We had a great time at Drifters. We caught plenty of fish and our guides, Matt and Hunter were great. Jayden, our raft guide was awesome. Everyone we encountered at the lodge was incredibly friendly. Great accommodations. We will definitely be back.

Drifters has been around a long time. My wife and 3 kids (now adults, all starting their own families) have many memories of nights in their cabins, laughter by the fire pit, and drifts on the river for fishing and scenic raft trips. From their now-iconic photo, which has graced their shirts for decades, to the keel boats, guides, lodging and rafts, they are simply the best. Book with them; you will not regret it. 

Business response:

Andrew--thank you so much for this review! We are so honored to have long time guests such as yourself and your family who have made memories here at our lodge over a lifetime. Thank you again, and we can't wait to have you back again soon.

Drifter's Lodge was the highlight of our family's trip to AK this summer. The staff are all warm and kind. The property is wonderful and our time on the water with Capt Jon will go down as a memory my son and I will share forever 

Business response:

Garrett, thank you so much for these incredibly kind words! We are so glad that you and your son had such a wonderful and memorable experience with us. It's so special for us to know that you and your son had such a great day on the water--Jon loves what he does, and knowing that he was able to create a lasting memory for you and your son is exactly what makes our work so rewarding. We hope that one day you and your family will get the chance to come back and visit us again in Alaska for another adventure.

Did the 3 hour float down the Kenai. Hunter was the guide and was amazing. Would highly recommend this trip - even for us locals!

Fantastic experience, everyone was extremely friendly and the fishing was fantastic. We were even able to cash in on some early Silvers in the Kenai. Would highly recommend Austin or Cam for guides on walk and wade and floats. The accommodations were great, the only thing we wished we had was some general spices and items in the kitchenette. 

Business response:

We are so happy to hear you had such a good time with us here at Drifters! Thank you for sharing your experience. As well thank you for the feedback about the kitchenette, we will definitely take that into consideration. We hope to see you guys again soon!

The office staff was great at keeping in touch to make sure everything was going according to plan for the trip. The lodge was scenic and had a family like atmosphere to it. Every guide we had was fantastic and made sure we had a great time. The guides were very enthusiastic, encouraging, and fun to be around and talk to while fishing. Everyone that drove us all over the place was polite and patient with all of our questions. For me, there isn't any other place I would stay while fishing the Kenai Peninsula. 

Business response:

We're ecstatic to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Kenai River Drifter's Lodge! Our goal is to do everything we can to give our guests the trip of there dreams! Thank you for sharing your experience and kind words with us. We hope to see you again soon!
