Looking for things to do in Talkeetna or a way to fill in your Alaska day trip? Welcome to Mahay’s Jet Boat Adventures, celebrating fifty years of tours on the braided river system shadowed by Denali. Some of the most popular activities in Talkeetna revolve around river cruises, historical curiosity, and the untamed wilderness. Whether you’re coming from the main city of Anchorage or looking to add to your itinerary for things to do near Talkeetna, Mahay’s is here for you! 

Mahay’s was founded in 1975 by Steve Mahay, who was the first person to travel completely through Devil’s Canyon by boat and survive, as well as one of only a handful of people that have succeeded in doing so! We now offer our most popular tour based off of his excursions and successes; the Devil’s Canyon Adventure, which is our only tour that takes you to the base of Devil’s Canyon for an exhilarating whitewater rapid experience.

We at Mahay’s are happy to provide family-friendly river adventures with local captains and deckhands that are extremely knowledgable and passionate about the land and its people. With three other tour options available throughout each day ranging in length and scenery, Mahay’s has something available for everyone looking for a unique, exciting and educational Talkeetna activity!
