About Breakaway Adventures
We started Breakaway Adventures by offering fishing charters back in 1989. We started offering guided Anan Bear tours in the early 1990s and soon followed that with jet boat tours on the Stikine River. Soon we were offering tours to LeConte Glacier and by the mid-late 1990s included as an option going into Petersburg, Alaska, for an additional fee and time. We also offer many water taxi options ranging from trips between Wrangell and Petersburg, USFS Recreation Cabins or Skiff / Canoe / Kayak rentals with drop-offs. As you can see, we have had a long and great history of offering tours in Wrangell. Our wish is for you to have the best experience available and we are the company for you!
RATED AMONG THE TOP THINGS TO DO IN WRANGELL!
We had a great day out with Eric. Fantastic scenery, different stops to stretch our legs, great photo stops and a genial tour guide for the day. High recommend it to anyone wanting to visit the Stikine River. As a bonus we even made it to the hot tubs, which I guess is dependent on the height of the river on a given day.

We used their service to take us up river to a forest service cabin. They rented us a canoe, folding chairs, cooking gear, fishing gear. It made the stay at the cabin really memorable

Our guide James was very knowledgeable about the area. He provided us with a lot of information on the wildlife, glaciers and fishing on the river. He took the boat ashore in several places so we could check out the scenery and look for birds and wildlife prints. It was an excellent tour and well worth the money. The river was still frozen in areas, and I suggest dressing in layers for the excursion.

We went with this company to anan creek. It was me, my husband and our 17 month old. The owner took us out and he was super nice and very accommodating. He spoke very nicely to our kiddo and he seemed happy to have him around. It was a very small your so felt very special. We got to spend extra time out at anan and never felt rushed. The boat that he has is not the newest or fanciest but the personable experience is what we really liked! Thank you for one of our favorite things we did in our summer in Alaska.

My husband and I did both the Bears of Anan Experience and the LeConte Glacier tour last week; both exceeded our expectations. Spencer, who recently bought the company from the previous owner, piloted the boat on both tours. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and we felt we were in good hands. James was our guide at Anan (and came along with us to LeConte); he took great care in getting us from the boat landing to the viewing platform and, once we got there, was always available to answer questions, point things out to us, etc. If we ever visit Wrangell again, we will most definitely book another tour with Breakaway Adventures.

Eric and his crew couldn't have been better to work with. They provided water taxi service for us on a recent kayak trip and the trip couldn't have gone better from start to finish. They were excellent with pre-trip communication, responding to e-mails and phone calls within hours. They helped to get all the logistics of our trip sorted out before we arrived which allowed us to immediately depart on landing. Our shuttle driver even got us fresh king crab right off the boat to take to our cabin! All in all I couldn't recommend Breakaway highly enough for all your adventure needs in Wrangell.
