Half day on the Kenai river
Half Day Trip (PM) on July 16, 2022 • 2 adults

I booked online the day before. We had a fantastic trip. All the equipment was brand new and the guides were friendly, knowledgeable and great teachers. It was the BEST fishing day of my life. I have already recommended Wild Kenai adventures to multiple friends. I could not have not had a better day. They offered to flash freeze and ship the fish for us but we had a big group so we ate it fresh. The most DELICIOUS salmon I have ever eaten. If you want ever want to have a great time and catch a lot of fish call these guides NOW!! I picked them on the internet by chance and had a fantastic 4 hours of fishing for a very reasonable price.

Great time with Great people
Half Day Trip (AM) on August 17, 2022 • 4 adults • 1 child

Jason, Josh and Jeremy are three of the hardest working guys I've ever fished with. Boat and equipment are top notch, they were extremely prepared and we wrecked big silvers all day in less than ideal conditions! Brought my wife and daughter who are less experienced fishermen and they did a remarkable job getting them invloved and catching fish. Looking forward to fishing with these gents for years to come!!

    Fished salmon on the Kenai this morning and almost bagged our limit!! Josh and Jason were hands down the best guides out there. Very fun and energetic! They took the time to teach us techniques to get the fish on, and we’re patient when we lost them! There equipment and gear was new and up to date. Fishing the Kenai was a blast!! Highly, highly recommend!!
