Paddle Sports by True North AK

The trip we took with Paddle Sports by True North was one of the highlights of our trip to Alaska. Perfect fit for families with children. Make sure to dreas for the trip. Glacier rivers are cold even in July! Our guide was great to work with! Highly recommend!

I got to go kayaking along the Knik River, having little previous experience with a kayak. I felt completely safe and comfortable riding with the group that was put together. Derek knew the equipment and area well.
Something to know about the trip is you will get wet. Which is great, but you will need the right gear depending on the season. We ran into strong winds and a rain jacket was great protection from the elements.
It was an incredible area and you get to see different sides of Alaska that you normally wouldn’t get a chance to see. It was an amazing adventure I would highly recommend!

Hands down made our Alaskan trip! Derek was so knowledgeable about the area, equipment and even taught me how to use the paddle board. (I’d never done it before.) Also, I LOVE supporting small local businesses and this one is the best! They are family run and are committed to making sure you have a wonderful experience. If you are on the fence about booking, do it! You won’t regret it!

I participated in the Feb women's snowshoeing excursion and had such a great experience! It was so refreshing being in nature with women and extra nice that the trail was already mapped out with muffins and hot cocoa at the trail head. I didn't have to plan or think about anything with Heather guiding us and all the supplies provided. Highly recommend!
