What People Are Saying

“So fun!! I felt very safe and enjoyed every minute. The rapids were very fun. My sister, who is a real chicken, even had a great time”.

— Emily W.

“Rafting has become one of my favorite summer activities, and Wookie from New Wave is THE BEST! I have gone on multiple rafting trips in Alaska and he is by far the most entertaining and knowledgeable raft guide I’ve had. I take everyone that visits us rafting and now request him every time. Thanks Wookie!”

— Sarah E.

Why choose us?

Customer Service

BEST TRIP EVERY TRIP is not our slogan, it is our motto, and we stand behind it. It is something that is discussed amongst our staff on every trip. To make sure we are all doing the best that we can to ensure the best possible experience for the guest. Our "show" is something that separates us from the rest. The staff gives colorful and informative speeches throughout the trip that people really enjoy and benefit from.

SAFETY

At NWA safety and operations go hand and hand. We implement our best operation practices with safety at the forefront, constantly evaluating and adjusting our plan to minimise risk. The goal of safety will be met by hiring the most qualified and experienced staff possible, thoroughly training all staff members and reviewing procedures and policies every season.

EQUIPMENT

We have all top of the line equipment, including a new technology on our dry suits called "glide skin" which keeps our guests dry without the uncomfortable choking feeling of a traditional latex gasket. We are currently the only company on the Nenana that offers these suits. All the equipment is checked and receives regular maintenance to ensure no failure.

Reservations

Reservations are strongly encouraged as trips can book quickly and some will sell-out in advance. We offer very competitive pricing and have a local Alaskan & military rates. Custom trip times are also available for groups of 15 or more.
