7 Denali National Park Tours Worth Booking

1.2.5-Hour Denali Wilderness ATV Adventure Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 917 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $145Our pick

Ride through Denali’s rugged backcountry on a guided ATV tour with mountain views, creek crossings, mud, wildlife chances, and hotel pickup.

“Fantastic adventure - get the single rider ATVs to earn some mud and dust. It’s well worth it. Jet and Aiden were our tour guides that shared their love of the land by showing us some beautiful views of Mt Healy, creeks, and beautiful aspen and spruce forests. The trails can be rough in spots but the ATVs can handle it, just listen and follow your guides. UTVs (beefed-up golf carts) are another popular option but our little group of ATVs had a bit more fun in my opinion ;) …a little dose of adrenaline while you cruise through the wilderness and bask in the beauty.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 643 reviews · 3 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $147

Review of Denali Canyon Wave rafting on the Nenana River, with rapids, drysuits, guides, pricing, preparation tips, and booking advice.

“Our guide Luke was awesome! He was funny but serious about safety. He talked with us throughout our river adventure sharing interesting stories about rafting and some of his other adventures. We went as a family (with 2 teen boys) and we all loved it. We also did a flight seeing tour which everyone raves about, but my boys said the rafting was hands down their favorite. We did the more intense one with class III & IV rapids and it was wild in the best possible way. My boys have not stopped talking about it!”
