What You Can Expect
Denali National Park tour from Anchorage
Discover the splendor of Denali National Park on this full-day shore excursion from Anchorage. See its magnificent sights, including Mt McKinley (the English name for Denali), from the air and the ground, making for the ultimate Denali experience. Your 13-hour tour begins bright and early with a scenic 75-minute flight to the park. As your plane approaches Mt McKinley, the highest mountain in North America, watch for climbers on their way to the summit and enjoy aerial views of several glaciers.
When you've landed inside the park, board a comfortable bus to begin your tour. Denali National Park is home to a huge amount of Alaskan birds and mammals – some of the largest and most iconic being caribou, moose, Dall sheep and grizzly bears – and contains more than 6 million acres (2.4 million hectares) of Alaskan wilderness! During the bus portion of your day trip (six to eight hours, depending on traffic or animal sightings), your driver-guide will help you look for wildlife and answer any questions you have.
After the bus tour, you’ll have free time to explore on your own. Now that you have a familiarity of the area, use the park’s shuttles (included) to go on a hike or have a picnic (a box lunch with a sandwich and snacks is included). There are souvenir shops and snack shops throughout the park, as well.
After your day of sightseeing in Denali National Park, take a second flight back to Anchorage. This flight will take a different route than the first one, giving you new views of the area.
