what most other operators offer as standard Alaska float trip fare.
Our two deluxe trips, the "Fisherman's Deluxe" and "Standard Deluxe" We also call them our "Deluxe Alaska Lodge Style Float Trips" Because the accommodations are like no other you will find on an Alaska float trip anywhere. Accommodations on our deluxe float trips are in spacious, high quality tents made right here in Alaska. for Alaska conditions. Each of these tents is used to house two anglers in which you can stand in comfortably and come equipped with cots, sleeping pads and chairs. This provides you ample space for your gear, as well as a comfortable retreat should the weather become inclement. Also on these trips are our custom built large gathering / dinning tent capable of holding the entire group for dining or as a gathering area. All guests are welcome to hang out in this common space for drinks, fly tying and socializing. Other comforts such as available hot showers, toilet facilities and other little touches that make an Alaska Rainbow Adventures deluxe trip a cut above all others.
Where the
two deluxe trips differ is that on the "Fisherman's Deluxe"
trip there is a two to one guest to guide ratio with two
anglers and their guide floating the river in custom built
drifter rafts each equipped with custom frames that have
casting stations front and rear allowing for an exceptional
angling experience. There is also an additional gear-boat that
carries much of the camp gear and the majority of bags. Of
course we still spend as much time as possible wading for
fish. The additional guide/camp hand also assists in the
setting up and taking down camp and assisting where necessary
with guiding duties. The drifter rafts, being lightly loaded
and equipped with anchor systems are able to thereby access
almost any run on the river much like a drift boat and are
highly maneuverable as well. 
Our standard deluxe float trips offer the same camping amenities but no gear / bag boat or extra camp hand and a two or three to one guest / guide ratio depending on overall group size. These float trips require some participation and group effort. Your participation with unloading the rafts, moving camp gear and taking down sleep tents each morning is greatly appreciated. Each day anglers will rotate guides enabling everyone to fish with each member of the staff.

Besides fishing the Goodnews River other trips are available on Alaska waters such as the Togiak River, Alagnak River, Moraine Creek, American Creek and other waters, to see the full list of float trips available, click here.
The Alaska fishing season is relatively short running from June into late September on the rivers we offer trips on in the Bristol Bay region of Alaska and from mid May until late September in South-Central Alaska. This season revolves for the most part around the life cycle of the five species of pacific salmon which arrive in Alaska's rivers at different times not only through the season but at periods that can vary from river to river. This availability of the salmon and whether they are pre spawn, actively spawning and dropping eggs, or post spawn can strongly influence the behavior of resident species, the rainbow trout, grayling and char and their availability to anglers in a particular watershed as they follow the life dance of the salmon. This very availability of the salmon and what they are doing goes far to explain how a particular week one season can offer average fishing yet the same week the next year or even week can be epic!

Testimonials
Your Togiak river float was the trip of a life time
The weather was glorious. The only rain was the day we flew to the lake and then the sun shone on us and the mountains for the next 5 days. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone who wants great fishing and a mountainous landscape for a back drop.
A huge "Thank You" to Paul Hansen of Alaska Rainbow Adventures
You provided an excellent trip and were a superb outfitter in providing us with comfort, safety, in some of the world's most pristine large Rainbow water.
The Moraine Creek float trip I took with Alaska Rainbow Adventures
Was the best Alaska fly fishing trip I have ever been on. I caught my personal record rainbow and there were lots of "big fish". Of the 50 or so fish I caught, only two were smaller than 20 inches.
