“We had a great time with Denali Raft Adventures. Our guides Chris and Dylan were so fun and clearly knew what they were doing. We chose the activity with rapids reaching level IV, but always felt safe and never scared. This is a testament to the paddling skill of the guide on our boat, Chris. The suits they have you wear are amazing! Great way to see the scenery from a different viewpoint. Overall, highly recommend!”
