Travel beyond the usual Alaska visitor routes on a full-day journey into one of the state’s greatest road-accessible wilderness corridors. This is not a Denali National Park tour and does not enter the park. Instead, it follows the remote Denali Highway, far from the park crowds and into the open country most visitors never reach.
Featured by National Geographic among the world’s great drives, the Denali Highway offers a rare chance to experience Alaska’s untamed wilderness from relative comfort, with tundra, braided rivers, glacial valleys, distant glaciers, and sweeping views toward the Alaska Range.
Frequent stops for photos, wildlife viewing opportunities, and short walks let you step into the landscape while your local guide shares insight into the region’s geology, ecology, history, & wildlife.
This is a long full-day experience, including 135 miles on maintained gravel. Guests must be 15 or older. Groups are limited to just 6 guests for a more comfortable, relaxed experience.

5.00This trip exceeded our expectations! Ron, the guide/driver, is extremely knowledgeable of the landscape, foliage, wildlife and history of this area if Alaska. He kept us entertained the entire trip and made it go by extremely fast! Ron’s van was very clean and comfortable. It still has the “new car” smell. He accommodated us with hot tea, coffee and a variety of other drinks and snacks. I also loved that he used a PA system in the vehicle. We had a small group of 4 but we spread out so we all could take excellent pictures. You could hear him from any seat. Ron has thought out everything so you have the best experience!

5.00This tour is a great way to experience the beauty and scale of Interior Alaska. I particularly enjoyed that the tour follows a loop route, which gave me a real sense of just how vast the landscape is. The scenery was constantly changing throughout the day, and we were fortunate enough to see plenty of wildlife along the way. It made for a memorable trip! Ron was a fantastic guide. He made the drive look easy and shared lots of interesting information about the region and its history. I'd highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to experience some of Alaska's most breathtaking scenery.
