Stroll leisurely through the forest of Denali National Park. As you walk, listen to your guide talk about the plants, animals, ecology, geology, and more that make Denali unique.

Stunning ridge lines and jaw-dropping views!

Do you like jaw-dropping views? A good workout? Learning about Denali? If you answered “no” to any of those questions, this tour isn’t for you. But if you answered yes… Ready? Leave the buses and boardwalks behind. Hike high into the Alaska Range. Feel the wind in your hair. As the views unfold, you can’t peel your eyes away. The rugged mountains rise around you like castles. The wide valleys stretch into the distance. The greens, reds, and blues of the tundra create a patchwork quilt unlike any other. Now pick your jaw back up! There’s more to see, and higher to go! Toil further up the steep ridge. Scramble over jagged rocks. Stroll through dips full of delicate wildflowers. Later in the season, enjoy the bounty of wild blueberries, lingonberries, currants, and more. So tell me - will you settle for the buses and boardwalks most people in Denali see? Or will you come with us and adventure into the Alaska Range, seeing views normally reserved for the Dall sheep? The choice is yours.

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.

What are people saying about Denali National Park

Kelli_T, Aug 2026

Our guide was extremely...

Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about plant life in the park and general area. It was interesting to learn about what was edible and what could be dangerous, and what changes are being seen due to warming trends. He also communicated well prior to the tour so you knew where to meet up and what to expect?

Horse-Drawn Covered Wagon Ride with Backcountry Dining

Melanie_L, Aug 2026

Unique experience near Denali

This is a one- of-a- kind activity that I recommend, if you like horses and wagons and a unique experience in beautiful Alaska. Etien and Sony led a great tour. The horses were majestic, and the scenery magnificent, with the first snow dusting the mountaintops. If you get a chance to book this unique tour, do it!

Denali Park Zipline Adventure

Brandy_W, Aug 2026

Suz and Luke rock!!

Suz and Luke were excellent guides! Knowledgeable and fun! Good at what they do and just great fun to be around. Our first zip line trip such a great group of people we met. Everyone was supportive and helped calm my fears. We didn’t want to leave, wish we could have booked a second time.

3 Hour SHERP Tour: Denali Fat Truck Tours

Debbie_D, Aug 2026

Book this tour!!!

We had an absolutely fantastic experience on this tour. This was such a fun and unique way to experience the Denali area. The SHERP itself was incredible. It was amazing to see what this vehicle could do and the terrain it could handle. We traveled through rugged areas that you would never be able to experience in a regular vehicle, which made the entire adventure exciting from beginning to end. The three-hour tour was the perfect amount of time and never felt rushed. Our guide was wonderful—friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience even more enjoyable. We learned about the area while still having plenty of time to enjoy the scenery, take pictures, and just have fun. The views were beautiful, and riding in the SHERP was an experience all by itself. Bonus we saw a moose and as an extra bonus they give you a complementary video at the end. If you’re visiting Denali or Healy, I highly recommend adding this tour to your itinerary. It’s something completely different from the typical Denali excursions. We made some wonderful memories and are so glad we booked it.

Alaskan Back Country Side by Side ATV Adventure with Meal

TROY_K, Aug 2026

Great trip with wonderful views and good food!

Excellent way to spend a few hours while in Denali! John our guide was accommodating and knowledgeable about the area. Side by sides handled the rocky terrain well. The dinner was fabulous and was more than either of us could handle. The views from the mountain top were spectacular and driving thru Dry Creek was a fun experience. You will have a great time. ( Note: This is not an adventure-fueled experience but a nice, bumpy ride through the valleys and mountain).

Best Day Ever!!

The ATV Adventures were SO MUCH FUN! We had such a great time and got to see so many beautiful sights along the way. You definitely get a little muddy, but that’s all part of the fun just dress appropriately! The people running the adventure were wonderful so friendly, enthusiastic, and genuinely seemed to love what they do. If you’re looking for an exciting adventure and a great way to see the area, I highly recommend doing this one!

Denali Rafting Wilderness Wave

Mark_T, Aug 2026

Great experience!

From pickup to our return back to the hotel went very smooth with being on time and organized. The staff is very friendly and helpful with very clear instructions. Our guide, J Money, was awesome! What I appreciated most was how he was attentive to each individual needs. If you wanted to help paddle you could but it was great to relax and enjoy the ride without a paddle. Highly recommend this company!

Denali Peak Sightseeing by Plane

Kimberly_M, Aug 2026

Nothing can compare to this view

Nothing can compare to seeing the highest peaks in Denali from above! I was a little scared at first, as we took off and headed into the park, but that was quickly replaced by feelings of awe and fascination. The park is immense and you can really see this from the air. We flew around & between the peaks, and over several glaciers not visible from the ground. Everyone working there was friendly and helpful. The pilot pointed out all the major sites and several groups of Dall sheep grazing way up high. It’s a must do & a great complement to the bus tour.

Denali Highway Jeep Excursion

Ellen_H, July 2026

Denali Highway Jeep

Emma and Dan were wonderful. The jeeps were in great condition. Emma, being the lead, took us to parts of the highway (off the highway) that we would never have seen otherwise. Viator is great too. We booked the EASY raft expedition with a different tour company and after we viewed the actual rafting trip onnthe river I realized i wouldnt be able to do it due to mediacl condition. It was not the "easy" they made it out to be and they wouldnt refund our money even days before. I will only use Viator from now on.
