Hello from Dry Bay, Alaska ! Alsek River Adventures is the transport service located here on the Alsek river, ready to assist in your transportation needs in Dry Bay. There is no longer a channel that will flow to take you to the river rafter campground and Dry Bay runway as there once was. Alsek River Adventures is permitted by the Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve to transport the Alsek river rafters from the Alsek river takeout to the River Rafter Campground area and the Dry Bay Runway. In addition to transport services we offer beach trips, eco tours of the Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve, fishing trips on the East river and we can arrange for you to take Alsek river sockeye salmon home with you.

We understand there are many moving parts when doing the Tatshenshini/Alsek river raft trip. We would like to help make this part of planning your trip one of the easiest ones. We have gathered some information for you that we feel may be helpful when needing our transport services.
