Itinerary
Leave from the designated hotel in the morning, and travel to the small town of Talkeetna, at the foot of Denali. Once you’ve arrived, head to the Denali National Park Talkeetna Ranger Station to get your official park stamp (about 15 min.), then get a look at Denali from a viewing platform (about 15 min.). You’ll also have time to freely explore the unique restaurants, art galleries, cafes, and antique-themed shops.
If you want to get a close look at Denali, you can choose to do an optional Denali Flightseeing Tour* (at additional expense, can be booked in advance) or Talkeetna Speedboat Tour* (at additional expense, can be booked in advance). Due to time constraints, it is only possible to choose one of these two activities.
Estimated return to Anchorage is between 7:00-7:30pm. At additional expense, you can upgrade to the Alaska Glass Dome Sightseeing Train* for the return journey. If you choose this option, you’ll arrive at the Anchorage train station at around 8pm, and your guide will pick you up and return you to the hotel.
Talkeetna:
This town was once an extremely lively center of gold rush activity, and today continues to showcase the spirit and style of pioneer Alaska. The main street is lined with small log cabins and antique storefronts. Talkeetna is not only the gateway to Denali and the setting-out point for mountaineers, it’s also a nature lover’s paradise.
Optional Activities:
Notes:
Price does not include guide tips.
Price already includes local taxes.
Most of these activities are greatly affected by the weather. If the activity is canceled for this reason, the fee will be refunded through the original payment channel.
Alaska Glass Dome Sightseeing Train* (Talkeetna – Anchorage, 5pm – 8pm, no accompanying guide)
The train is equipped with comfortable seats and a glass dome ceiling that allows for 180° views. You’ll personally experience the scenic Alaska rail route first established during the gold rush era over a hundred years ago, and have plenty of opportunity to photograph the beautiful scenery you pass.
Denali Flightseeing Tour* (About 1 to 1.5 hours roundtrip, English narration)
Ride in a small flightseeing plane, and get a bird’s-eye view of snow-covered Denali and the majestic Alaska Range. If weather conditions permit, you will have the opportunity to land on a glacier and personally experience being surrounded by the snowy mountains.
Talkeetna Speedboat Tour* (About 2 hours roundtrip, English narration)
Your boat captain will take you on a river-based tour, with views of the wilderness scenery on each bank. Here you are less than 100 km (about 60 miles) from Denali, the highest peak in North America. As you travel through the forests surrounding the Susitna River, immerse yourself in the wonders of nature and gaze at the high peak reaching into the sky. When the weather is clear, you’ll be blown away by the view. The tour includes a visit to an Alaska Native hunting camp.
