Activity Disclaimer

I have acknowledged that:

This activity involves paddling an inflatable packraft on a glacial lake. There are no rapids, but there is a chance that I could swim if my boat tips. I'll likely get wet at some point on this excursion, and we will go out rain or shine.

Tipping your Guide

Tipping makes up a large portion of a guide's income, allows them to pursue guiding as a sustainable career, and is extremely appreciated!

If you didn't leave a prepaid gratuity for your guide, that's ok - you can tip your guide by cash or credit card on the day of your trip with us.

A normal tip range is 10-20% of your trip total, but if you feel your guide went above and beyond, then the sky's the limit!

Additional Information

Our trips go out rain or shine! In the rare event that we have to cancel a trip due to dangerous conditions, you will be notified and receive a full refund.

You may want to print this confirmation for your reference, as cell phone reception can be spotty in the McCarthy area, and only Verizon cell service reliably works.

If you have any questions, please visit our FAQ page.
