The Top 2 Wildlife Tours in Denali

Denali offers a vast canvas for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike, blending rugged terrain, forested valleys, and abundant wildlife. Our Denali hiking and wildlife tours provide an immersive way to experience this wild region up close.

One standout option is the Oxbow Hiking Tour, a gentle, guided 2½-hour walk along the west bank of the Nenana River. Along the way, you’ll enjoy sweeping views of Mt. Fellows, Sugarloaf, and Mt. Healy, and possibly spot moose, caribou, or bears as your guide interprets the region’s flora, geology, and wildlife. 

Another unforgettable experience is the Denali Husky Homestead Experience, a 1.5-hour tour centered on Alaska’s storied mushing traditions. You’ll meet playful husky puppies, watch elite sled dogs in training, and hear stories from Iditarod mushers about the training and endurance behind the legendary race. 

Together, these tours offer a balanced blend of wilderness exploration and cultural tradition—each one a chance to connect with Denali’s wild heart.
