3 Hour Naturalist Walking Tour in Denali National Park

3 Hour Naturalist Walking Tour in Denali National Park

Overview

Stroll leisurely through the forest of Denali National Park. As you walk, listen to your guide talk about the plants, animals, ecology, geology, and more that make Denali unique. Taste the bounty of edible berries that pepper Denali's forests.

Your guide is a true expert. Not a mid-rate guide who knows a few fun facts. They're a Naturalist who's prepared to answer any question you throw at them. They're ready for wildlife encounters with bear spray and good training. They have a Wilderness First Responder certification, making them better prepared than an EMT for an emergency in the backcountry. See? I told you they were an expert.

This is your chance to experience Alaska up close and personal. Your chance to feel the peat moss that so few do. Taste the elusive and legendary cloudberries. This is more than a walk. It's an all expenses paid teleportation into the inner workings of Denali National Park.

OH! And we donate 5% to conservation. You're helping Denali by taking this tour!

My mom and I had a wonderful time hiking with and learning all kinds of things from our guide Jade! 10/10. Details below! Our hotel was outside the pickup area, so Sam from the company reached out the day before to set up a meeting spot and time, which worked out perfectly for everyone. Then, when we were in the van on our way to pick up others, I mentioned that my mom was very nervous about heights or cliffs, and Jade was so kind to accommodate my mom’s fears. He immediately changed his original planned route (which would have been over a couple bridges) to an equally beautiful trail that did not have any bridges or drop offs that would scare my mom. My mom and I loved learning about all the nature around us, from the trees, to the edible berries and plants, and the animal signs. Of course, wildlife sightings can’t be guaranteed, but we did see (and hear) plenty of squirrels and a ptarmigan! And it makes me smile every time I spot something I learned about on the trails I’ve hiked since!

This is so wonderful to hear, Jessica, thank you! We always want to make sure that our tours are as perfect for each guest as they can be, so it's great that Jade was quickly able to adapt the hike to your mom's needs. On top of that, we love to give you knowledge that you can bring away from your trip. The fact that you've utilized and enjoyed that information on trails you've hiked since is incredible! Thank you so much for the review! Aren't those ptarmigan just so cute and clueless?

We really enjoyed our guided walk with Jade. It was super interactive and immersive and we felt really safe walking with an expert. The walk was not strenuous and we had lots of stops to try berries and learn about native plants and trees. This was the best tour we did in the Denali/Fairbanks area.

Thank you for your review! We're stoked to hear that this was your favorite tour of (at least interior) Alaska. Being able to interact with the environment around you--and learn how the plants and animals of the ecosystem interact with each other is definitely an incredible experience. We hope you had as much fun on the rest of your trip!
