Denali Peak Sightseeing by Plane

1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutesFree Cancellation

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. Taste the bounty of edible berries that pepper Denali's forests. Your guide is a true expert. Not a mid-rate guide who knows a few fun facts. They're a Naturalist who's prepared to answer any question you throw at them. They're ready for wildlife encounters with bear spray and good training. They have a Wilderness First Responder certification, making them better prepared than an EMT for an emergency in the backcountry. See? I told you they were an expert. This is your chance to experience Alaska up close and personal. Your chance to feel the peat moss that so few do. Taste the elusive and legendary cloudberries. This is more than a walk. It's an all expenses paid teleportation into the inner workings of Denali National Park. OH! And we donate 5% to conservation. You're helping Denali by taking this tour!

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 Rafting Canyon Wave

Howard_W, Jul 2026

It's worth it!

The overall experience was great. We had 3 guides for a group of 5, which I'm sure was unusual. All three were great. Checking in and gearing up was a breeze. The van ride to/from the river was fine. The narration along the river was informative and littered with just the right amount of corny jokes. Highly recommend.

Denali with Seth

Our flight with Seth was incredible! The views were breathtaking! I was a bit nervous just for general purposes but once in the air and seeing Denali from the air it was like you could almost reach out and touch it. The history and stories that were provided made the excursion even more exciting. Yes it is a bit pricey but it was a once in a lifetime experience that made a lasting memory! Do IT!

Our guide, Don was delightful! He was extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic and personable. We learned a lot of fascinating facts about the beautiful scenery surrounding us and he entertained us with stories as we took in the stunning vistas in open areas as well as some wooded areas . An easy hike with a big “ pay off” !

3 Hour SHERP Tour: Denali Fat Truck Tours

Karen_S, Jul 2026

Absolutely a MUST do tour while in Denali

This was an excellent adventure. I highly recommend the SHERP Fat Tire Tour. This unique vehicle takes you over rough terrain and through water. If you one of the fortunate ones you may even see a moose or a bear. We even learned a little local geology. The tour guides were informative and very personable.

2.5-Hour Denali Wilderness ATV Adventure Tour

Brian_S, Jul 2026

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 Rafting Wilderness Wave

Rafting through Denali national Forest

My husband and I had a fantastic time on our rafting excursion in Denali National Park! We chose the Class II-III option, which turned out to be more of a scenic float with a few fun rapids rather than an adrenaline-filled adventure. It was a great way to take in Denali’s beautiful scenery while enjoying time on the river. Our guides were absolutely hilarious and kept everyone laughing from start to finish. Their energy, knowledge, and storytelling made the entire trip incredibly memorable and were a huge part of why we enjoyed it so much. If you’re trying to decide between the two rafting options, it really comes down to your adventure level. The Class II-III trip is perfect if you’re looking for a more relaxed, scenic experience. On this excursion, the guide does all the rowing, so you can sit back, enjoy the views, and take in the beauty of Denali. If you’re looking for a more exciting, hands-on rafting experience, I’d recommend choosing the Class III-IV trip instead. We had such a great time that we’d absolutely come back—and next time we’ll definitely opt for the Class III-IV rapids for a little more excitement! They supplied a wetsuit, PFD (life jacket), helmet, and river shoes. The only thing not included was gloves, but they had them available for purchase, or you can simply bring your own. Overall, this was a wonderful excursion with an outstanding guide team, beautiful scenery, and a well-organized operation. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful float or a bigger adrenaline rush, they have an option for you. We’d definitely recommend it!

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.

Denali ATV Trailblazer 3.5 Hour Tour

Dakota_E, Jun 2026

We had an amazing time...

We had an amazing time with Denali ATV Adventures! Our guides, Radiator and Rock Bottom, were fantastic—knowledgeable, fun, and made the entire experience both exciting and safe. They shared interesting facts about the area, kept the group entertained, and made sure everyone was comfortable throughout the ride. The scenery was incredible, and the ATV adventure was definitely one of the highlights of our Alaska trip. Highly recommend Denali ATV Adventures, especially if you get Radiator and Rock Bottom as your guides!
