ABOUT DENALI RAFTING ADVENTURES

Family owned and operated since 1974, Denali Raft Adventures, Inc. is the original raft company on the Nenana River at the entrance of Denali National Park, Alaska. We offer Gore-Tex dry suits for the utmost in comfort, neoprene boots, Coast Guard approved lifejacket, and a guided 18ft raft which allows you to experience a sense of adventure and fun for an activity that has inherent risks.

In order to provide you an enjoyable raft trip we supply knowledgeable guides, rafts, as well as the following gear for your comfort and safety.

Dry suits provide the most comfortable rafting experience possible. Our drysuits come with either latex or neoprene gaskets at the neck, and wrists. All suits have latex socks to keep your feet dry. The only body part that should get wet will be your hands and face. Raft in comfort in and out of the water with a full range of movement. Dry suits were developed for people working and/or playing around freezing cold water providing you with a waterproof exterior layer to wear over your own insulating layers. We provide neoprene booties that slip over the latex sock allowing your feet to warm themselves with your own body heat. A Coast Guard approved Type V lifejacket is provided.
Please note: If you happen to have a latex allergy we will provide you a neoprene suit and ask that you wear thick socks to create a barrier between the latex socks and your skin.

To ensure your safety we take the following precautions:

  • There is a minimum of two boats per trip.
  • Each boat is equipped with a throw bag
  • The trip leader on each tour carries emergency and first aid supplies.
  • At least 1 or more certified Whitewater Rescue Technician on river trip at all times
  • Shuttle drivers monitor the trip via the highway when accessible

We promise to make every effort to provide you with the best possible adventure, full of laughter, and fun so that you can make a memory that will last a lifetime.
