I did the Oar Rafting portion about a dozen years ago and thought that was amazing at the time. However, I didn't now how much more doing the paddle portion could add to this experience! Totally recommend doing the Paddle Rafting if you are in decent shape and want a thrill. Pat is the magician behind the sticks and made the trip even better with his knowledge of rafting and the area along with his humor. Can't forget to give my praise to Mudflap as his detailed preparation was very memorable.

Great raft trip through some great rapids. Our guide was very knowledgeable and an expert rafter. We even got to see a Lynx. That was very unique.
The wet suits work really well. So do not worry about the glacial temperature water.
Fun experience!!!

First rate experience. The guides are knowledgable, safety conscious, and very personable. We did both the scenic tour and the paddling tour. Very happy with both.

Really fun time with Chris as our guide. I have been on 15+ rafting trips around the country and would put Chris at the top of the list. Experienced, professional and completely focused on safety. He pulls all of this off while being very engaging and one of the funniest people you will ever meet. Great dude and a great trip.

Mudflap did a sensational job of guiding us through the river. Beautiful scenery and great rafting experience. Mudflap gave us thrills, but took safety very seriously. Couldn't ask for a better experience. Thank you.

We are seniors with no wild water experience. Would the Nenana Gorge trip be something we could/should do?
do your feet get wet?

Yes, I had one foot get wet. I didn’t mind because i had fresh socks and dry shoes for later

There will be four of us, all in our 70's, staying at Denali in June. When should we make reservations, and which rafting adventure would you recommend?

Assuming this is the same company we're discussing (Nenana Raft Adventures), they had 3 different Nenana River rafting excursions. The differences were the level of whitewater difficulty, depending upon what part of the river is traversed. I did the least difficult ride, which is fairly mild, not completely smooth, but enough wave action to make it a fun ride. You'd still come upon a few bumpy areas. They provide dry suits that keep your body completely dry but your head may get wet. If you are experienced whitewater raft enthusiasts, I would recommend doing one of the 2 more difficult rides.
This was a last-minute excursion for us, because our initial excursion was cancelled that morning. So we were a walk-on for this excursion; fortunately they still had space on the raft that was scheduled for that time. We rode the shuttle from Princess Denali Lodge to the tour company's office nearby, and purchased the excursion right there. We found out that buying directly from them was $15 pp cheaper than if we had purchased the excursion through Princess.
