Adventure. Authenticity. Exploration. This tour embodies these ideas. Leave the trails and cookie-cutter tours behind to go off-trail into the magical boreal forest just outside of Denali National Park. Put on your future-shoes for a moment. Your feet sink into the deep moss that carpets the forest floor. It feels like walking on a memory foam mattress. Your guide hands you a handful wild blueberries. They’re tastier than the ones you bought at the store. The flavors wash over your tongue as your guide tells you about the nutritional benefits. From the corner of your eye you spot movement! A snowshoe hare. It hasn’t lost its ivory-white winter coat yet. Your guide decides to change course and follow the hare. Why not? You’re not on a trail. Now drag yourself back to the present. Is that snapshot something you want to experience on your Denali vacation? If so, you're the person we designed this tour for. The magic starts when you leave the trail. We donate 5% to conservation.

So much fun!

We had an absolute blast on this tour with Cannon and Natalie. We saw a moose and porcupine in addition to the picturesque sites. The trail is bumpy and muddy, you’ll love it! We did a side by side atv and swapped drivers at the different stops. If you like fun, this is definitely worth doing in Denali!

Denali Dream Hike

Our hike guide through Denali was Beth . Beth was extremely knowledgeable, spoke at an audible pace and loudness. and was very friendly and easy to be with. We couldn't have asked for a better guide and better experience . Also, the tour company Northern Epics called us a couple of times to ask if we had any questions or concerns about the hike or about Alaska in general prior to our coming to Alaska. Excellent all around!!

Alaskan Back Country Side by Side ATV Adventure with Meal

Amanda_S, Jun 2026

Book it, it’s worth it.

Our family had Alaska on our bucket list for years, and this ATV tour was one of the best things we did the trip. If you’re on the fence about booking it, go for it! Caleb and Shane were awesome and really made the experience fit our family. My husband loves off-roading, so he appreciated that the trails were rugged and fun. I’m a much more cautious driver, and I never felt nervous or out of my comfort zone. The views were incredible, and we learned so much along the way. The stories and local knowledge kept both our 9-year-old and 13-year-old interested, which is win! The food was also amazing. We expected a simple lunch, but it was more like a delicious multi-course meal with some of the best mountain views we’ve ever seen.

If you love seeing nature, and want to experience the beauty of nature in Denali back country, this tour is perfect. We loved every minute of it.

Denali Peak Sightseeing by Plane

Randolph_H, May 2026

Denali Air is a great experience.

While the weather looked iffy we took off (8 passengers plus pilot) as we flew towards Denali we got above the clouds and the sites were awesome. Our pilot was the best and took us around mountain peaks and tremendous glaciers below. While the peak of Denali remained hidden in the clouds everything else was breath taking. This was a great experience and highly recommend.

Our guide was excellent—friendly and safety-focused. We stopped at four incredible vantage points including a dry creek bed, forested trails, and high valley overlooks with stunning views of the Alaska Range. The terrain was a fantastic mix of hills, mud, rocks and open scenic stretches. Highly recommend this for scenic value, fun pace, and great staff.
