My husband and I took the bus tour and loved it! I was worried about sitting in the bus for 8 hours but had no problem. We had enough restroom stops, too. Our driver/guide was very knowledgeable. He knew where to look for the animals and also the names of the flowers I was interested in. He had a professional... More

The tour took us from our cabins outside of the park, well above the tundra. Amazing to see grisslies, caribou, moose. A must see if you are ever in Alaska. More

This 8.5 hour, 124 mile round-trip, tour was excellent. The driver/guide was very knowledgeable about Denali National Park and all the wildlife and vegetation found there. If you want to see and photograph wildlife in the park, take this tour and NOT the half-day Natural History tour. You see much more on the TWT not only because the tour is... More

Wow! Wow! Wow! What an experience. We took the park shuttle out to the visitors center at Eilson Lake and LOVED it! We decided against the tour in case we wanted to get on and off but we never left our great bus driver all day!! Jeremy Thompson was super! Even though it wasn't a "tour" he really knew the... More

We were traveling in Alaska for about 1.5 weeks in September of 2011. We knew that we would have to be flexible with the weather but we were hopeful things would work out. At the start of the trip we had to cancel some water events on the coast due to rain and wind. We had a chance to visit... More

Can't say enough good things about this tour. Our guide has been doing this for 29 years and he was awesome. We saw grizzlies, Dahl sheep, and eagles. One feature that I really liked was the drop down screen in front of each seat. There was a camera outside of the bus, so when someone spotted some wildlife, our guide... More

I can't say I wanted to sit on a school bus for 9 hours but I never thought I'd see the animals I saw there either. Our tour guy was experienced, not very personable but got the job done. We saw, Dahl Sheep, Caribou, Bears and cubs, Fox, birds. They gave us a boxed lunch and plenty of bathroom breaks... More

We wanted to see as much of Denali National Park as we could but were a little concerned that the 9-hour Tundra Wilderness Tour on a school-type bus might be very tiring. I am so glad we decided to chance it. The hours flew by, and the bus was actually plenty comfortable--no restroom but plenty of restroom stops along the... More

Jo our driver and tour guide for the 7 hour trip was awesome. he was very knowledgeable with a good sense of humour to go with it. We saw lots of wildlife and when there wasn't any he kept us very entertained. Being so cold in the early morning (6.30am, mid summer) it was hard to keep the windows of... More
