Denali Park Nature Walk (3 Hours) w/Expert Naturalist
Description
Stroll leisurely through the forest of Denali National Park. As you walk, listen to your guide talk about the plants, animals, ecology, geology, and more that make Denali unique. Taste the bounty of edible berries that pepper Denali's forests. Your guide is a true expert. Not a mid-rate guide who knows a few fun facts. They're a Naturalist who's prepared to answer any question you throw at them. They're ready for wildlife encounters with bear spray and good training. They have a Wilderness First Responder certification, making them better prepared than an EMT for an emergency in the backcountry. See? I told you they were an expert. This is your chance to experience Alaska up close and personal. Your chance to feel the peat moss that so few do. Taste the elusive and legendary cloudberries. This is more than a walk. It's an all expenses paid teleportation into the inner workings of Denali National Park. OH! And we donate 5% to conservation. You're helping Denali by taking this tour!

We did a half day nature tour with Don. Started off by meeting two moose in the parking lot at Denali! Enjoyable walk in the wood learning about the forest flora and fauna. An enjoyable experience.
Beth gave an excellent nature tour of Denali. She was knowledgeable and also able to impart information in a clear and interesting way. Even our 9 year old grandson enjoyed it and learned a lot.
Beth was an excellent guide - very friendly and knowledgeable. The time flew by. I would recommend this tour highly.
Beth was excellent. Told us about everything we asked . I am 9 years old.
Great tour with a very pleasant and knowledgeable Guide Abby. Learned a lot about Denali Park vegetation, animals, and mountains. Many thanks to Abby!
We had a wonderful experience with our guide, Beth. She was great with our daughter and the other girls on our trip. Our three hour hike was in the Riley Creek area and we got great information about the plants and animals of the park.
Really nice leisurely walk through the beautiful forest with a very knowledgeable guide. Beth was awesome!
Adrian went above and beyond for our tour! He knew lots of facts about the plants and the area. Thank you, Adrian!
We had an amazing wilderness survival tour with Jade! The hike was beautiful, with incredible views, and the whole experience was both fun and educational. We learned the basics of wilderness survival, including how to start a fire and build a shelter, and Jade explained everything in a way that was easy to understand and really informative. What stood out most was how kind and supportive Jade was throughout the tour. When I took a fall, they immediately made sure I was okay and were incredibly helpful and encouraging. They were also very knowledgeable and had thoughtful, detailed answers to every question the group asked. If you're looking for a wilderness survival experience that's both scenic and hands-on, I highly recommend this tour!
Thank you for the (second) review Zoe! We are so happy to see you had such a grand time with Jade and were able to learn survival skills!
Very easy trail. Our guide Adrian did a great job of teaching us about the forest plants and animals. We had a wide age range in our small group (9 people) and he kept all entertained. He even brought along a Beaver skull he had found elsewhere.
Woohoo! Stoked to hear you enjoyed your time on trail with Adrian and he was able to show/teach you all about the local ecosystem. Thank you for the kidn review :)
