Portage Scenic Float

$79.00 – $159.00 per person

Enjoy a breathtaking and relaxing float down the Portage River.  View Hanging Glaciers, wildlife, and sit-back on this mellow Class I Scenic float.  Enhance your trip with a guided tour through the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, Catered Lunch also included with the add-on below.  Wildlife is guaranteed at the Wildlife Center, and there is no better tranquil way to experience Portage Valley than from a raft.  This tour has a 4 person minimum (see below for more information).

I love the Portage River. It’s a short float that packs a lot into a handful of river miles.  The many different glacier views are stunning, spawning salmon can be spotted at certain times of the summer, and there’s always beautiful wildflowers and a chance to see wildlife.  I’m always seeing something new.  – Liz Rocco- Chugach Adventures’ 2017 River Guide
