Learn to packraft with a local guide as you paddle the Kenai River past mountain scenery, lively rapids, and Alaska wilderness.
About this tour
Trade the road for the river on a six-hour packrafting adventure through Alaska’s wild Kenai country. The Kenai River winds beneath towering mountains, with lively rapids, broad views, and crisp glacial air along the way.
Meet your local guide and learn the basics of packrafting before setting out with your packraft, paddle, and safety gear. As you travel downstream, take in the rugged scenery and keep an eye out for wildlife. Hotel pickup and drop-off make getting to the adventure easier, while a drysuit, life vest, helmet, river boots, and drybag help outfit you for the day. Facilities are available before and after the backcountry portion, but there are no bathrooms along the route.
Choose this Seward packrafting tour for an active way to experience Alaska’s landscape from the water. Bring snacks and a reusable water bottle, and get ready to discover the Kenai River with a knowledgeable local guide.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 4.71 from 42 reviews. We place that rating among all GetYourGuide ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in Seward
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.7. Top 31% in Seward means it ranks in the top 31% of tours in Seward by this score.
