Here at Alaska Rainbow Adventures, we truly put safety first on every single one of our float fishing trips. With over three decades in business and even more experience out on these waters, your team of professional guides possesses extensive knowledge of Alaskan rivers and wilderness. We take numerous measures to provide the safest trip possible, and it’s something we take very seriously.

How We Prioritize Your Safety

First off, our guides are incredibly experienced. They have vast knowledge leading groups through the remote Alaskan wilderness, are experts on local wildlife, and are well-versed in identifying any potential hazards. Every single one of our guides is also certified in CPR and first aid – because you just never know. While we have a team of seasoned pros, sometimes we do bring a new guide on board; it’s one of those occupations you can only truly master through hands-on experience out here.

Next, we only use top-of-the-line equipment. We're talking high-quality rafts, camping gear, and safety equipment that’s specifically designed for the Alaskan environment. Of course, personal flotation devices (PFDs) are provided for all guests.

efore every trip, our guides give a thorough safety briefing. We'll cover everything from how to properly use your PFD to what to do in any emergency situation, so you'll feel prepared and confident. And out in the field, our guides always carry satellite communication devices, so we can call for help if it’s ever needed.

One thing we strongly recommend for all our guests is to purchase medical evacuation insurance. While we do everything we can to keep you safe, in case of a serious injury or illness in such a remote setting, this insurance can be invaluable.

Beyond all that, we simply take a common-sense approach to safety. That means we avoid fishing in genuinely dangerous conditions, like during extremely high water or strong winds. We always encourage everyone to be aware of their surroundings, to use extreme caution especially while wading in the river, and to take precautions to prevent accidents at all times.

Your Role in a Safe Trip

For your part, if you're considering a trip with us, here are a few things to keep in mind:

Medical Conditions: Please inform us of any medical conditions you have. It's essential that you bring any necessary medications and supplies you might need for the duration of your trip.

Weather Conditions: As we've discussed, the weather in Alaska can change quickly. Packing appropriately for all types of weather conditions is crucial for your comfort and safety.

Follow Guide's Instructions: This is a big one. Our guides are there to keep you safe and ensure you have a fantastic experience, so please follow their instructions carefully – they know these rivers intimately!

By keeping these tips in mind and working together, we can help ensure that your Alaskan float fishing trip with us is not only safe but truly memorable.
