Excellent trip, the guides were great and made everyone feel comfortable. Our guide, Chicago, had a great sense of humor and kept everyone in the raft laughing. We would definitely book with them again.

I didn't know what to expect going into my first time white water rafting but let me tell you, Chicago and his team were AWESOME!!! They made the experience one to remember. If you're ever in Denali go check out New Wave Adventures, you won't regret it!

An incredible experience from beginning to end! The guides are not only knowledgeable but also hilarious, making you feel like part of the family. They provide a full dry suit and helmet, ensuring you stay completely dry, with only the occasional splash. Everything is well-organized – I highly recommend purchasing foot warmers when you check in at the office. It’s a fantastic and enjoyable adventure to share with family and friends! I highly recommend it 100%.

Our guide, Mike, made the trip awesome! Good cold fun and a sense of Alaskan adventure. The drysuits worked great and the rapids were enough to be fun while being safe for all abilities. Even saw a moose and her two calves along the way! Highly recommended.

I have wanted to go on a rafting trip since I was a teenager and that was over forty years ago. My husband and I booked the Canyon Wave trip, with class 2, 3 and 4 rapids. We even got to see a class 5, which our guide kept us out of for safety's sake but got us close enough for a good look as we went by. Our guide Michael was a consummate professional, with nearly thirty years of experience rafting all over the world, so we were in great hands. You will be given the option to paddle or just ride along. Take the paddle. It was such a blast to feel a part of the experience. We even saw a moose with twin calves at the edge of the river! The whole process was simple from booking to finish. The picture package after the trip had excellent shots. We usually never buy the token tourist pics but bought these because they were such good quality and will remind us of the wonderful experience we had on the Nenana River. Be sure to dress warmly. I had on a t shirt, sweatshirt, two pairs of socks and jeans and still got very cold by the end. It was SO worth it! Michael and New Wave Adventures, thanks for making my childhood dream come true.

Very friendly knowledgeable and accommodating staff. Took the float trip. Our guide Michael was fantastic. Shared his great life experiences and very knowledgeable of the river. We were blessed with a picture perfect weather day and a private tour, first tour of the day. If you want to take your phone for pictures must have a waterproof cover. Heads up. All your personal gear is stored before leaving. Due to the nature of the tour you can’t take anything except a phone with a waterproof cover. Had a fantastic tour. Highly recommend.

Great staff. Great ride and definitely good value for the money. Booked through the hotel, but would recommend just going straight to the shop and saving a few bucks

Para mi que no me gusta estos deportes y solo lo hice para acompañar a mi esposo, me senti segura, protegida y tambien me diverti muchisimo. Mi guia J-money me cuido todo el tiempo y su humor muy divertido. Creo que lo volveria hacer 10/10 We had a great time, first time in any kind of white water, but J-money our guide was excellent at putting me at ease (the dad jokes help). Gorgeous day on the water, and no better way to get me feet wet (figuratively) in whitewater rafting.
