Denali Alaska Tours can be a great way to start or finish your Alaska cruise.
In fact, a trip to Denali national park makes for a wonderful vacation by itself.
The park is absolutely huge - three times the size of Yellowstone, or as big as the state of Massachusetts.
There is simply no way to see all of it in a day or even a month.
But there are many great tours and activities for you to participate in, no matter how long you are staying.
Here is a sampling of the activities you might want to consider, based on your length of stay in the park.
If you are visiting for half a day:
See a film about McKinley/Denali at the visitor center
Take the free shuttle along the Savage River and view wildlife.
See a dogsled demonstration.
Go on a guided natural history tour of the park.
Take a hike on one of the trails near the visitor center.
Take a shuttle bus ride deeper into the park.
If you are staying for a full day or two:
Go on a "tundra wilderness tour", which takes you as far as the Toklat River.
Visit the Murie Science Center and take part in an educational program.
Take a ranger-guided discovery hike or nature walk.
Go on a bus ride to Fish Creek or to Toklat.
If you are staying for a few days or longer:
Hike the McKinley Bar trail and see Wonder Lake.
Take another discovery hike - there are several different offerings.
Use the park shuttles to access hiking trails deeper within the park.
Go on a rafting excursion just outside the park boundary.
Check out companies offering flightseeing tours of Denali and the incredible glaciers - the best way to see the park!
Whether you are on a Denali Alaska tour that visits the park for just the day or if you are staying much longer, you are sure to enjoy this amazing place.
