Alaska River Rafting

About Nenana Raft

Alaska! The Great Land. The Last Frontier home of grizzly bears, moose, caribou and Dall sheep. Visit Alaska and join Nenana Raft Adventures for raft trips and land tours exploring Alaska’s spectacular wilderness areas. From mild to wild, we run some of the most beautiful rivers in the world.

Raft Fun for All Ages! The Talkeetna River, Sixmile Creek and the Nenana River are our favorites. From challenging Class V whitewater to scenic wilderness runs we offer a range of trip options catering to all ages and ability levels.

Our raft trips range in length from two hours to two weeks. We offer a variety of multi-day expeditions on the Tana, Chulitna,Talkeetna and Copper Rivers. On these trips you’ll spend days on the river floating, hiking and exploring with your guides and your nights in camp with peace, solitude and delicious meals. For guests travelling on tighter schedules we offer several half day and full day raft trips in the Anchorage and Denali National Park areas.

Choose from peaceful floats, whitewater introductions or heart-stopping Class V descents. Exploring Alaska by raft utilizes a low impact means of travel through Alaska’s vast wilderness and riparian areas. Rafting maximizes your opportunities to experience Alaska while ensuring that we leave a light footprint.

With magnificent scenery, abundant meals and the chance to view wildlife, a raft trip is more than whitewater. It’s an opportunity for self-discovery. The chance to make new friendships and renew old ones. What you’ll discover is that friendships made around our campfires will last you a lifetime.

See you on the River!

Nenana Raft Adventures was the first raft company in interior Alaska to integrate the Swiftwater Rescue Technician program into its annual staff safety training program. Nenana Raft Adventures staff have participated in SRT Training every year we have been in business. In Denali, Nenana Raft Adventures is the only raft company certified by Rescue 3 International to instruct this course to our staff as well as the general public.

This Swiftwater Rescue Technician river rescue training program is used by search and rescue agencies throughout the United States. In addition to training in river rescue, our guides are trained in first aid and CPR, with many continuing their medical education further and attaining certification as Emergency Medical Technicians. We believe that safe raft trips result from aggressive training programs, experienced guides, proper equipment and good judgment. Your safety is always our primary concern.
