The most customer focused staff you will ever experience. This is the best place to see Alaska and it's scenic beauty. The fishing for Silvers was fantastic.

We will be com... read more

We had an absolutely incredible time on Drifter’s Lodge 12 mile,3 hour rafting trip in June. Our guide, Liam, was absolutely wonderful with our kids and very informative and personable. The owner picked us up in the van and was just as friendly and kind. The customer service we received was like none other - a postcard a few days later thanking us and a follow up call to be sure we were satisfied - on top of good service on the actual day. The views on this trip are beautiful, and it was a perfect evening for our family. Eve... read more

A beautiful place to visit and turn off the outside world! We did the all-inclusive and fished several different places. The staff - ALL of them- attentive, informative,friendly and go above and beyond to make sure your stay with them is the best. On the last day I did not want to go home! If you want a superb experience in Alaska, this is the place to stay!

So very glad we were able to help you turn off the outside world and have a great stay with us. We appreciate you mentioning the staff as they do not get enough recognition for the hard jobs they do often enough and very happy that you found them to be so helpful and friendly. The last day is a tough day for clients and ourselves as you guys have become like family to us and we will miss you until your next visit. Thanks for the wonderful review you wrote and we look forward to seeing you guys again.
