Alaska Float Trip Schedule & Rates

With our diverse selection of options spanning from Bristol Bay to Southwest Alaska, we've got you covered for your next float fishing adventure!

Booking an Alaska Float Fishing Trip

If you're planning a fishing trip to Alaska, don't settle for the usual crowd-filled lodges. Choose something different — a true wilderness float trip. Our multi-day expeditions are comfortable, well-equipped, and run by guides who know these rivers the way most people know their own driveways.

Here’s the part nobody puts on their website, even though anyone who’s ever tried to organize a fishing trip with friends already knows it:getting a handful of anglers to land on the same week is like trying to net smoke in a crosswind.

Everyone’s got their own currents tugging at them — work, family, hunts, other rivers, life in general. And just when the stars seem to line up, someone’s buddy draws an elk tag or remembers a wedding and the whole thing scatters. That’s not a problem to fix;it’s simply the natural order of group trips in Alaska.

We don’t strong-arm deadlines or chase people down. We keep it straight:when a group lines up, the trip locks in.Until then, interest drifts, circles back, shifts again. After decades on these rivers, we’ve learned to trust the rhythm.

If you're trying to pull a crew together or just testing the waters, reach out anytime and we’ll help steer things without the drama.

And if you're the kind of angler who just wants to go — reach out anyway. We often have trips with a spot or two open, and you might end up fishing alongside a few like-minded folks who are just as hungry to experience the Alaska we can take you to. Plenty of great groups have started with one person raising their hand and saying, “I’m in.” The river has a way of filling in the rest.

Planning Ahead

Booking a guided Alaska float trip takes some strategy, especially on rivers with limited start dates. If you have specific dates in mind, start planning8–12 months in advance.

Look at when your target species are most available, and consider shoulder seasons if you want more flexibility.

If you're checking availability, use the form on our Contact Us page. Things can change quickly — especially on permit-limited waters like the Goodnews and Kanektok — and we can guide you toward the best dates for your expectations.

If your preferred week is full, get on our cancellation list. Openings happen more often than you'd think.

When You Find Your Week

Once you land on dates that work for you (or your group), be ready to commit. High-demand weeks can fill a year or more in advance.

Coordinating a group helps, but flexibility helps even more. Most of our dates are tied to permits and logistics, so you may need to shift your travel window slightly to match our start dates.

For especially popular trips, many anglers book for the following year as soon as the current season ends. It’s one of the best ways to secure the exact week you want.

The Bottom Line

Every river has limited starts each season, and availability varies. The more planning you put in — and the sooner you reach out — the better your chances of landing the dates and the experience you're after.

Whether you're building a group, joining one, or just raising your hand to say you're ready, we’ll help you find your place on the river.

The Arolik River is tight, technical water—the kind of Alaska most people only hear about anymore. Quiet. Clear. Uncompromised. All five salmon species, rainbows with real weight, char lit up like fire, and grayling that rise just because they feel like it. And the water? It's so transparent you're not guessing at fish—you're looking them in the eye. Nothing here is automatic. Every cast is earned. Every mistake is visible. The river is small enough to call you out and generous enough to reward you when you get it right. That intimacy—the way the place makes you slow down, think, and actually fish—that's what gets under your skin. This isn't a river for crowds, hero shots, or production numbers. It's a piece of wild water that demands respect and deserves to be shared only with people who understand what a place like this is worth. To keep it that way, we run just four guests per trip with two guides—small groups, quiet water, and a river that stays wild because we treat it that way.

The much-awaited fishing season on the Kanektok River is finally here! It's an excellent opportunity to catch some of the finest grayling and trophy-sized leopard rainbow trout.

As the season begins, there are specific fishing techniques that work best during this time of year. Streamer, mice pattern, and waking fly fishing are some of the popular methods and while grayling and rainbow trout are available throughout the season, this early part of the season is the best time to catch them on top water. The fish are more active, and there's less fishing pressure, fewer salmon and dollies which increases success. So, pack your bags, grab your gear, and get ready for an unforgettable fishing adventure on the Kanektok River!

Same flies, different week, and some great mousing to be had! If you are into the mouse then the trout are here for it. There are lots of Grayling and Rainbows around, and the salmon are starting to show, fun times, you should be here!

The fishing conditions should be consistent, offering abundant mousing opportunities. Trout, in particular, have been actively feeding on mice, making for some great fishing experiences. Additionally, there are plenty of Grayling around, which offer excellent chances for those who prefer dry fly fishing. Anglers can use a light single-handed rod depending on the conditions and their preferences. Mouse or sculpin flies are recommended, as they have proven to be quite effective. Interestingly, Grayling have also been knows to come chasing after mouse flies, making for an exciting spectacle. Overall, it's an excellent time to be float fishing the Kanektok River with Alaska Rainbow Adventures.

The Kanektok River in Alaska has been witnessing a splendid natural spectacle since early August - the Coho or Silver Salmon have been pouring in with each incoming tide. This annual event, popularly known around camp as Silver Mania, has taken over the river, drawing a lucky few fishing enthusiasts from far and wide to experience the thrill of catching these prized fish on a true wilderness Alaskan river. This week is particularly suitable as the river teems with plenty of Coho Salmon, Silvers love to take pink wogs patterns off the surface, especially in slack water, or stripped over and past them and the chase is on! Don't let this golden opportunity slip away, the Dolly Varden/Char, and the trout just keep getting fatter as fall arrives!

As we approach the end of the year, we are also nearing the end of the fishing season in southwest Alaska. However, before the season comes to a close, we have the opportunity to experience the breathtaking display of nature's beauty in its final moments. The vibrant mountainsides adorned in a myriad of colors, and the crystal-clear waters below are a sight to behold. It's a time to appreciate the dolly varden and char, as they reveal their stunning spawning colors while being reeled in. The coho, ranging from silver to rosy red, make a grand entrance, breaking the silence of the peaceful backwaters with their energetic runs. And if that's not enough to satisfy your fishing cravings, the rainbows are at their prime, having grown thick and plump after a summer of feasting. It's a season of abundance, wonder, and great fishing, culminating in a final celebration before the long winter sets in.
