Excellent Sealion tour. Beautiful boat. Thanks for a perfect day!

We had a great trip with Zach to Etolin Island. He was easy to communicate with, has an awesome boat, and was very accommodating.

We had a great trip with Zach to Etolin Island. He was more than accommodating for our group, perfect boat for any weather and bigger groups -we will definitely be using his services for any future needs around the Wrangell area!

Experience of a lifetime – Bears catching salmon and Glacier calving! We thoroughly enjoyed our Muddy Waters Anan Wildlife Observatory and LeConte Glacier tours in August 2024 and highly recommend Zach and his crew to anyone planning a trip to Wrangell. This was our second trip to Anan - we had previously been there with Zach in 2017 and we were so impressed with that trip that we planned our entire 2024 Alaska itinerary around Zach’s availability – we were not disappointed! Zach’s new catamaran is the largest, fastest, quietest and most comfortable vessel we saw operating out of Wrangell and the rides to both Anan and LeConte were silky smooth, allowing us time to enjoy the spectacular scenery from the upper deck. Zach is a highly experienced skipper with detailed knowledge of the local conditions and is a wealth of information on the local wildlife and glacier and river systems. Nothing was too much trouble for Zach or his crew, they ensured everyone’s comfort and even charged our phones on the boat. Zach’s strong safety focus is one of the major reasons we chose him a second time – you want a highly experienced guide like Zach to lead you through the remote Anan Creek bear country. Zach thank you for yet another spectacular bucket list experience! The new Anan platform was great (fantastic close ups of bears catching salmon from the lower deck) and drifting below the towering LeConte glacier face was awe inspiring, especially when that large “shooter” of deep blue ice broke off.If we are fortunate enough to again travel to Alaska from distant Western Australia, more Muddy Water Adventures tours will be on our itinerary!

Incredible service Zack from Muddy Waters was wonderful. He showed up when he said he would, went above and beyond to accommodate our needs, was an exceptionally experienced and skilled boat driver through the low water, tricky current and wood filled parts of the River. He also was a wealth of natural history knowledge, there wasn’t a question we asked (we asked a lot) that he didn’t have some knowledge to share about. Don’t hesitate to book with him.

Stikine Return Zach was kind, helpful, professional and an incredible captain. I felt safe and well cared for as we navigated the Stikine on our return home to Canada. He was easy to book with and he was always available to answer any of my questions. Thank you so much Zach for an amazing end to our trip. Love from Canada!

Anan Wildlife Observatory The boat was comfortable and enclosed with a deck above. The tour guide and Zack the captain were a wealth of knowledge and helpful. We saw many bears and felt comfortable with the tour guide during the walk to the observatory. It was a great experience seeing the bears.

Awesome boat ride I was traveling for business with my family to and from a tricky location to travel to. Zach made it work out smoothly with his prompt email responses and recommended a great airplane charter for part of our travels. His responsiveness and suggestion made working out travel logistics in southeast Alaska a lot easier and all went smoothly. Our ride from Coffman Cove to Banana Point on the south end of Mitkof (we live in Petersburg) was not only great because of the fabulous weather but Zach’s boat is beautiful, spacious and very comfortable. He and his deckhand were helpful getting our baby and all her gear on and off the boat. If you’re unsure what you’re getting into by touring or traveling with Muddy Waters you are in for a pleasant surprise. We will travel with Muddy Waters any time we can.
