The Experience
What your day looks like
Six Mile Creek is Alaska's premier whitewater rafting adventure, offering one of the wildest and most exhilarating trips in North America. It's also a NOVA-pioneered section, renowned worldwide in the river community. Prepare to get wet as this pristine wild creek runs through three consecutive canyons. Each canyon is more beautiful and more challenging than the last, with tight, narrow routes, steep slot drops, crashing waves, and deep, beautiful blue pools. It’s an awesome ride, all surrounded by lush green rainforest walls. A truly world-class section of whitewater that happens to be half-day accessible and gives a one-of-a-kind Alaskan adventure in just a few hours.
