  • Deceiving & Expensive

    Very deceiving. Although we saw lots of wildlife on the transit bus that took us through the park and our driver Kat was great we payed $400 to be picked up at hotel by a bus that could not go into park. We were never taken to the dog kennels which was on our itinerary. We could have left the visitors center by park bus for under $35 each. Paid a fortune for a partial trip. I have always had very good things to say about Viator, but this time really makes me think twice about using them again

    Fun one day adventure with a great guide. Hunter was knowledgeable and very entertaining. His recommendations were spot on.

    Best way to spend the day at Denali. Enjoyed dog sled demonstration. On this day the weather was perfect given a perfect view of Mt Denali.

    We got to see some of the fun things in the area and do some shopping! It was nice to get a picture in front of the Denali sign because that is not something we would normally bother to do.

    The bus picks you up from all local hotels/cabins in the Denali area. States is a Denali tour but it literally follows the free shuttle service route bringing you to the visitors center (free), kennel (free), shops (obviously free) and a pub (that isn’t covered). I am absolutely so confused as to how this was $100 pp when we saw absolutely nothing that isn’t included with every hotel shuttle. What is the point
