Ramona

Ramona Finnoff was highly recommended by others who have participated in her trips, and she has been the owner of ABEC's Alaska Adventures since 1980. The bush pilots who flew us in and out of the Arctic also had high praise for her, so we began our journey knowing that we had teamed up with the best.

When we asked Ramona the meaning of the letters ABEC, she smiled and said... 'Always Bring Extra Chocolate'. Good motto, Ramona!

Ramona is totally cool on the river and makes guiding the boat look effortless. She knows the Kongakut area well and led us on some incredible hikes.
Extraordinary
Trailblazer, rudder, chef, guide
That’s it, pretty much!
(a favorite phrase of Ramona’s)
