 Alaska's
Oldest Guiding Company
Our 35 years of experience in Alaska give us great advantages as an Alaskan outfitter. Alaska
Discovery started guided hiking, sea kayaking, canoeing, and rafting tours
in 1972 to bring public awareness to the special beauty of the Alaskan wilderness.
Alaska Discovery was the first to pioneer many new river and sea kayaking destinations
in Alaska. Over the years we have developed what we feel are some of the best
wilderness experiences available in Alaska. We would love to share our Alaska
with you!

 Exploring
the Best of Alaska's Wilderness
Our status as permit holders to many of Alaska's wilderness areas gives us more
options and flexibility than any other company. We hold the one of very few permits to guide
sea kayaking expeditions into Glacier Bay National Park, the majority of launch
dates on the Tatshenshini and Alsek Rivers, the majority of permit dates to visit
the Pack Creek Brown Bear Sanctuary, as well as permits in Arctic National Wildlife
Refuge, Gates of the Arctic National Park, Wrangell St. Elias World Heritage
Site, Tongass National Forest, and many others. We have chosen the absolutely
best areas for each of our trip offerings.

 The
Guides with Alaskan Expertise
We have a wonderful, experienced team of over 35 guides with vast international
guiding experience combined with the deepest knowledge of Alaska. We will guide
you to Alaska's wildest places, help you explore their mysteries, and keep you
laughing throughout it all. When not exploring the Alaskan wilderness, our guides
may also be seen in anything from magazines to movies, from international rafting
competitions to an anthropological seminar. It is quite an eclectic group! Meet
our guides.

 Small
Groups – Big Experiences
Sharing adventure with others makes it real. Our group size ranges from 8 to
12 guests. The wilderness areas we visit have strict regulations on group size.
With a small informal group we can lead people to discovery, rather than herding
them to the next destination. Our discussions allow for personal exchanges rather
than canned lectures. Alaska is a big country, but we travel light and small
and leave no trace behind. And, you may find some of your best memories of our
trips are of the friends you make along the way.

 The
Best Discoveries
Alaska Discovery, as the name implies, has learned the art of guiding as a way
of discovery. Our trips will both challenge you and spoil you. We invite you
to share these wonderful adventures with us and to learn why we love our home
in Alaska. You will not just be told about Alaska, you will discover it!
