Discover the wild heart of Alaska with MT Sobek, the leader in small-group adventure travel since 1969. Our expert-led rafting, hiking, and custom tours take you from the icy fjords of Glacier Bay and Kenai Fjords to the towering peaks of Denali and the remote Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
Whether you’re rafting legendary rivers like the Tatshenshini and Alsek, trekking across tundra, or kayaking beneath calving glaciers, our adventures reveal Alaska at its most authentic.

No wilderness on Earth compares to the scale and drama of Alaska.

FAQs About Alaska Adventure Tours
Alaska’s best adventures combine iconic landscapes with remote wilderness. MT Sobek’s top trips include hiking in Glacier Bay National Park, Kenai Fjords, and Denali, as well as rafting in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. These journeys offer glacier views, wildlife encounters, and opportunities to explore places few ever reach.

What Our Guests Are Saying
“There are few destinations with the wide open majesty of the Tatshenshini River. This is wild country with incredibly few fellow travelers. Our three guides were priceless with their depth of experience, competence and good humor. At no time did we feel rushed and our guides were flexible as necessary when faced with changes in weather and environment in remote Alaska. My wife and two daughters felt this trip might be beyond their comfort level. Our guides, Clint, Scott and Casey, seriously helped all three feel safe and secure on the water and in camp with the depth of their knowledge. I am very pleased with this whole experience and would do it again.” Mark R. MT Sobek Alaska Guest
“Experiencing Alaska is a must if you care about our planet—and experiencing the Hulahula will fill you with the awe, the power, and the infinite beauty of the natural world in a way few other landscapes can match. You’ll have the best river guides ever, a true wilderness expedition experience, and the best food for your body and your soul. Take this trip!” Marti S. MT Sobek Alaska Guest
