What's different about us?  When you are a guest of Alaska Charters and Adventures you are special, not a number in a crowd.  Our Stikine River trips include plenty of stops ashore to get out and really explore this wilderness. Time to get a hands on experience, touch the glacier, walk in the woods, sit in the hot tubs visit a real homestead and even take the time to fish stream. If you have come all this way to see Alaska don't take the budget, quick flyby tour ...do the real thing. We will know what your specific interests, limitations and experiential goals are for each excursion even before you arrive.  Because our boats travel with 6 or fewer clients (unless your group is larger) we are better able to cater to your objectives and timeframes.  Our captains and guides are highly trained professional mariners with over 28  years of experience on the river.  Your guide and captain will be specifically selected for you the day you book, you can expect the quality of a mature, full time, naturalist certified guide dedicated exclusively to you.  No large crowds, impersonal attitudes, novice or adolescent captains! Additionally, we dedicate a full day to your adventure.  You will not be rushed through the experience in order to accommodate the two departures a day that many other operators schedule.  Alaska Charters and Adventures carefully tailors every excursion to your personal schedule, interests, and with hopes of exceeding your expectations in every way.
