Kenai Riverside Lodge - Alaska Wildland Adventures - Cooper Landing, Alaska

river raft excursion is great. Our guide Kevin, was knowledgeable and informative. He was also very entertaining and provided us with a gourmet lunch that he set up on the bank of the river. The wildlife we encountered and the views of the land made an even more memorable experience. This excursion gave us something that we could never have gotten from a cruise or tour bus. Well worth the money

Our stay included a guided river rafting trip lead by Mia. She was very informative and really pleasant. The accommodations were wonderful to include a terrific fire pit area conducive to socializing with other guests. The grounds were stunning, loved our stay!

This place is unbelievable, the professionalism of all the staff is fantastic. Before booking I requested information from several outfitters, AWA replied much faster than any other. They were willing to customize our entire trip and make sure we got everything we were asking for. | When we arrived , we were met at the airport and taken to the resort where a group of the staff were waiting for us. Each group had their own guide to show us around the resort while others took our bags to our rooms. | The next morning we were served breakfast before heading out to the river. Our guides were extremely personable and at the end of the day they sat with us at dinner and talked about the day. Oh yea did I mention the food, from breakfast to dinner I don't ever remember eating better, if a 5 star restaurant could do better I would be surprised. We were able to meet the chef and he offered to send his recipes for anything we had, what a wonderful experience.| I cannot say enough about my experience other than I will save a lot of time the next time we go because I will only look at AWA as my destination.

This place is incredible. This was a great experience, coupled with our stay in Kenai Fjords. The cabins here were quite nice for our stay. The food was excellent, both dinner and breakfast. Really enjoyed the view along the Kenai River - the Bald Eagles were great to see. Enjoyed the fire pit and the sauna, especially after a dip in the river. Such incredible hospitality. The entire organization and staff take customer care and service to a new level. I don’t say this as hyperbole - they not only embrace it, as it is demonstrated throughout your experience. It must start at the top of the organization, and that is a testament to the entire company.

An absolutely amazing fishing trip booked through Alaska Wildland Adventures. 5 amazing days of fishing, fantastic accommodations, skilled and friendly guides, delicious food and the best staff. Couldn’t have asked for a better 60th birthday trip!!

As in Alaskan, I don’t visit places like this very often because I’m usually hanging out in the back of my RV.

A friend of ours invited us to share a cabin with them at this wonderful place, so we couldn’t refuse. 😄

This place and the staff were amazing! They obviously have their A game going on. What a great time we had with the cool guides and Alaskan scenery!

I don't know how anyone could not give a 5 star rating.

The staff was very professional and courteous from front desk, to kitchen, to the fishing guides. They handle everything from the time the time you arrive until their shuttle drops you back off at the hotel/airport.

They do offer many active other than fishing but we went there to fish the Kenai river for trout and salmon.

The fishing guides are very knowledgeable and professionally regardless of your skill level. We are more advanced fly fishers and they were able to meet our requests, their gear is quality from waders(Simms) to name brand fly rods and reels with lines and leaders in good working order.

If you come to fish for salmon during the salmon runs they will clean, prepare, vacuum seal, and freeze your fish and box it for shipping home with you.

They also provide you with the best breakfast buffet you will ever have, exceptional pack lunch, and gourmet 5 course dinners that are truly mouth watering. Seriously it was the best food of our entire vacation.

6 out of 5 stars we can't wait to go back.

Special thanks to our fishing guides, Madison, Rob, and Matt!

One of our most favorite vacations. Photos don’t do this place justice.

The family style meals and firepit mean that you actually get to know all of the other guests on site, and we met so many wonderful people as a result. Many people return here year after year.

The staff is kind, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable. The owner and company were respectful of the land and its Alaska Native history, and treated their employees well.

We went for a 10mi hike up Resurrection Pass and did a float trip in our 4-day visit. The weather was unusually warm and sunny the entire time! The food is SO GOOD.

We can’t wait to come back.
