Spectacular route. Jule Harle is a thorough and helpful river guide.

What a fantastic group to adventure with in Alaska! Pete was an EXTREMELY professional guide. He made sure everyone knew how to be safe in the event an Out of Boat Experience happens. Highly recommend floating with Alaska Pack Raft and Pete!

Alaska Packraft School is amazing. Jule and her team are incredible instructors with passion for the sport. I have taken several courses with APS now and cannot recommend them enough!

We had an excellent 2.5 days whitewater training camp with Peter as our instructor. Opportunities to practice self and partner rescue, team rescue,, throw ropes, as well as essential Skills (Eddy entry and depart, river reading and group communication, safety & paddling strokes). Highly recommend. We took this course last year too,; taking it again was an opportunity to build on our skills, address personal goals/ challenges and gain knowledge from a patient and highly skilled teacher in a small group setting (with really fun classmates!)
