We did the Wilderness Wave with Chance in the morning. He was more than awesome! We were given the choices of paddling with him or just sit back and enjoy the ride. Having done white water rafting before, we opted to enjoyed the 11 miles’ scenery ride. Chance was very attentive to all of us. Telling us everything we need to know about the history of Denali and the Nenana River. He made sure we were all engaged in the activity even when we weren’t paddling. They are a fairly new company but with the experience I had with them, I wouldn’t know. This was definitely the highlight of our trip!

Fantastic! A really fun experience and brilliant guiding from Louis and Drew. Safe and adventurous, perfect level of rafting for beginners in a beautiful setting.

River rafting has been a bucket list item. Another operator cancelled our rafting excursion and we booked last minute with New Wave Adventures. They give you a wet suit that includes rubber footies that you put on like a baby’s onesie, then you slip on shoes they give you. After a bus ride to the drop off point, they check everyone’s life preservers and give a short safety talk. Our guide was very experienced and we felt safe the entire time, despite the river being pretty frothy due to snow melt. Highly recommend.
