Itinerary
Get ready for one wild ride down the Denali Highway. Your 4-hour excursion by Jeep starts at the time you picked at checkout — 7:30am, 5:30pm, or 6:30pm.
Don’t worry about bringing snacks or beverages with you. They’ll be provided for you, so your mind doesn’t have to be focused on anything besides having a good time.
Follow your guide along the 135-mile gravel road. If there’s more than one person in your car who wants to drive, don’t worry, everyone will get a chance. Your group can switch out drivers to make it fair.
Each Jeep is equipped with a CB radio for communicating with your guide, so unplanned stops can always be made. As you drive (or ride), make sure to keep an eye out for Alaskan wildlife that might be out. Also, spot some awesome views of the Alaska Range mountains and nearby glaciers.
Your guide will even surprise you occasionally by taking you off the beaten path using your Jeep's 4x4 power.

Very fun experience. We traveled with 4 in our jeep. Saw some beautiful Vista's that we would have not been able to experience. The guides were very knowledgeable and fun.
Very nice way to see the area. The guides were great and very informative. Highly recommend! The jeeps were in great shape and easy to drive.
This was our favorite excursion in Denali! The guides were perfect - gave interesting information mixed with quiet time to just enjoy the views. Great scenic stopping points. Many memories made.
Nice tour guides were informative but didnt talk too much. We had a BEAUTIFUL DAY no clouds and lots of sun. Nice equipment no problems.
Driving the jeep was fun, the host/guides were friendly and profesional. It was raining so no wildlife out to see. Overall good experience.
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.
We like it a lot , friendly people who helped us a lot, it’s a wonderful experience, the guides were excellent and helpful.
Unclear directions regarding the meeting point and time. We ended up missing our tour and wasting the money because the address and time listed on viator and sent through viator repeatedly was incorrect. When we checked in at the place and time indicated, we were told we were supposed to be at a meeting point 15 minutes away instead and they wouldn’t wait for us to go there immediately. And couldn’t accommodate a different time either. So we missed our jeep tour completely. This is my 8th tour through viator and everyone else send very clear meeting places and times. Very frustrating and quite a waste of money.
We had a great time on our Jeep Tour. We were lucky enough to see Denali! What a beautiful sight! The views along Denali Highway were incredible.
If you are traveling with another couple, I recommend each couple rent a Jeep.
The Jeeps were clean and new and fun to drive. The scenery was some of the best Denali had to offer. One part of the drive was dusty, which made it hard to see at times. However, our weather was good and we were able to see Denali on one of our stops. Would highly recommend this trip!
It was not what we expected, and overall not bad, but disappointing. The tour guides were two very knowledgeable young women, and we went a good distance. However, we were disappointed that we did not get to go off road and stayed in a caravan not stopping at many beautiful places for pictures. We were very spread out in the line so wildlife was not too visible because by the time we figured out where they were talking about and then got there the wildlife was long gone. We would not choose this again, but people who wanted a simpler line lead experience would enjoy it and the scenery.
Our guides were great. Very informative. Had a great time on the old Denali Highway. Learned a lot about the area.
We loved our tour with Rudy and Rick! It was extremely educational and also provided us with humor and a good time! 4 hours flew by fast!
The whole experience was great. Dan & Nick were our van drivers, leaders, navigators, hosts and narrators. They did a great job balancing safety and fun for us. The jeeps were much nicer than we expected; clean, worked well, included a bottled water for each of us and very high quality binoculars. Pick up from & return to our resort was smooth & effortless.
Nick and Dan were great tour guides making the tour informative and fun with several scenic stops along the Danali highway
Highly recommended
Nick and Rick are awesome. Very knowledgeable and keep you entertained. Beautiful scenery and good experience.
Well done! Clear communications. The guides were awesome. Fun drive. Great explanations of the scenery and wildlife.
We had a great time doing the Jeep Tour. From the moment we got picked up to the moment we were dropped off, the guides take care of you. The trip is well organized and offers a lot of opportunities to take pictures of the incredible views. We opted for the morning tour and we’re very glad we did as the sun came out and the weather was beautiful. The guides are full of knowledge and they keep the drive entertaining while telling you about the area. The Jeeps are fun to drive especially if you’ve never driven one before. This has been my favorite excursion and would highly recommend it. You won’t be disappointed. Book the morning tour, hopefully you’ll get lucky and see the sun too!
A lot of wasted time is built into this activity resulting in very little sight seeing and wildlife viewing. If you want to drive a jeep and take a few pictures it's ok but would not recommend if you are looking to experience the area and see wildlife for more then 30minutes.
This was a great way to drive the Denali highway! Our tour guides were fantastic! Lots of knowledge and stuff you wouldn’t get if you drove it alone. Super fun and well worth it. Rick and Nick were awesome, ask for them!
We had a great time. Loved driving our jeep Pumpkin Pie (my dad called it Enterprise). And with my brother and his family in a silver one, Big Bird, was what I heard. Rudy and I believe, Rick were fun, friendly, full of information and were great at getting good pictures for us. Driving these keeps in Denali was a definite treat and seeing Denali!!!! Wow. Thank you so much and I will definitely tell others about this adventure.
The guides provided great information about the area and had fun doing it. Beautiful views of the area.
Enjoyable tour guides.
Beautiful scenery.
Wish the Jeeps could travel somewhat slower to enable the wildlife search.
We thoroughly enjoyed this self-drive jeep excursion. Our guides, Rudy and Rick, offered interesting and entertaining commentary through the CBs into each jeep. We saw lakes, rivers, snow-capped mountains, wildflowers, and lots of native trees. We were also incredibly fortunate to see a mother moose with her extremely young calf and later a yearling moose that crossed the road right in front of us. We also had a sunny clear day that allowed us views of Denali for which our guides stopped and showed us where to get the best pictures. Truly a joyful morning!
Don and Bailey were awesome, thank you. It was a great morning. I will definitely recommend the trip to others.
I gave this excursion to stars because Riley and Nancy gave some fun facts along the way. The description of this adventure leads you to believe that you will be looking to site wildlife and driving on less traveled roads. In fact, we were on highway the whole time and never drove less than 40 miles an hour, which was impossible to scope out wildlife along our path. We all just drove in a caravan on two highways. *snooze*
The guides were absolutely fantastic! I loved the information they provided throughout the tour. It was a good combination of fun and facts. The scenery was amazing and on our way back we got to see Denali on full display!
This is a ride down a wide gravel road. You do not go 4 wheeling. You do not drive down twisting,turning, narrow roads. You do not cross little streams or climb steep hills. It is NOT WORTH THE MONEY.
Seeing a porcupine was the most memorable experience in this fairly boring 4+ hr excursion. The guides were very nice, knowledgeable and accommodating and the Jeeps were all in very good condition. Other than the aforementioned porcupine, no animals were seen. This obviously was not anyone’s fault but a fact nonetheless. The scenery was nice but our drive to and from Denali had better views. About an hour and a half in total was spent getting everything and everyone checked out and underway on paved roads to get to and from the “main attraction” which is Denali highway. We ventured about 20 miles out and back on this partially paved road. The narrative given by the guides over the CB radios was generally interesting but IMHO not worth the time or money. Of course one moose or bear would have been worth an additional 2 stars.
Falsely advertised as Jeep Adventure. Just a scenic drive over partly unpaved roads. An afternoon of seeing average Alaskan scenes. Nothing memorable. Waste of time. The only thing going for the excursion was the guides. They were knowledgeable, friendly and well organized.
