Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- charlener2430 contributionsIce fishing is Awesome with TysonTyson was an awesome tour guide and we had a wonderful time…. He made us feel right at home … he would help us any way he could and we caught a lot of fish… 32 fish for a group of 11 …. I caught 15 of them … just bragging 😜Written 31 December 2024
- Yujie D0 contributionsNice and friendly guideIt was a great experience, our fishing guide was super friendly and enthusiastic. We did not get a ton of fish though, maybe due to the coldness. But it’s worth a try!Written 28 December 2024
- Relax428756403490 contributionsExcellent authentic dog mushing experienceOur party of 5 went to Goldstream Husky to experience an authentic dog mushing/sledding and they delivered! Hands on with the friendly dogs. The owner Andi was very informative, friendly and accommodating. They even give you extra clothes/boots to use to keep warm if needed. Recommend highly!Written 31 October 2024
- jenniferlI751LE0 contributionsGreat experience fishing for GreylingHusband and daughter had a great trip catching Greyling. Our daughter caught six and my husband got one! They provide waders to keep you dry and did some checks to see how skilled you were with casting etc. , both of them are skilled fishermen/women so they didn’t need a ton of extra help from the guide. The guide worked his tail off, making sure he got them to great places, helping with the net and capturing pictures etc.Written 24 September 2024
- jareddA962ME0 contributions10/10 - ExceptionalWe had an absolutely fantastic time on our guided raft fishing tour with Trenton! From start to finish, the experience was top-notch. Trenton was not only knowledgeable and skilled, but also super friendly and had some amazing stories, which made the day even better. We caught tons of Grayling on dry flies, and Trenton’s expertise really helped us maximize our time on the water. Whether you’re an experienced angler or just getting into it, he makes sure everyone has a great time. Highly recommend this tour if you’re looking for an unforgettable fishing experience. Can’t wait to come back and do it again!Written 16 September 2024
- 54deannel0 contributionsPerfect Fall Fishing Day on the ChenaOur guide Trenton gave us a memorable experience on the Chena River fishing for arctic grayling. As a Fairbanks local, Trenton shared his knowledge about the area including history, things to do, and helpful fishing techniques. Even after the trip, when we realized we left a personal item in the waders, Trenton and the office manager went out of their way to ensure the item was found and returned. We highly recommend Alaska River Tours!Written 5 September 2024
- 509laurah0 contributionsAwesome!We went on a Chena river rafting trip with Trenton Gilligan. It was awesome! The drive to the river was beautiful and Trenton was very knowledgeable and fun. He has obvious excitement for his job and his home. We caught HUGE Arctic greyling and saw bear tracks, tons of eagles, mergansers, mallards, sand pipers, and more. Thank you! This trip checked a bucket list for me!Written 15 August 2024
- yukonted0 contributionsArctic Grayling on the Chena RiverGreat day fishing and floating the Chena River. Our guide Greg was awesome at putting us on the fish. 4 of us caught several Arctic Grayling.Written 9 August 2024
- Bethperrysutherland0 contributionsLook no further- this is your group.Unforgettable experiences! I had a day and a half in Fairbanks and spent them with AK fishing Adventures. Couldn’t have asked for more. I went full day Pike fishing with Greg and it was amazing! He picked me up at my hotel and then we went on a gorgeous scenic drive with photo stops down the Dalton Hwy. And then an epic day out of Minto flats for Pike. He knew exactly where to be as the conditions changed and we caught Pike non stop. And he even gave me extra time on the water every time I asked for one more cast!! The next morning I went out with Tyson and Nate on river float and it was just as amazing. Beautiful river to float and we stopped to fish along the banks and sand bars. Moose and moose tracks everywhere and Eagles soaring overhead. If you want to disconnect from the crazy of life and recon with nature and fishing- this is your trip. The Grayling were playing hard to get that day- but I boated a few and saw more salmon cruise by us than I could count. Bottom line- this is your team. They know how to find the fish. They have the gear. They cater to their customers. You will love your trip And if fishing is slow- you will not find better guides or humans to be on a boat with. Fish on. Tight lines. Go get ‘emWritten 25 July 2024
- 333MarkH3330 contributionsToo Many $s for a Short (but very good) Fishing ExperienceIf I were to rate purely by # of fish caught this was a 5. As it was it A LOT of money for what was effectively 4.5 hours of fishing. Guide was attentive and pleasant but seemed eager to be done and go back to Fairbanks (from Delta Junction) as soon as justifiable. River was great. Day was just too short for the $s involved. Perhaps an outfitter in Delta Junction so you’re not paying for 5+ hours of travel time due to road construction. Again guide was more than fine.Written 18 July 2024
- missfiresioux20 contributionsFandamntastic Grayling Fishing, Thanks Tyson!The best fandamntastic fishing trip ever! Tyson picked us up on schedule, was talkative, friendly, knowledgeable and a great driver. He was an outstanding guide who put us on fish instantly. A great day. We’ll be back. Keep up the great work Tyson!Written 12 July 2024
- R2048JGjonh0 contributionsFull Day Fairbanks Fishing Float TripGreat day on the river. Lots of fish caught thanks to Trenton, the guide. I really appreciated them booking me on a solo trip as many guide services throughout Alaska would not.Written 2 July 2024
- Traveler4041330 contributionsWould like a refund.Very dissatisfied. I was in Fairbanks for only 7 days. I had some questions about the evening trip. I sent an email and called several times. It took 3 days before anyone responded. The guided texted the day before and said conditions on the river were not good for the trip I booked. He recommended a couple other trips but none fit my schedule. He later texted that his boss might know of a spot and would text me to set it up. I did not receive anything from the boss until after the trip was supposed to have started. I asked about a refund and have yet to hear anything back. For you fisherman out there, if one guide says the fishing is not good and another says it’s good…..would you go?Written 29 June 2024

