Denali Park Bus Tours
Guided bus tours into Denali National Park combine storytelling of the area's rich history with information about the plants and animals thriving inside the park. Here you'll find info, availability, and reservations for all bus tours running within the park.
The Tundra Wilderness Tour is the classic Denali bus tour. This tour travels 42 miles along the Park Road to the East Fork River, a sweeping glacial wash and one of the park's most iconic landscapes. Wildlife sightings are quite common during this five-hour tour, with grizzlies, caribou, Dall sheep, and moose regularly spotted from the Park Road.
The Denali Natural History Tour travels 17 miles to Primrose Ridge. This tour's focus is on the history of the park, with two interpretive presentations along the way focusing the cultural traditions of the park's human inhabitants.
While Denali National Park's shuttle buses head into the park on a regular schedule, they do not offer the fascinating narratives delivered by professional drivers on park tours. If you are interested in learning more about the park's history and wildlife, a guided tour is the best choice.
We always recommend that guests plan at least two consecutive nights in Denali National Park to allow for a full day to explore the park. Park tours do fill up quickly, so reserve early. Buses pick up passengers at many Denali Park hotels, making it easy to access your tour. Guests on all tours should remember to bring a camera, water, snacks, warm clothing, and sturdy shoes for stops along the way.
