    FAQs

    What should I wear for a hike in Alaska?

    Dress in warm, moisture-wicking layers and bring a rain jacket and sturdy shoes.


    Do I need to bring bear spray?

    No, your guide carries bear spray and is trained in its use.


    Will we see wildlife?

    Possibly; Alaska hosts moose, bears and birds, and your guide helps spot them safely.

    Trails suit all skill levels; share concerns and we will match a suitable route.


    What if it rains?

    The hike operates rain or shine, so pack a rain jacket and embrace the adventure.

    The guides here really make the experience. Luke Johnson gets called out repeatedly for being knowledgeable, funny, and fantastic with kids of all ages. J Money, Corbin, Tommy Salami, and others consistently earn praise for their professionalism, local knowledge, and ability to balance fun banter with genuine safety expertise. The front desk staff, including Tracy, also get recognition for being organized and welcoming from the booking stage onward. The operation itself runs smoothly, with quality dry suits that actually keep you dry, well-maintained equipment, and seamless logistics from hotel pickup to drop-off. They offer different river sections based on water levels and experience, with the Canyon Run being popular for those wanting more action and the Wilderness Wave perfect for families with younger kids or those preferring a calmer float. One group noted their trip was more of a float than expected, but most reviewers found their experience matched what they'd hoped for. The scenery along the Nenana River consistently impresses, and the guides share interesting details about the landscape, wildlife, and glaciers throughout the journey.

    We took New Wave Adventures for rafting trip through the canyon. Absolutely a wonderful whitewater rafting trip. From booking the trip all the way to the finish of the trip they were a top-notch adventure company. We enjoyed the instructors as well as our River guide Tommy salami. We enjoyed every minute of the trip. The information the views the river all just fantastic and to be able to end the rafting trip by being able to jump into a glacial fed River was a once in a lifetime opportunity.. if you are in Denali and are looking for a first-rate rafting trip class three four Rapids take the canyon trip with New Wave Adventures it'll be a memory you want soon forget.
