Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for this glacial lake and river rafting experience?

A: Yes, there is a minimum age requirement for this experience. Participants must be at least 12 years old to join the rafting trip. It's crucial for safety reasons, especially when dealing with Class III rapids. Younger participants will need a guardian to sign a waiver.

Q: What happens if the weather is bad on the day of the trip?

A: If the weather conditions are unsafe, the tour provider will likely reschedule or offer a full refund. They prioritize safety, especially since glacial water can get quite choppy. It’s a good idea to check their policy directly on their website when booking.

Q: What should I wear for the glacial rafting experience?

A: You’ll be provided with a drysuit, which is great for keeping warm and dry! Underneath, wear something comfortable like a swimsuit or moisture-wicking layers. It can also get chilly, so bring a pair of warm socks and maybe a hat to wear after. Don’t forget sunglasses and sunscreen!

Thinking of gifting the 4 Hr Kennicott Glacial Lake & River Raft Experience!

Hey everyone! I’m considering this rafting adventure in McCarthy, Alaska as a gift for my sister's birthday. She’s adventurous, but I’m worried about how cold the glacial water will be when they jump from the iceberg. Has anyone done this trip? How was the experience? Any tips on what she should bring?

Anyone else obsessed with jumping into the glacial waters?

Just got back from the Kennicott River rafting experience and OMG! Jumping off the iceberg was the highlight. The guides were super helpful and made sure everyone was ready for the rapids. If you're thinking about it as a gift, do it! It’s perfect for thrill-seekers.
