4 Hour Off-Trail Hiking Tour in Denali

Overview

Adventure. Authenticity. Exploration. This tour embodies these ideas. Leave the trails and cookie-cutter tours behind to go off-trail into the magical boreal forest just outside of Denali National Park.

Put on your future-shoes for a moment. Your feet sink into the deep moss that carpets the forest floor. It feels like walking on a memory foam mattress. Your guide hands you a handful wild blueberries. They’re tastier than the ones you bought at the store. The flavors wash over your tongue as your guide tells you about the nutritional benefits.

From the corner of your eye you spot movement! A snowshoe hare. It hasn’t lost its ivory-white winter coat yet. Your guide decides to change course and follow the hare. Why not? You’re not on a trail.

Now drag yourself back to the present. Is that snapshot something you want to experience on your Denali vacation? If so, you're the person we designed this tour for. The magic starts when you leave the trail.

What To Expect

Denali Park

We will pick you up from your hotel and take you to a section of boreal forest and tundra just outside Denali National Park. Your guide will take you on an off-trail walk through the forest, teaching you about the incredible ecosystems that make this area unique, as well as the fascinating cultural history of Denali. From the Athabaskan peoples to the trappers and survivalists who have cut their teeth on the Alaskan wilds over the last couple of centuries, you will be enthralled by the tales of cunning and perseverance that abound in this harsh landscape. Your guide will then drive you back to your hotel. The whole experience will take 3.5 - 4 hours.

Very cool and knowledge filled excursion. Jason and Derrick were our guides and both young men were very knowledgeable about the environment. We ate different plants and hiked off trail, very fun!

Guide was knowlegeable and friendly. Entire tour was 3 and 1/2 hours door to door and not the 4 hours advertised. Despite leaving early, our guide/driver did not pull over to observe a moose sighting. I thought the tour was significantly overpriced at $199. A $100 more appropriate for the time actually spent in nature which was about 2 and 1/2 hours.

Hi Todd! We are so so sorry that you didn't have the best tour with us. Because you didn't feel like your tour was exceptional, I have given you our guarantee - your money back plus $100. We have also taken your criticisms to heart. We have instituted a policy for guides to ask if our clients want to turn around for any and all moose sightings. I'm sorry that you didn't end up getting the full 4 hours. We had multiple drop offs that day, and the next one after you was far away. We want to get everyone back to their hotels by the tour's stated end time. People often have things planned after their tour, and we want to make sure they don't miss them. With that said, we've found a way to use a second driver to avoid these issues with distant pick ups and drop offs in the future. I know that none of that changes the fact that you took time out of your vacation with us and were disappointed. I sincerely hope the $100 on top of your refund will help make it right. And the knowledge that we have put systems in place to make sure no one else has the issues you had in the future. Thank you for helping us make our tours better!
