Denali View Raft Adventure is locally owned and operated, by Matt Kaso and Heather Collins. We are both born and raised in Alaska. Matt in Talkeetna and Heather in Juneau.
Matt began his river rafting career well before he graduated from High School eventually guiding whitewater trips on Eagle River, and overnighters for most of the summer on the Chulitna. His life long love affair with rivers eventually let him to help the original owners of Denali View Raft Adventures form their business. Matt has been a river guide for DVRA since the beginning.
Heather grew up in Juneau Alaska, where she started working in tourism when she was 17 as a State Capital Building tour guide, Princes Tours staff and eventually for TEMSCO Helicopters as a glacier guide. In 2005 she met Matt and he introduced her to river guiding and Talkeetna.

In 2011 we took over Denali View Raft Adventures and enjoy showing off our beautiful area thru the natural setting of the rivers. We look forward to meeting visitors and locals alike who jump at the chance to experience these awesome rivers. In the off season you can usually find us fly fishing for rainbows, skiing powder, climbing peaks, running rivers, or plotting some outdoor adventure!
