Details


Don't miss the Denali Highway, the #2 “Drive of a Lifetime” by National Geographic Traveler magazine! Once the gateway to Denali National Park, this 135-mile gravel road is surrounded by pristine nature & is a photographer’s paradise. Snow-capped mountains, icy glaciers & panoramic vistas flank the Denali Highway. During your guided & narrated 100+ mile round trip excursion, there are opportunities to see Denali & wildlife (both weather permitting).


New, 4-door, 4x4 Jeeps hug the dirt road, while comfortably seating four adults who can trade off driving. Each Jeep has a CB radio for communicating with the guide so stops can be made whenever desired. As driving the Denali Highway is prohibited by most rental vehicle companies, this exclusive excursion provides access to more of Alaska's spectacular scenery and wildlife & is a great alternative to crowded bus trips. Snacks & drinks provided. Tour length is approximately 4 hours.

IT'S SO WORTH IT

I wasn't aware of Denali Jeep Excursions. Our tour guides were Nancy and Abby. They were great! You may flinch at the price but don't! Just do it! It's so worth it. They give you your money's worth.

BY FAR THE BEST THING I'VE DONE

We just spent a beautiful afternoon and evening with Nancy and Riley. I've been to Alaska three times. I've take a lot of tours, done a lot of fun things. By FAR this was the best thing I've done. I also learned so much. It's well worth the money and I will do it again.
