Kluane National Park | Tatshenshini & Alsek Rivers

Alsek River, World’s Largest Non-Polar Ice Fields

Canadian River Expeditions

Imagine yourself floating and hiking through the world's largest non-polar ice cap and bio-preserve!

Overview

Join us on an incredible rafting journey through the world's largest bio-preserve and largest non-polar ice cap (the St Elias ice fields) down the Alsek River, voted by guides as the wildest river in North America.

The Alsek is renowned for large rapids, dramatic mountain valleys and glaciers, and is a true wilderness gem. Along the way, there are opportunities for world class hiking, intimate wildlife viewing (Kluane NP is home to the densest population of grizzly bears in North America!) and wilderness photography.

Friendly, knowledgeable, qualified guides, great cuisine, comfortable camping. The trip begins in Kluane National Park and UNESCO World Heritage Site, continues through Tatshenshini Provincial Park and ends in Glacier Bay National Park with the grand finale of Alsek Lake - where calving glaciers and colossal icebergs abound!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR THE TAT

We've had the Tatshenshini/Alsek River Expedition on our bucket lists for a long time and finally made the trip! As a whitewater rafting expedition company owner for decades, I am very impressed with this company's attention to operational efficiency and customer experience details. The quality of meals, camping sites and equipment, attention to safety, pace of the trip, contingency plans for weather and water levels, and the overall customer service is first-class. When considering a Tatshenshini/Alsek Expedition, we highly recommend Nahanni and Canadian River Expeditions!
