A wilderness guiding company specializing in Alaska adventures. We offer fully outfitted raft, canoe, backpack, and basecamp adventures in Gates of the Arctic National Park, the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and across arctic Alaska. For the best of Alaska adventure travel, choose Arctic Wild.

For nearly a decade now, Arctic Wild has provided seven to twelve day, fully outfitted Alaska adventures in the arctic wilderness. We have a full schedule of raft, canoe, backpack, and basecamp adventures to choose from in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, the Western Arctic, Gates of the Arctic National Park, and even a few trips in the subarctic, south of the Arctic Circle.

If you don’t see the Alaska adventure you are looking for, consider one of our custom trips, where you choose the dates, the place, and your company. Contact us, and we will help find the best trip for you.

Whether your interest is bird watching, hiking, photography, natural history, solitude, bona fide wilderness adventure or a mellow family vacation, the Brooks Range has it all. Our trips offer a balance among traveling, learning, and the free time necessary to find your own place in the arctic.

Here in the wilderness between the Brooks Range and the Arctic Ocean, the land is vast and untamed. Caribou may live and die without ever seeing a human; mountains remain unnamed. The arctic is a land of light, silence and stunning beauty. The arctic is wild.

Too-loo-uk River Guides is excited about 2008 and another season of river rafting adventures in the remote corners of Alaska. We spend our lives in the back country of Alaska, hiking, climbing, skiing and of course, rafting. We enjoy sharing with others our profound love for things truly wild and especially our passion for the river experience itself. For there is something inherently special about a rafting trip. Maybe it's the seemingly effortless way the river takes us into it's folds and carries us through the wilderness, maybe it's simply the magic of the water or the way the light dances on the ripples of its surface late in the day, or maybe it's the bonds river runners share after a few days plying the waters together or that wonderful anticipation for the unknown that lies around the next bend. Whatever it is, it has the power to revitalize us, to stir our inner passion for things wild and free and perhaps change us in ways we never thought possible, to make us laugh, sometimes at ourselves, and most of all, of course, to show us a heck of a great time!

From the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and Gates of the Arctic National Park in the Brooks Range to the mountains and glaciers of Wrangell-St. Elias National Park, ABEC's backpack and river trips are tailored to outdoor travelers who enjoy being active. Our adventures appeal to people who like to camp and hike, people who prefer to paddle rather than sit as a passenger in a rowed raft. All of our trips are in remote locations in Alaska's unparalleled wilderness.

Alaska's wilderness is unique on a global scale with its quiet beauty, vast untouched landscapes, and unaltered ecosystems containing natural populations of wildlife, birds and fish. ABEC's Alaska Adventures trip leaders are fiercely proud and protective of our state's wildlands; we enjoy "showing off" Alaska's natural beauty, and in return it is rewarding to us to see the wonder and appreciation in our companions' eyes.

If you are dreaming of a trip in Alaska and want to get beyond the cities, highways, cruise ships and bus tours, we hope you will consider joining ABEC on a backpack or river trip. We look forward to sharing with you some of our favorite places!

Spend your days behind a dogsled crossing frozen ponds, winding along river valleys and between snow-laden stands of spruce trees.
Come home each night to a modern log cabin, fabulous meals and a place to warm your feet by the fire as the northern lights erupt in a dazzling display overhead.
