My tour guide, Tim, was so knowledgeable about the history, flora and fauna in the area and was a true local, who shared about this own experience living in Alaska long-term. I learned so much and highly recommend this trip if you only have one day in the area and love nature. Not having to rent a car & drive made travel simple. I was able to learn about Denali at the park as well as walk a short way down a trail to enjoy the quiet and beauty. Lunch was at a local joint, so enjoy. The afternoon fat truck tour allowed you to get off the roads and see moose, tons of prints, the effects of glaciers, and learn about the local indigenous communities and culture - plus some fun turning donuts on the lake. I highly recommend this tour! The staff are caring and passionate about their community. Just do it!

What an amazing day. Tim and Joel made sure everyone had a great day and saw everything we wanted to see. If you’re wondering if you should take the tour, do it!!!!
