Denali Park Heli-Hiking Adventure

Take a walk on the wild side.

Trek through the wild Alaskan backcountry with an experienced, local naturalist at your side. On this tour, you'll explore remote areas that are normally a full day's hike away. Lift off from our private riverside heliport and immediately take in the breathtaking bird's-eye view of the remote Alaskan wilderness. An exhilarating flight will bring you to our hiking area located just beyond the boundaries of Denali National Park. Once there, your guide will lead you on a gentle tailor-made trek above the tree line. Track animals, interpret the flora and fauna and if you're lucky - catch a glimpse of some of the spectacular local wildlife.
