Escape the ordinary with a fully private jetboat tour designed just for you and your group. Glide through remote glacial rivers, weave around icebergs, and soak in panoramic views of Alaska’s untouched wilderness—all with the flexibility to customize your pace, stops, and photo ops. Perfect for families, couples, or small groups seeking an intimate, crowd-free adventure.
Launch from our private dock and hold tight as your expert captain navigates the braided channels of the Copper River. Feel the adrenaline surge as you skim past towering icebergs, then slow to witness calving glaciers and wildlife like bald eagles and moose. Your private tour includes exclusive stops for hiking, glacier exploration, and gourmet riverside refreshments.
We handle every detail: top-tier jetboats, heated gear, and seasoned guides who know Alaska’s rivers like the back of their hand. Add optional extras like a glacier picnic, fishing stops, or extended exploration time—your adventure, your rules.
Start with a safety briefing and a thrilling ride upriver, where glacial valleys and snow-capped peaks frame your path. Disembark for a guided glacier hike (spikes provided), then unwind with hot cocoa beside iceberg-dotted lagoons. Keep cameras ready for bears, eagles, and Dall sheep along the banks.
Dress in warm, waterproof layers and arrive ready to embrace the elements. We supply all safety gear and dry bags for personal items. Tours run May–September, with flexible start times to match your schedule.
The jetboat ride to Spencer Glacier is absolutely thrilling and will give you stunning Insta-worthy photos. The jetboat is unique and incredible – we’ve done them in New Zealand but that was on normal depth rivers.

We did a jet boat trip with Andy to Spencer Glacier the following day to see the ice field and glacier up close. Very professional, fun, and memorable. Thanks, Andy! Highly recommend!
