We booked the 4 hour Chulita River float trip as an excursion during our Alaskan land tour. We found the four hour trip to be much to long and we were very sorry that we had not chosen the 2 hour trip instead. I am sure the weather had a very negative impact on our trip. We went out later... More

One of the side trips Princess Cruise Line offered to arrange for us was a float trip. We were very impressed with the courtesy and professionalism of Talkeetna River Guides. Next time we are in the area we will be sure visit them again. More

Although we didn't see any bears, moose or beavers, the river and the surrounding forests were beautiful and the guide did a great job of pointing out things of interest. If your looking for a serene way to see the talkeetna river this is a good choice. More

Our guide was very patient with us as we have never salmon fished. He hunted relentlessly to fined a place where the fish were biting. Once we got a keeper, we took it to shore, where our guide immediately filleted it, and it was prepared at the restaurant. Talk about fresh. Great morning fishing! More

We used Talkeetna River Guides for our float trip and LOVED it! Our guide Kelly was awesome and very knowledgeable of the rivers and area. Very customer oriented and great customer service, which is hard to find today. More

We did the two hour float trip from Talkeetna-just a short van ride to the put in and walked back into town from the pull out. We brought our 4 y.o and felt totally comfortable with him along, though he's very good about following safety instructions. It was a pleasant float down river and the guide was very knowledgeable. We... More

It was $129.00 per person. Which includes: pick-up from our hotel and delivered to mile marker 133 on the... More

Took the four hour chulitna river float in August. We met the guides in downtown Talkeetna early in the morning for the drive to the put-in, which is in or near Denali State Park. We were driven there in a Suburban pulling the rafts with a driver and two guides. The rest of the rafters met us at the put-in.... More
