Day Tours & Excursions
Raft a glacially fed river, roll over the tundra on an ATV, see endless wilderness on a flightseeing tour, or hop on a bus tour to spot Mt. McKinley, grizzly bears, moose, caribou, and more
Most independent travelers explore Denali by taking one of the tours, each of which covers varying lengths of the Park Road. You can compare different Park Road tours to see which is best for you, but keep in mind that you don’t have to stick with a bus. Some tour companies offer you the chance to rent bicycles and go solo—and plenty of people use the hop-on, hop-off Park Shuttle as the way to hike sections of the Park on their own. Some people book a stay at one of the lodges deep inside Denali, where you can hike, bicycle, canoe and experience the Park in comfort—but still largely off the grid.
