Alaska Fishing and Rafting Adventures is a Fairbanks- and Delta Junction–based outfitter that specializes in guided fishing and Arctic Circle tours across Interior Alaska. The company offers a comprehensive roster of experiences including overnight fly/spin fishing float trips, half- and full-day Chena River float trips, ice-fishing tours, trophy pike day expeditions, and multi-day Arctic Grayling fishing and camping.
Each trip includes expert guidance, quality gear, and logistical support such as hotel pickup on select routes. Popular offerings include the overnight float and camp experience on the Chena and Chatanika Rivers, fast-paced topwater pike outings, family-friendly half-day floats, and the signature 14-hour Arctic Circle drive along the James Dalton Highway with a Cross-the-Circle certificate.
Meals, snacks, and campsite hospitality are provided on many multi-day and overnight itineraries, while shorter trips focus on hands-on fishing instruction and local river ecology. Safety and local knowledge are emphasized on every itinerary: guides use proven float techniques on the Chena River, target Arctic Grayling and silver salmon at peak seasons, and locate prime Northern Pike waters for explosive topwater action.
The outfitter is an ideal choice for anglers seeking guided float fishing, families looking for accessible Alaska wildlife experiences, and visitors wanting a reliable Arctic Circle excursion from Fairbanks.
