This was the best time of our whole trip to Alaska. The guide ChrisP was fantastic. It was raining but we didn't care it was lots of fun. Would recommend to everyone.

Fun rafting in Denali

Quality tour. Our guide Corbin was excellent. The scenery is beautiful. The dry suit keeps you protected from the cold water.

What a ride!

Our first rafting trip and it was amazing. 1-1/2 hours on the river with a terrific guide Crispy. Explained everything well, helped with equipment, and made it a lasting memory. Highly recommend it, well worth the cost!

Would highly recommend rafting with New Wave Adventures!

What an incredible way to spend a couple hours on a beautiful day. Definitely more than enough rapids for a little adrenaline but not too extreme for a beginner like myself. The staff is incredible, informative, and hilarious the whole way! My guide Pat specifically blew me away with the geographical and local history of the areas we saw along the Nenana.
