The company itself is the creation of Steven Moll, the founder and expedition leader who many will remember from the television series Dangerous Waters. After years of filming high-risk PWC crossings around the world, Moll and a handful of his fellow adventurers transitioned from cameras to clients — guiding riders through the same kind of rugged, remote terrain they once documented for viewers. Today, Dangerous Water Adventures (or DWA) runs multi-day tours that blend big exploration energy with top-tier safety and logistics.
Real Adventure, Not a Sightseeing Cruise
Dangerous Water Adventures isn’t your typical guided tour — it’s an expedition built by riders, for riders. From founder Steven Moll’s deep experience to the seasoned crew members who’ve spent years navigating these waters, DWA has turned adventure into an art form. For watercraft enthusiasts who want to test their limits while seeing Alaska the way few ever do, this is the trip of a lifetime waiting to be booked.
Each itinerary is designed for serious riders who want to go beyond typical guided tours. DWA handles the machines, gear, and drysuits, while riders tackle miles of open water, narrow channels, and glacial coves that few people — let alone PWC riders — ever get to experience. Weather dictates the routes, and every day brings something different. It’s part exploration, part endurance, and entirely unforgettable.
Their Great Alaskan Loop is the signature trip — a six-day circuit that starts and ends in Juneau, with multiple departures scheduled for 2026. Several dates have already sold out since booking opened last month. For those not ready for a full week in the wild, the company also offers shorter Juneau-based outings that deliver a serious taste of adventure on a smaller scale.
Short videos from their 2024 season — like this one and this one — capture the energy perfectly: small groups carving through ice-dotted water with glacier walls in the background, all while a support crew shadows them with cameras and spare gear. It’s equal parts scenic and hardcore.
For a closer look behind the operation, Moll recently posted a video update detailing the close of their 2025 season and the launch of 2026 bookings — and it’s clear this crew isn’t slowing down.
Booking Ahead for 2026
As of this week, the 2026 expeditions are open for reservations on the official site, with some already sold out. Each trip includes equipment, local guides, and a detailed safety briefing before launch. Prices vary by itinerary, but all share one common theme: access to the kind of unfiltered wilderness that most people only ever see on postcards.
