Ultimate Wilderness

We had the most amazing trip of our entire life. It was perfect…the itinerary, the lodges, great activities, amazing river. Leo’s aloha spirit made the trip. I’ve never been so relaxed in my life.

If an amazing, Alaskan wilderness experience is what you seek, you won’t do better than Copper Oar. With my 10 and 8 year-old sons, we floated the Nizina River, hiked on the Kennicott Glacier and sea kayaked in the glacier-filled fjords and bays outside of Valdez. Every moment of the trip was memorable. The guides were well-qualified and knowledgeable. The trip was immaculately planned and executed. And, most important, the wilderness was magnificent.

Lucas is a fantastic guide. While I was new to pretty much everything on the trip (ice hiking and climbing, pack rafting, etc.), I always felt encouraged to reach beyond my comfort zone and try to accomplish more without ever feeling unsafe. He’s very thoughtful, always enthusiastic, and surprisingly personable for a White Sox fan.

Our guides were awesome! They are so personable and friendly. We wish they could be our guides all over Alaska!

I cannot think of grand enough words to describe the vacation you arranged for us. Alaska was absolutely beautiful and the plans you made allowed us to enjoy its full splendor. I hated to leave at the end of the journey. I felt as though I was leaving good friends behind. What a glorious trip!

The trip was perfect. Everyone was super, raft-mates and guides, the spectacular views and the experience. Couldn’t have asked for better.

We wanted to tell you straight away how much we have enjoyed the Source to the Sea trip. The trip was a tremendous success for us due to the skill, professionalism, knowledge, commitment and humor of Kevin and Carleton. We had a really fantastic time and learnt a great deal about the wilderness we travelled through from them both. We will remember them and the rest of the crew for a very long time. There were moments of seriousness and quietness which we enjoyed of course but it feels as if we laughed and sang our way down those marvelous rivers. Many many thanks.

It was all I expected and more. … Andy and Gaia were both super friendly and informative, and if all of the staff is just as awesome I would expect all of your trips to be just as great. You will see me again in the future!

Thank you so much for the Copper river trip. It was fabulous. The guides were the best I have ever been with. I’ve done a lot of river trips and this was the best!
