Traverse Alaska Rafting & Packrafting

Raft the pristine and scenic rivers in the Denali area with an expert, local guide. Traverse Alaska is a private, custom tour operator based in Denali that walks the fine line between offering travelers some structure, while also empowering them to enjoy Alaska on their own terms.

Rafting

The most popular water activity is river rafting, which can range from a scenic float to a more whitewater experience on a class III+ river. River rafting is a great activity for families, as various activity levels can participate in the trip, with everyone in the same boat, and your professional river guide navigating the river. For a full day of adventure, you can combine a trip on the river with hiking.

Packrafting

Traverse Alaska also offers packrafting (each person is paddling their own small boat), which is a day-and-a-half class, transitioning from flatwater to moving water during the class.

Multi-day Adventures and Custom Itineraries

Traverse Alaska can craft fully-guided custom itineraries and multi-day adventures to incorporate a variety of different activities you hope to experience during your Alaska adventure. Want a combination of backpacking and rafting between local lodges in the backcountry? Hoping to fly to a remote hiking destination and explore for a couple days? No matter the trip, Traverse Alaska will create an itinerary designed to satisfy your group’s appetite for adventure.
