Meet the Guides

Copper Oar’s Alaska rafting guides and adventure experts know and love Alaska. We also love sharing this great place with an Alaska outfitter’s style and approach that is founded in safety and your absolute enjoyment. We invite you to meet a few of our alaska rafting guides here. We also suggest that you get to know them in their natural evironment: on a river or trail in the heart of the Alaskan wilderness!

Becca

Now she has no problem maneuvering a full loaded boat, and is just waiting to turn 18 and start guiding trips on her own!

Carleton

Carleton will always have that mellow, contagious grin on his face and a hat of some sort perched on his noggin.

Dale

He owns an overwhelming number of silly hats and has a penchant for riding icebergs.

Gaia

Gaia grew up in the Kennicott Valley and has spent her whole life rafting, hiking, sledding, skiing and dogsledding through the wilderness.

Howard

He continues to guide Alaska adventures out of his love for the wilderness and desire to share it with you.

Julia

Julia’s claim to fame is her amazing ability to stick an Oreo to her forehead and, using only the muscles in her face, get it into her mouth and eat it!

Norf

Norf is one of those all-around solid and competent guys that gives you the sense that he has been doing this all his life and there is nowhere he would be more comfortable. That's because he has, and there's not.

Tim

Tim's attention to detail, generosity in caring for people, and in-depth knowledge make him a world-class guide.

Wayne

Wayne's favorite river run - the headwaters of the Nile, where one rapid has been gauged at 1.2 million cubic feet per second!
