This was a great introduction to pack rafting. A lot of valuable knowledge - not the kind of knowledge reading a book or hearing stories will give you. The kind of knowledge you learn by DOING. An in person course with professionals and actually being in a boat on the water is unmatched. I learned a lot of new techniques and skills, brushed up on some old knowledge, and honestly just had a really fun time with folks out on the water! The instructors were amazing, fun, and knowledgable. This course also opens a segue to meet others interested in the same sport / outdoor adventures! Paddling is a sport that SHOULD be done with others if for no other reason than the fun of it {and ya know safety for your own life is a pro of paddling with others ;) }. I can't stress how valuable this course (or any others offered) would be. Taking a course like this will only enhance your experience on the water. Seriously, stop reading this and just book you class already. Lydia and Brian were our instructors, they did phenomenal. Would absolutely recommend this course!

Jule and her guiding crew are legends. I have taken several courses with her team and I have always had a blast! Worth the cost every single time. If you are curious about packrafting in any way, or looking to hone your skills, book a course or adventure with the Alaska Packraft School, you won't regret it!

This was a fun trip with lots of learning and kayak skills. I was hoping to spend more time on the water each day, but high July rains and river flow limited us. Logistics were difficult coming from out of state because of the dynamic nature of decision making around daily river conditions. Would recommend this trip for locals rather than out of state travelers. Jule is an excellent instructor with lots of knowledge and experience to share. I would recommend signing up for courses/trips with the Alaska Packraft School to learn from her!

Owner/Operator "Jule-licious" Planned a 3 day pack-rafting excursion for 3 thrill seeking Texans! While the thrills were totally awesome & the views were breath taking. Jule allowed us to progress in our rafting skills while always puting our safety 1st. Not allowing our drive to go beyond our "lower-states skill-set! Her rafting, hiking, & nature knowledge of Alaskas was super useful & interesting. I would advice every one to use Jule or her company for an adventure. Her positive upbeat personality make any situation a joyful memory to share!! Thk U "J"!!

Awesome experience, great instructors, highly recommend!
