Just a quick note of appreciation for the entire Source to Sea trip. The trip was awe inspiring, Danny, Dale and Jules were extraordinary, and the travel companions were a lot of fun. I feel so lucky to have been able to participate on such short notice. […] Thanks again for making an amazing journey possible.

We wanted to tell you straight away how much we have enjoyed the Source to the Sea trip. The trip was a tremendous success for us due to the skill, professionalism, knowledge, commitment and humor of Kevin and Carleton. We had a really fantastic time and learnt a great deal about the wilderness we travelled through from them both. We will remember them and the rest of the crew for a very long time. There were moments of seriousness and quietness which we enjoyed of course but it feels as if we laughed and sang our way down those marvelous rivers. Many many thanks.

Float the Copper River to view scenic and diverse landscapes. Hear the diverse sounds of slow then roiling water, the roar of calving glaciers, birds calling, and oars gently dripping water. And smell fresh air, smoke from a bon fire, the unique aroma of silver berry bushes in bloom. Excellent guides and great service help you learn and experience the Copper River.

We had the most amazing trip of our entire life. It was perfect…the itinerary, the lodges, great activities, amazing river. Leo’s aloha spirit made the trip. I’ve never been so relaxed in my life.

Copper Oar and St. Elias Alpine Guides exceeded my expectations. They helped me fulfill my dream of plein air painting on an extended wilderness trip. Their high level of professionalism, knowledge, and skill coupled with the right equipment led to a safe, comfortable trip.

I enjoyed my guides’ and fellow travelers good cheer, humor, companionship, not to mention the tasty meals. I am planning on returning for more adventures with St. Elias and Copper Oar.

Copper Oar gave us an unforgettable experience exploring the incredible Wrangell St Elias NP – a trip which I would have no hesitation flying halfway around the world for again. I can’t recommend them highly enough.
