Mahay’s Jetboat Adventures offers an unforgettable journey into Alaska’s pristine wilderness, nestled in the foothills of Denali, North America’s highest peak. From our base in Talkeetna, we provide fully narrated river tours that blend the state’s rugged past with its breathtaking present. Guests can choose from four unique jet boat adventures, each designed for all ages and featuring a short nature walk to the Dena’ina Encampment and an authentic trapper’s cabin. Every tour invites travelers to experience the unspoiled beauty, rich wildlife, and captivating landscapes that make Alaska truly extraordinary.

We proudly operate on the traditional lands of the Alaska Native Dena’ina people, in an area historically known as K’Dalkitnu, meaning “the river of plenty.” This region and the Susitna River watershed have long provided a bountiful harvest for the Dena’ina. We honor this heritage by respectfully sharing the stories, culture, and history of the land while encouraging our guests to connect with the living traditions of Alaska Native communities. Through every journey, we aim to offer not only adventure but also a deeper appreciation for the natural and cultural treasures of Talkeetna and its surroundings.
