There’s so many things to do in Alaska, sometimes it’s hard to make time for them all! But if you’re in Denali, the perfect half-day or full-day fun is on a rafting adventure. Get out on the Nenana River and immerse yourself in the true Alaskan wilderness!
Have you ever dreamed of running the Nenana River on the ultimate rafting adventure?
Denali Raft Adventures offers incredible full and half day floats at the skill level of your choosing. Whether you want a slower route or more rapids, there's a perfect excursion for you!
They offer two types of rafting options: an oar raft, or a paddle raft.
On the oar raft a guide will do all of the paddling for you. This is perfect for beginners! On the paddle raft an instructor will tell you what to do, and you will be expected to paddle!
Within the day or half day options, there's also two types of adventure you can choose from: white water or mild water.
The full day trip offers both beautiful scenery and some white water thrown in! The perfect option if you want a little bit of both.
The mild water is good for all skill levels.
There's quite a few scenic rafting trips, where wildlife spotting and enjoying the river are the main focus. On some trips you'll even stop for lunch!
The white water options are thrilling, and come in both half and full day options.
You'll get to experience something called the "Canyon Run," which is Class IV rapids through the Nenana River Gorge. True rapids, they even have names, like the "ice Worm" and the "Coffee Grinder!"
Whichever rafting adventure you choose, you're guaranteed to have a spectacular time.
Floating right on the edge of Denali National Park, and the largest wilderness designation in Alaska, is downright special! With wildlife and some of the most breathtaking scenery you'll see, its a peek into how the early settlers got to experience Alaska.
This is the perfect adventure for anyone wanting to get outside and experience the real Alaska!
