Our white water rafting experience with New Wave Adventures was amazing. I can now see why they get so many top notch reviews from their customers. They truly go out of the way to make your experience exceptional. Our party of 7 initially signed up to do both the Wilderness Run and the Canyon Wave but due to some personal issues with a couple in our party they ultimately could not do the trip and New Wave was very fair in how they handled the situation. The Canyon Wave run was the first white water rafting experience for the other 5 and it was such a blast. We were worried about the water temperature but it was not an issue. The dry suits protect you so well. The only thing that gets wet is your head and your hands and after one wave hits you see it is no big deal. Mady and Corbin were our guides for the day and both of them were fantastic. They did everything they could to make us comfortable before the rafting started and then did an amazing job on the river. It truly was an incredible experience. I would definitely go rafting with them again in the future.

We're glad you had a great time! I'm sure the people who couldn't make both trips were missed, but we are glad everyone at least got to get on the water. We're happy to hear that Corbin and Mady kept you comfortable and provided a memorable trip. Thanks for the great review!

We had a few hours to spare in Denali National park, and we had several choices including hiking, zip linining, biking. We chose the white water rafting - something we have not done before as a family of 2 adults and 12 and 14 yo. No prior experience. We shared the boat with another lder couple from New Jersey who were also great to paddle with. Chris P was our guide. He guided us through the rapids and encouraged us really well. We made it through all the rapids, got a bit wet but really had a great time. Thank you so much. We would definitely do it again and recommend to others.
