Failure to follow guide instructions or engaging in unsafe conduct may result in restriction from activities or termination of participation. If, in the sole judgment of the guides or staff, a participant refuses to follow safety instructions, is under the influence of drugs or excessive alcohol during activities, or behaves in a manner that endangers themselves, other guests, staff, wildlife, or the trip, Alaska Rainbow Adventures may restrict that participant from activities or terminate their participation at the earliest practical and safe opportunity without refund.

Any additional transportation, evacuation, or logistical costs resulting from such removal shall be the sole responsibility of the participant.

Alcohol Policy

Moderate consumption by guests 21+ is permitted during designated camp times only. Alcohol is strictly prohibited during fishing, river activities, equipment operation, safety briefings, and transportation.

We utilize satellite communications for emergencies. Response times may be limited by weather, terrain, and other factors beyond our control. Wilderness Operations Notice: Alaska Rainbow Adventures operates in remote environments where professional medical care, rescue services, and evacuation resources may not be immediately available. Rescue or evacuation may be significantly delayed or impossible due to weather, terrain, transportation limitations, or the remoteness of the operating area.
