My fiancé and I signed up for a private three hour trail ride and we had so much fun. As an experienced rider who travels a lot, I often wish trail rides could be a little more exciting. I heard that this company allows advanced riders to go faster so we signed up. I left notes when I signed up suggesting the types of horses that would suit me and my fiancés best as I love a horse with speed and he needed one that was calmer. When we arrived, our guide, Hope, introduced us to our horses, who were clearly well fed and cared for. Hope was very friendly and talked with us the whole time, answering our questions about the area and the horses. She never questioned my ability or knowledge about horses which I really appreciated. We were able to gallop along the river quite a few times and it was a highlight of our trip to Alaska! The horses were very well suited for our respective riding abilities. Most trail riding companies have sour horses who are dull and completely unresponsive, but these horses were energetic and happy to do their jobs. I think this is due to the fact that the company allows clients with experience to ride faster but also because the guides take the horses out for fun after work to let them run and just have a good time. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and I highly recommend this company for both long-time riders and people who have never been on a horse alike. I have been on many trail rides in many states but this was the best!

I had the most amazing experience with Alaska Horse Adventures . Chose the 1,5 hour ride. At first, I was a bit nervous because I had very little experience, but the guide and horses quickly calm my nerves. The guide was sweet and patient (unfortunately cannot remember her name)The journey started through a muddy forest. The horses handled the terrain beautifully, showing how well trained and calm they are. As we came out of the forest, we were greeted by a breathtaking view of the mountains and a river. Our guide was fantastic-knowledgeable, friendly, and make sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying the ride. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for an awesome outdoor experience

Guide was great and even started our tour earlier since it didn't take as long as we thought to get there! The 1.5 hours was about 2/3rds wooded with some inclined and declines that for a few steps were steep, but manageable for rookie riders and there were some tight turns at times but the horses handled it great and were really well behaved and easy to control as they know the route well and follow the leader like a champ. One of the best, if not the best, trail ride experience we have had for riders who only get on a horse for tours like this when we travel internationally (this was our 5th time trying an experience like this). Highlight of the 1.5 hour ride was the 15-20 minutes we spent "walking on water" as we rode the horses not along the shoreline but straight out into the water for 1/2 mile from shore as we were in awe of the mountain view and the unique perspective surrounded by water (thankfully it was steady depth of about 1/2 - 1 foot).

We went on a 3 hour ride and had a fantastic time. Our guide was Mercy and her younger brother Andrew came with us too. They were both so fun to ride with and Mercy was a great guide. The ride had a good mix of different terrain. We went through the woods and on the beach and were able to do water crossings which was really fun. The Knik glacier is beautiful. We stopped at a great view point to have snacks which was a perfect little break. We highly recommend riding with Alaska Horse Adventures!

Our family had a fabulous experience on a private 1.5 hour trail ride with Megan! I appreciated that helmets were provided, and she made sure we all felt comfortable before starting off. The ride through the forest was beautiful, only to be eclipsed when we emerged onto the beach of the lake formed by the runoff from Knik glacier! We actually rode through the water which was such a cool experience! Megan took pictures for us and made sure we have a fantastic time! A highlight of our trip to Alaska!!

What an unforgettable experience! We had a booking, and it got a little messed up, but the owner took care of it right away and we were able to have a wonderful ride! Megan was an outstanding guide, and we loved it that hobo (her dog) came along with us for the ride. The horses were some of the best trail horses we've ever ridden. The horses were so friendly and docile. The scenery was spectacular. I am so glad that we had this experience. BEST. RIDE. EVER.

My daughter (6) and myself have been so excited for this horse tour since we booked months ago…. And it did not disappoint !! My daughter described this as “the best day ever!” Our guide Megan was patient, knowledgeable and kind and made me feel at ease letting my daughter be close to her during the ride (just in case). 10/10 from us! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This ride was very beautiful! I also appreciated my guide taking my riding experience into consideration and made it not just a "nose to tail" trail ride. Also, thank you to Hobo for your wonderful scouting efforts!

We went horseback riding with our three kids (ages 8, 11, 13) and the whole family absolutely loved it! It was one of our favorite days in Alaska despite it being a rainy day. The company had all the gear we needed to stay dry and warm. The views were incredible and we even were able to ride the horses through the water at the beach. An unforgettable day!

It was a rainy day. We have mud boots and a rain jacket. They offered us a Duster to cover ourselves. But our gear was fine for the weather. In the tree area we didn’t really noticed the rain much. We got to the river and it quit raining while we were on the river.
