If you're thinking about taking this tour, don't hesitate. It's kind of like a combination of the excitement of a Disneyland ride with a beautiful nature tour... you know... If their animals weren't just people costumes and their water features weren't built into fiberglass and concrete. We had great fun and the views of bears, otter, deer, elk, and birds... more

Fabulous trip! These boats are amazing and the river is beautiful. We saw lots of animals and Bald Eagles too. Our boat captain had a good eye and told stories along the way. It was exciting (not scary) going into the whitewater, I mean a real thrill. We took a picnic, but next time we will eat at the lodge... more

Getting sprayed by passerby's and from the boat was refreshing on the hot day of our ride (July 7, 2007). We did the express ride,... more

I went on the opening day trip with the Mailboats on May 1st with Capt'n Stan on the 104 mile trip. What a great trip saw lots of wildlife and waterfalls on the river. Even saw mama bear and her 2 cubs what a treat! The surprise was that the Today show was filming our trip for a segment on... more
