Incredible whitewater rafting in Denali , Alaska!

We had a great time rafting with our guide Sam. Whitewater rafting with class 2, 3, and 4 glacial waves coming down the canyon! What a thrill! The dry suits kept us completely dry and pretty warm. I highly recommend this rafting company and I highly recommend Sam!

Operator response

Thank you for the wonderful review! We're thrilled you had such an exciting ride through the canyon with Sam. It's great to hear the dry suits kept you warm and comfortable while you enjoyed the thrill of the rapids. Thanks for the recommendation, and we hope to see you back on the river again!

Sunny day makes the difference

Dress warm and pay attention to your guides. The hardest part is getting the dry suit on. But trust me, you want to wear it. Wool socks and a non-cotton pullover will help The guide Huffy, was great. Kept us safe but still had plenty of challenges

Operator response

Rafting

From beginning to finish, the staff took great care of us. We went through class 3 and 4 waves. It was fun! Huffy kept us safe and educated us on the surroundings. The dry suit definitely did its job! Wear heavy wool socks, they don’t get wet, just cold. Your face and hands will be cold. 🥶

Operator response

Thank you for the fantastic review! We're so glad you had a fun adventure and felt well taken care of from start to finish. Huffy will be thrilled to hear your kind words about keeping everyone safe while sharing information about the river and surrounding area. We're also happy the dry suit kept you dry through those Class III and IV rapids! Thanks for the great tip about the wool socks- they definitely help on chilly days.

Awesome trip down the Nenanna

Enjoyed our whitewater trip with Beau. He kept it light and fun but with the requisite focus on safety. We did it as a family of 5 with our three daughters ranging from 12-17 and had no issues. Would definitely do it again and recommend to others!

Operator response

We appreciate your recommendation and would love to welcome your family back for another whitewater adventure the next time you're in Denali!
