Denali Adventure Tours operates in Denali National Park and Preserve, Alaska, delivering a wide range of guided outdoor experiences that showcase Denali’s glaciers, rivers, and mountain vistas.
The company offers river adventures like the Scenic Wilderness Float on the Yanert Fork and Nenana Rivers and the Canyon Whitewater Trip — a 2-hour rafting run on the Nenana with over 10 Class III–IV rapids (including “Razorback” and “Royal Flush”) and both Oar Raft and Paddle Raft options.
Flightseeing options include the Denali Peak Experience with guaranteed window seats that approach within half a mile of Denali and glide over the Muldrow Glacier, plus a Denali Park Glacier Landing featuring a 15–20 minute glacier stop aboard a de Havilland Turbo Beaver. Helicopter offerings include Heli-Hiking to remote mountaintops and a Heli-Glacier Expedition with approximately 50 minutes of flight and 20 minutes on the Yanert Glacier.
Guided land options span a 2.5-hour Backcountry Walking Tour led by a naturalist to strenuous hikes like the Denali Interpretative Hike (5–6 miles with about 1,500 feet elevation gain) and a 4-hour Backcountry Wilderness Hike. An ATV Wilderness Adventure covers roughly 10 miles in about 1.5 hours.
All trips operate within Denali National Park and Preserve and are led by experienced guides familiar with local terrain, safety protocols, and interpretive natural history. Travelers should review age and fitness requirements for each trip (for example, Canyon Whitewater is suitable for ages 12 and up). Reservations are recommended for peak season to secure preferred dates and trip types.
