About Us

Step into the current with Alaska Rainbow Adventures and you’re stepping into the real Alaska — not the polished lodge version, not the brochure fantasy. For more than three decades, we’ve run rivers the way they’re meant to be run: the Kanektok, Goodnews, Alagnak, Moraine, Arolik, and Togiak. Wild water. Wild fish. Country that doesn’t bend for anyone.

This whole thing started with one guide, Paul Hansen, chasing the kind of days that get under your skin and stay there. A mouse‑eat in the half‑light. A bend in the river no one else will see that day. A rainbow flashing in the sun like it owns the place. Those moments hit you in the ribs and remind you why you came north. That feeling is the reason we’re still out here.

Our trips are built the way Alaska demands: small groups, real wilderness, and gear that holds up when the weather decides to test you. Big tents you can stand in. Hot meals cooked beside the river. Guides who know every braid and every mood swing these waters can throw. With exclusive USFWS permits and miles of river to ourselves, every float is unhurried, unfiltered, and honest.

This isn’t a vacation.
This is the real deal — take it or leave it.

It’s a week where the noise drops away, the river calls the shots, and you remember what it feels like to be fully present in a place that doesn’t care about your inbox or your deadlines. You don’t just fish here — you feel the country in your bones.

Come see what’s waiting for you!
