Q&A
A: You'll need to wear something comfortable beneath the drysuit, like a swimsuit or athletic wear. The outfit will keep you warm and dry. Don't forget to bring water shoes or sandals if you want to wear your own, but they do provide river shoes too. Just keep in mind that you'll get wet, so it’s good to wear stuff that dries quickly!
A: Yes, the minimum age is generally around 8 years old for this rafting trip. Younger kids can go, but they'll need to be accompanied by an adult in the same raft. It's a pretty fun experience for families, just double-check with New Wave Adventures for their exact policies.
A: Weather can definitely impact the trip, but New Wave Adventures will notify you of any cancellations due to safety concerns. They usually reschedule or offer a full refund if the weather's too rough. Just keep an eye on forecasts and stay flexible with your plans!

Just booked the Denali Rafting Wilderness Wave experience! Any tips?
Hey everyone! I just booked the Denali Rafting Wilderness Wave with New Wave Adventures for next weekend, and I’m super pumped! I'm a bit nervous since I’ve never been rafting before. What should I expect? Any tips for a first-timer? Also, is the water really cold? Thanks!
Denali Rafting – Did it live up to the hype?
I went rafting on the Nenana River last month, and wow, it was epic! The views of Denali National Park are just incredible, and our guide was super knowledgeable. They gave us a great safety briefing and made the whole experience fun. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for an adventure! Just be ready to get wet!
