Excursion Overview

Raft down the expanse of the glacial-fed Talkeetna river!

See the best of the Talkeetna River in this exhilarating rafting tour. After a safety briefing from your guides, you will set off down the gorgeous glacial-fed Talkeetna River. From the river, the sights of Denali are even more breathtaking than you can imagine. You will be on the lookout for all kinds of amazing wildlife like bears, eagles, and even foxes.

After looking out for bear tracks and eagle nests, you will float past an old miner's cabin. As your float rolls to an end, you will join the mighty Susitna River as a finale. While wildlife sightings cannot be guaranteed, always keep an eye out!

What should I wear for this excursion?

Layers are always the best bet for any Alaskan adventure! Even on our warm and sunny days the weather can quickly change and become chilly! If you layer up you can adjust as quickly as our weather does! Your guide will provide rubber over boots, rain gear, and lifejackets.
