One of the many great things about booking any Alaska CruiseTour is that during your journey, you’ll have a chance to explore Denali National Park<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This impressive landscape covers more than 6 million acres of land and is home to North America’s tallest mountain, Mount McKinley<\/strong>, which stands at 20,320 feet. Hike the trails, go fly fishing for salmon or pan for gold, the options here are endless.<\/p>\n

Need to relax? Guided tours are a great way to see Denali<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you go on Denali Tundra Wilderness Tours<\/strong>, you’ll have the chance to spot elk, moose and other wildlife. During this seven- or nine-hour excursion, you and your guide will travel 60 miles into the park by comfortable coach bus. You will see spectacular views of the Plains of Murie<\/strong> and Mt. McKinley<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Want a shorter tour through Denali? Consider going on the Natural History Tour<\/strong>. You’ll meet your driver at the Wilderness Access Center and watch the award-winning movie “Across Time and Tundra.”<\/strong> Then your journey begins. In just four or five hours, your motor bus will ascend Government Hill<\/strong> so you can see the gorgeous Yanert Valley<\/strong> and Savage Cabin<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Looking for Adventure? See Denali by boat, raft or helicopter<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00b7 Jet Boat Tour<\/strong>. Go on a three-hour ride and cruise down the Nenana River<\/strong> with trappers, woodsman and hunters as your guides. Keep an eye out for wildlife that is in the area.<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Whitewater Rafting<\/strong>. If you’re an adrenaline junkie, then go on a whitewater rafting adventure. You’ll be provided with Gortex drysuits, state of-the-art rafts and knowledgeable and experienced leaders who will ensure your safety.<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Helicopter Tour<\/strong>. Fly around Mt. McKinley, towering glaciers and untouched backcountry. The aerial views of the park are breathtaking!<\/p>\n

Got energy to spare? Golf, mountain bike, fly fish or rent ATVs<\/strong><\/p>\n

Eager to learn? Immerse yourself in Alaska’s history in a covered wagon<\/strong><\/p>\n
