Float trips, and all of our fishing tours and outdoor adventures available for booking are physically demanding expedition character trips in the remote Alaskan Wilderness that may require active physical participation, such as light camp chores, and other activities from its participants! In addition, some personal expectations, certain amenities, and specific individual or other needs may not be practical to be met and, or realizable in this special nature of trip and the environment it takes place. While we make every attempt to have all the items we promise for any particular trip, due to operations and the logistics of operating in remote areas of Alaska some services may be subject to change without notice. Such changes can further be due to reasons related, but are not limited to operations and logistics in remote areas of Alaska, unpredictable weather and events, physical and/or mental condition of participants, safety, transportation, and equipment failure.
