Single & Multi-Day Guided Fishing Trips

Alaska River Adventures has fished the beautiful rivers and lakes of Alaska for 40 years. We provide full day river float fishing trips to just about anywhere on the Kenai Peninsula and half day trips on the Upper Kenai River. Fishing opportunities change depending on the season, but our highly experienced river trout and salmon fishing guides will take you where the fish are biting and the scenery is breathtaking. We put the Alaskan wilderness at your fingertips, with guided river fishing near you, whether you’re in Seward, Kenai or somewhere in between.

Every fishing trip is an exclusive boat

You pay per boat, not per person, so it's just your group and your guide (up to 4 anglers). Bringing a bigger crew? Call us at (907) 595-2000 and we'll get everyone on the water.

Kenai Wildlife Refuge

Salmon · Trout · Dolly Varden

A limited number of guides get to fish the most beautiful section of the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge. Flowing downstream from the world famous Russian River, the Kenai enters the refuge and winds through islands, gravel bars and back channels. It's the favorite place to fish for Cooper Landing locals.
