Your 2 hour trip will begin aboard the fifty passenger "Talkeetna Queen" or one of her 20 passenger little sister boats, as it whisks you into the heart of the wilderness in comfort. These are the most technologically advanced jetboats in Alaska designed to safely navigate rivers that were previously inaccessible.

As you travel ~twenty miles of river your Naturalist will talk about the history and rivers in the area, as well as information about Denali. You will have opportunities to view nesting bald eagles and beaver activity. Upon arriving at our Adventure site you will take a 1/4 mile leisurely nature walk where you will see a Dena'ina Encampment, who were the earliest indigenous settlers in the area.

You will also visit an authentic trapper’s cabin with its original furnishings and view how trappers lived in "Bush" Alaska at the turn of the century. Your experienced guide will display furs from the local area and demonstrate trapping methods. Naturalists will also acquaint you with the wildflowers and plants that grow in abundance along the river system and you will learn about the edible plants that were used by the Indigenous Peoples for cooking and medicines and some that are still eaten today.

Stand in the splendor of Denali and the great Alaska Range from a spectacular vantage point on the Susitna River! The folklore, artifacts and a panoramic view of Denali in the Alaska Range combine to make this an unforgettable and unique Alaskan river adventure.
