We had two wonderful trips with Captain Zach Taylor, Stikine River and Anan Creek. Zach grew up on the waters in and around Wrangell and he loves to share his knowledge and stories. He is a competent boat captain, wonderful storyteller, excellent host, and knowledgeable guide. I look forward to bringing friends and family to Wrangell so they can experience Zach’s tours.

Previous Guests Rave About Muddy Water Adventures
Took several excursions in Wrangell with different companies but Muddy Waters was the best. Zach Taylor’s boat was more comfortable. I truly felt that every seat had a good view. Zach himself was very engaging, answering my questions about our destination, Anan Bear Observatory, as well as insights on growing up and choosing to remain in Wrangell. Read full testimonial.
We had so much fun with them! Best guides and great boat. You won’t regret it!
