Previous Guests Rave About Muddy Water Adventures
If your traveling up to Alaska, it would be well worth your time to book a trip with Zack and muddy water adventures!! He was fun and very knowledgeable about the glaciers. His boat was great! You could either be out on the deck in the back or inside where you could look out big windows!
Zach is not just a great host and guide, but he’s also an extraordinary captain. You can tell he’s got a ton of experience, both as a dyed-in-the-wool local and also as a professional boatsman. Read full testimonial.
