Easy and informative rafting tour

Published on Sep, 2024

They provide great equipment to keep you safe and dry on the river. Our guide was really friendly and very informative. We went on the easier section of the river, and it was pretty chill, nothing scary at all. I think almost anyone can do it.

New Wave Adventures is a 5 star trip of a lifetime!

Fantastic! Highly recommend for your first time rafting. Our guide, Brice, was so informative and funny. If you are traveling to Denali Park, you must give them a call and sweet up a trip

Hanging tight into the rapids!

Published on Sep, 2024

Make no mistake: If you fall overboard from the raft in 34-degree water, you must get back into the raft quickly and hope someone on board will pull you in as that person falls backwards pulling you out of the water and on top of your rescuer! That was the message from the guide Beau for which we signed wavers. Even though this river trip is described as "mellow", there are some class 1 and 2 rapids and big "roll-overs" which the guide must navigate through. Compared with the Canyon raft trip, which is more "Rowdy" where I was told some 19 riders have gone overboard in the past (all successfully rescued), the wilderness wave was cold and wet, but tolerable, thanks to our very experienced and entertaining guide, Pat--with the long hair and beard and orange sunglasses. My wife and I felt perfectly safe with Pat at the helm and the oars, as we held on tightly and laughed at Pat's jokes! To emphasize my appreciation of Pat for bringing us back safely, I was very generous with a $50 dollar tip! This was the most exciting activity we did in Denali, and we highly recommend this more "mellow" river rafting trip.

Wonderful river rafting

Pat was a great leader ! Beautiful day on the river and great commentary . Learned A lot about life in Denali and About the River.

A wonderful fall afternoon

Published on Aug, 2024

A fantastic experience, some exhilarating Class II rapids, but mostly a great 11+ mile up the Nenana River on a beautiful fall afternoon. The foliage and Denali National Park background were a great setting and guide Chris P was helpful throughout. A Denali highlight.
