Denali Highway Jeep - Emma and Dan were wonderful. The jeeps were in great condition. Emma, being the lead, took us to parts of the highway (off the highway) that we would never have seen otherwise. Viator is great too. We booked the EASY raft expedition with a different tour company and after we viewed the actual rafting trip onnthe river I realized i wouldnt be able to do it due to mediacl condition. It was not the "easy" they made it out to be and they wouldnt refund our money even days before. I will only use Viator from now on.

Denali is truly magnificent ❤️ 🫶 ♥️ - We were incredibly lucky to be able to enjoy this tour in DREAM WEATHER. On two consecutive days, we were able to admire Mt. McKinley without a single cloud. Spectacular!!! The tour was a very well-organized, truly special experience for my milestone birthday. Even the early departure time was not a problem and, in my eyes, even has advantages. But that is, as is well known, a matter of taste.. The vehicles are in TOP condition and perfect for the requirements. I can only recommend this tour to EVERYONE... It was simply great... My heartfelt thanks to the organization team.. ❤️

A Great Excursion on the Denali Highway - Had a terrific experience on our Jeep Excursion. Elisa & Danielle were excellent guides, keeping us engaged by sharing history, culture, and environmental details over the CBs to 8 guest jeeps. They were very focused on safety and ensuring we all got the most from the experience. We made several stops to enjoy the scenery and seek our wildlife.

Incredible Views, excellent guides - Do this tour! The views are amazing. Our guides were exceptional - Emma and Red were friendly and knowledgeable and made it so much fun! Not an over abundance of campy jokes like some tours, actual Denali and Alaska information with personality! Mirror Lake was my favorite spot. The water in the jeeps was so nice and the snacks provided were great- thanks! Binoculars were provided too! Bring mosquito spray! Unscented if you don’t want to offend everyone. Can’t say enough good about this company and experience.

Off in jeeps. - We had a wonderful time. The guides were great, the scenery beautiful, the company fun. The only bad thing was at one stop there were horrible mosquitoes,but the guides did offer bug spray and did warn us about them before we started and also again at the stop. I definitely would recommend this to anyone.

A bit disappointing - We had a rainy day, but the guides were very knowledgeable about anything they were asked. We were very disappointed about not seeing wildlife, especially when we were told that the tours that went through the park saw multiple sightings of bears, moose, and caribou. Lots of mosquitos at the stops made. If you want to know about trees, flowers, etc., this trip would have been good.

Good but not a top 5 experience - We booked this thinking it would be nice to not be in a crowded bus in the park, to have our own Jeep but if I could do it again I would do one of the bus or transit tours that travel within the park for the same amount of time (and less money) instead. We did see an eagle and mother and baby moose, which was great but otherwise you are just driving along an old highway for a long time. Other travels that did the East Fork transit or Wilderness tour in the park saw moose, bears, and more vistas. It’s good but not one of the top things to do. Of note the tour guides were awesome.

Just a ride down the road! - Waaayyyyy too expensive for just a drive down the road. We did between 12-20 tours while in Alaska and this was the one of least value!

Buyer Beware – One of the Biggest Tourist Traps in Denali - If you're considering this excursion, save your money and book something else. This was, without question, the biggest disappointment of our Alaska vacation. The description makes it sound like an exciting Jeep adventure through beautiful wilderness. In reality, we spent hours driving in a straight line on ordinary paved and gravel roads that anyone could drive ourselves. There was very little that felt exclusive or adventurous. To make matters worse, the Jeep we were assigned was filthy inside. It clearly had not been cleaned between tours. There were old food crumbs, dirt throughout the cabin, and even what appeared to be fingernail clippings left behind by previous passengers. For the premium price they charge, the vehicle should have been spotless. Instead, it felt neglected and unsanitary from the moment we climbed in. The trees blocked most of the views for the majority of the drive. Instead of breathtaking scenery, you're mostly looking at a wall of trees. The guides were another disappointment because they did not stop talking the entire time; nearly four hours of nonstop chatter with little opportunity to enjoy the quiet, ask questions, or simply take in Alaska's beauty. The three stops were equally underwhelming: Gasoline Lake: A man-made lake that wasn't worth stopping for. A turnaround stop: We were handed a small bag of chips as the advertised "snack." The views were average at best. An overlook: Typical scenery that didn't justify the long drive. Despite spending hours on the tour, we didn't see a single animal. I understand wildlife can't be guaranteed, but when there are no animals, no spectacular views, no off-road adventure, dirty vehicles, and nonstop talking from the guides, there's simply nothing left to justify the cost. This felt like paying a premium price to ride around on public roads in an unclean Jeep while listening to hours of unnecessary commentary. There are far better ways to spend your time and money in Denali. Rent a car, book a different excursion, or spend the money on one of the park's bus tours. Almost anything else will provide a better experience than this. I rarely leave negative reviews, but I genuinely wish someone had warned me before I booked this excursion. I would not recommend it to anyone.
