Not Your Typica Hiking Experience
Kathryn_J, Aug 2022
Alexis was our guide. She communicated via text about pick up times and gave updates when needed. The hike was great and very educational. We stopped many times along the trail learning about trees, berries, what causes scarring on the Aspen trees and the history of the area. We foraged for blueberries, crowberries, lingenberries, rose hips and cranberries. They were delicious!
The next day my husband and I walked from our hotel to the rail station. I found the berries along the way and, of course, put my new knowledge to the test and foraged along the way.
I highly recommend this tour!

Poor customer care.
Don_B, Aug 2022
Could not do it for medical reasons and they would not refund money. Poor customer service. Bad attitude.
Response from Host, Aug 2022
Our company policy allows for a full refund if cancelled 3 days before your tour. After this date we cannot guarantee a refund. Last minute cancellations via Trip Advisor have been an issue in the past so we stopped allowing cancellations if booked through Trip Advisor.
Great walk
Rick_E, Jul 2022
Our guide, Claudia, was extremely knowledgeable about the flora and fauna. She made the trip interesting, interactive and fun. I had hoped for more walking and less talking, but what we got was a very enjoyable experience.
Best "tour" experience while I was in Denali

Claire was very knowledgeable and since I was the only one on the walk that day, she adjusted her pace and amount of knowledge sharing to me. She was very responsive and a kind human being. Thank you Claire!

Don’t waste your money
Thomas_J, Jul 2022
This tour is a waste of money. The tour guide was very nice and informative. She was great. The tour however was a waste of $300.00. We basically did a mile each way walk through the forest to a lake. Turned around and walked back. The worst part was the path was right next to our Hotel and could have been done unguided like most people we saw along the trail and we could have put the $300 toward other things on out Bucket list once in a lifetime family Vacation. Again the guide was terrific
This issue is for sure with the Tour company.
Response from Host, Jul 2022
We are sorry you did not feel satisfied with this tour. In all of our advertising we do inform travelers this is a narrated, educational tour about the park on trails that are easily accessed by the public. We do not have access to special trails that the public does not have access to. Typically, we do not take groups staying in the Villages to the Triple Lakes Trail because of the close proximity of the hotel to the trailhead but unfortunately this season construction traffic has made transportation into the park much more difficult and we feel that people would prefer to be walking on trails rather than sitting in traffic for their tour.
Great walk
