Kantishna Wilderness Trails $549*/person ($534 with your Park Pass) -hosted by the Kantishna Roadhouse

Note that both of these tours are very similar… they’re just hosted by different lodges! You’ll be flying back out of the park in the afternoon via Kantishna Air either way. For more info on these tours, you can head to the lodges’ respective websites as well.

6:00AM – The tour departs from the Park entrance by bus. You will travel up close into the heart of Denali along the 93-mile Park road on the most comfortable buses in the Park. Experienced driver/guides will help you discover Alaska’s premier wildlife habitat, from the taiga forest to the tundra. The road’s last 30 miles may allow unobstructed views of Denali sightseeing.

NOON – Arrive at one of the lodges here in the heart of Denali for a hearty, home-cooked lunch. You can try your hand at gold panning, relax on the riverbank of Moose Creek, or you can participate in other guided Alaska activities.

3:00 PM – Return to the Park entrance via a 55-minute scenic fly-by which will take you to the north face of Denali, then traverse the expansive Muldrow Glacier and follow the spine of the magnificent Alaska Range to Denali Park’s train and bus depot. Shuttles are available to take you back to your accommodations.

* includes excise taxes and fees. Excursion price includes bus tour, lunch, lodge activities, and air transportation from Kantishna. Pilot and bus driver gratuities are not included and are appreciated. Ground transfers from the Denali Park entrance should be arranged with your lodge and may be extra.
