From its headwaters in the Brooks Range, Alaska's Hulahula River flows through rolling tundra and a breathtaking canyon before spilling onto the vast coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. This lush wildflower-dotted landscape is home to an outstanding variety of wildlife, including Dall sheep, musk oxen, grizzlies, and coastal birds. Experience the wonders of this swift-flowing river as you raft almost 100 miles on thrilling Class III-IV whitewater — perfect for paddling enthusiasts — and enjoy hiking and camping in pure Arctic wilderness.

Highlights:
  • Feel the expansive solitude while rafting, hiking and camping in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge
  • Head to the skies on spectacular bush flights across the wilderness of Northern Alaska
  • Float through the wildlife-rich Arctic coastal plains in the company of expert river guides

Important Trip Details:
This is a moderate to strenuous river rafting trip. You should be comfortable rafting up to 18 miles over the course of 4 hours per day for 7 days on class II - IV rapids. Previous river rafting experience is recommended, and you should be in good physical condition. There will be shorter (1-3 miles) and longer (4-5 miles) hiking options, possibly on rocky terrain or in areas with dense vegetation. Due to the remote nature of this trip, no vehicle support is available during our activities.
