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.

What are people saying about Denali National Park

Andita_S, Aug 2026

Wonderful first time White Water Rafting

My Denali highlight! The view from the river and the experience is unparalleled. It’s also my first time white water rafting and my raft guide, J-Money, was superb!! Can’t recommend this experience enough :):) if you are thinking of doing it, just book it! You won’t regret it

3 Hour SHERP Tour: Denali Fat Truck Tours

Cindy_S, Aug 2026

Excellent tour just Bad communication from Viator

It is better to book directly with Denali Fat Truck instead of Viator. We had a problem with over lapping tours and Viator takes too to communicate the information to the operators. I was able to contact Joel personally and he made arrangements to adjust our pickup time and place. The experience was exceptional. Our tour guide Stephan was knowledgeable and very personable. He worked well with the other driver to ensure everyone was getting the best experience

Alaskan Back Country Side by Side ATV Adventure with Meal

Rebecca_W, Aug 2026

Woohoo!

Georgie and Ryan were great guides! We had a lot of fun and learned about the dangers of Monkshood, which no one else in Alaska warned us about! The meal was beyond expectation in both amount and quality for a backcountry meal. We could have enjoyed the ride for many more hours! Thanks for a great time!

Denali Peak Sightseeing by Plane

Susan_S, Aug 2026

Denali flight was the best!

Best excursion of the trip! Worth every penny. The picked us up at our lodge, were on time, and everything went smoothly. The flight was something we’ll always remember. Bright sunny day, great pilot and closer to the mountain than I ever imagined. Everyone gets a window seat too.

Our guide Tupelo was incredible , highly skilled and great stories and information about the park and Alaska . The entire experience from check in to exit was very smooth and helpful . The company provided dry suits are clutch in these glacial waters . We saw Dall sheep on the hillside coming through the wilderness

Denali Highway Jeep Excursion

Ellen_H, Jul 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.

Denali ATV wilderness tour

Great ride overall, and guides were very knowledgable and friendly. It was very windy. Goggles or sunglasses are highly recommended, especially on the dirt trails, to protect your eyes from dust and debris. Would have been a great option to rent there or have a shield on the helmets given to wear there.

Horse-Drawn Covered Wagon Ride with Backcountry Dining

nancy_f, Jul 2026

Beautiful Endings!

It was so fun talking to Lauren (US) and Ketia. (Paris) Ketia did not even know where Alaska was located when she applied for her job. They have very sparse lodging but were so enthusiastic about their summer jobs. The wagon at Black Diamond Resort has blankets waiting for you and it goes rain or shine. The ride to the dinner is informative and interesting. Dinner is family style all you can eat with chicken, salmon, ribs and a stew for all. Food was ok but not the best. As we came back we were given choice if going down to lake in wagon or going to their petting zoo of goats, ducks, chickens, cows, etc. We chose lake and were not disappointed. 10 o’clock at night and Alaska gave us a full rainbow! Magnificent.!!! It had rained off and on all day. I’d recommend this just for the time to talk with staff experiencing Alaska as a summer jobs

Denali Park Zipline Adventure

Anup_R, Jul 2026

Absolutely fun ziplining....

Absolutely fun ziplining. They have a total of 6 ziplines with various heights and lengths which adds to the fun element. We had 2 guides who made extra sure we were safe before every zip line and every step( little bit of tree top is also included). Bonus 15 min ATV ride to and fro from the starting point to the zipline location. Would absolutely recommend this zipline in the Denali area.
