Absolutely the best! We did the Canyon Wave tour with Drew and it was an absolute blast! We felt safe the entire time and had a wonderful time navigating the white water under his expertise. From start to finish, the company is excellent! They picked us up at our hotel and dropped us off afterwards. They took time to explain the trip before departure and Drew kept us happy and safe throughout. A must do in Denali!!!

If you are coming to Denali and you want a great rafting adventure, New Wave Adventure is your outfitter. They all have long hair, so you know they are cool. But more than that they are fun and safe and encouraging of people of all abilities. I knew this would be a cool adventure when I was handed a pair of size 12 Buzz Lightyear sneakers to wear as part of my gear. Our guide, Owen, was fun, informative, and, despite having his heart broken at the Totem Inn, he captained our raft skillfully. You may not get the Buzz Lightyear sneakers but you will have a great adventure. Big thanks to Owen, Corbin, and Bryce/Chris Elliot. You made it a great finish my son and my Denali visit.

A wonderful experience with amazing guides. Pick-up was prompt, check in process was smooth and efficient. They provided dry suits - make sure you bring two pair of socks. The dry suits are like a onesie that has latex footies so you keep your socks on and they will feet dry. They give you shoes to put on over the footies built into the suit. Laithan was our guide and was very attentive to each person’s needs. My wife has shoulder issues and was a little worried about paddling. They gave us an option to have a boat with oars that is rowed by the guide. This allowed us to just ride along with no worries except making sure we didn’t fall out! The guides are friendly, funny and knowledgeable. Couldn’t have asked for better! If you decide to get in the water- it is a chilling experience you won’t forget!
