My family had the best time, and Josh was SUPER GREAT!!!!!! We did get to see a caribou, and the water was very cold and refreshing!!!! Better than a cup of coffee to wake you up. We will most definitely be coming back and maybe be a bit more adventurous.
This was the absolute highlight of our trip. Our guide, Nat, was great and took us on an amazing trip to see Denali and the peak of Mt. McKinley on a beautifully clear, sunny day. We were so close that you could see every detail of the breathtaking scenery. Do not hesitate to book this one!!
The jeeps were in great condition, and we were able to travel the Dalton Highway, which you can't do with most rentals. It was amazing. We loved our experience and would highly recommend it.
The whole family had an amazing time on this tour. We took turns driving and even saw a moose less than 5 feet away. Action-packed experience perfect for our teenage boys. Highly recommend.
The best tours for kids and families are:
Denali is the traditional name from the Alaska Native peoples for the mountain. In 2025, the name of the mountain was officially re-designated to Mount McKinley, though locals still call it Denali. The National Park & Preserve still carry the name Denali. Fun fact: the Park & Preserve area is larger than the entire state of New Jersey, so there is a lot to explore.
Alaska’s “Big 5” animals are bears, moose, caribou, Dall sheep, and wolves. You can find them all in the Denali National Park & Preserve.
The best tours for first time visitors are:
Summer in Denali generally runs from late May through early September, with average temperatures ranging from the low 30s to mid-70s Fahrenheit. Weather conditions can change quickly, and even summer months may occasionally bring cold temperatures or snow, so guests are encouraged to dress in layers for comfort throughout the day. A waterproof jacket with a hood is highly recommended, as June through August are typically the rainiest months in the Denali area.
Guests are encouraged to book Denali tours 3 to 6 months in advance to secure their preferred date and time, especially during the busy summer season from late May through early September.