I would definitely recommend Tyson to the fishing and aurora viewing experience. He was a super humorous guide that has good fishing and cooking skills. I would probably rate him the Gordon Ramsey of the fishing tour. He taught us how to drill fishing holes using a unique machine. Tyson also helped us catch a total amount of almost 20 fishes! There’s 1 trout and the rest are salmons! The salmons were really delicious and fresh. Even though I had no fishing experience, I still caught 4 fishes with his help.
After fishing, Tyson led us out to view the aurora, the aurora were great that night and was the most spectacular show I’ve seen in my whole life. He was also a really good camera man and helped us take a bunch of photos

We had an amazing time ice fishing! Our guide Trenton was friendly, informative and fun! Everyone caught at least 1 fish (most caught more) and Trenton cooked them up right in the cabin along with potatoes and salad. The cabin was warm and cozy and it was very easy to pop right outside to see the Aurora! I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting the area!

I thoroughly enjoyed our Aurora fishing trip with guide Tyson. He expertly cared for our group of 13, and the mesmerizing display of the northern lights in the middle of the night made it a truly worthwhile experience. Tyson's guidance and the magical atmosphere created lasting memories. Highly recommend!

I was rather disappointed with this tour, especially given the steep price. We were crammed into a small van like sardines, and the cabin on the ice was far too tight—12 people plus a guide in a space no larger than 8’ x 24’. The fishing setup felt cramped, with everyone shoulder to shoulder around 8” pre-drilled holes. While the guide was friendly and helpful, the culinary experience was underwhelming. For the cost, I’d recommend skipping this tour and opting for a daytime outdoor fishing experience instead.

My husband and I did the “Aurora Ice” fishing & dinner tour on our honeymoon to Alaska with Tyson and it was amazing!! We booked last minute and it ended up just being us and Tyson ice fishing and we had a blast!! Tyson was a fantastic tour guide and taught us so many new things about fishing (ice/other kinds), hunting, and Alaska. We were able to catch plenty of fish and had a delicious dinner. The tour was 5 hours but with the excitement of catching salmon and rainbow trout, amazing conversations, and DELICIOUS food, it flew by. We absolutely will be booking another tour with AK River Tours when we head back to Alaska in the summer and that is 100% due to our fantastic guide and what an amazing experience we had! If you’re thinking about booking with AK River Tours, DO IT!

Y’all! It was cold for these southern bones! But we were warmed by the nice wood fire stove in our hut on the frozen lake and enjoyed great company with our guides and the other guest! We chose the ice fishing and Aurora tour and were not disappointed! Our guides (Trenton and Hunter) were more than hospitable and even offered to show us another location effectively chasing Miss Aurora after our tour had ended! SUCH a great experience and really good and genuine hosts in the last frontier! PS Hunter was such a nice young man who had one of his first tours with us! He is going to great things with your company!

Tyson is a great tour for us. He is very patient and I can see that he really wants to make sure we enjoy our time. We did not catch a fish as we need to leave early but we were so lucky to see the northern light and Tyson help us take a great picture! Thank you!

Excellent location to view the Aurora. The indoor heated hut for ice fishing kept us warm and occupied in between the outdoor Aurora hunts. Tyson was a lovely guide - very knowledgeable, friendly and made the whole experience so relaxing and memorable.

I highly recommend Alaska Fishing and Rafting Adventure if you are coming to Fairbanks. Prior to arrival we had different tours planned which unfortunately were canceled at the last minute. Our travel agent got us in contact with Kane and she was amazing and got us even better tours to include dogsledding with Goldstream Huskies and ice fishing with aurora viewing and dinner which did not disappoint!! 😀 I definitely want to give a huge shout out to Hunter, he was an amazing guide and so enjoyable and beyond friendly which made our trips even better. Thank you for making our trip beyond our expectations!!

The guide was so kind and told us many interesting stories. The fishing was very easy even for my 7 years old kid. Directly cook dinner was delicious. The frozen lake was beautiful and feel isolated from all modern things. Plus, we could see the aurora due to the snow and thick clouds, but it would be really great place to see aurora.
