Tundra Express Helicopter Tour

If you're short on time but still want to experience the awe-inspiring beauty of the Alaskan backcountry, look no further than the Tundra Express. This incredible two-hour expedition is one of the best Denali park excursions that doesn't require you to dedicate an entire day to a single tour. Instead, you'll soar over the majestic mountains and unique landscapes of Denali National Park, taking in the snow-covered peaks and incredible rock formations. You'll even catch a glimpse of Denali itself if you're lucky! Though brief, this fantastic Denali park excursion will let you touch down in the middle of the Alaskan tundra, allowing you to experience the beauty of Denali in more ways than one.

Departing from a base conveniently located near Denali National Park, the Tundra Express offers one of the most spectacular Denali park excursions. After a brief safety briefing, you'll soar over majestic peaks and rolling tundra for approximately 10 minutes before touching down in the heart of the Alaskan backcountry. Keep an eye out for the region's iconic wildlife, including bears, moose, caribou, and Dall sheep. This unique landscape is like no other, and as your knowledgeable pilot and guide takes you through the terrain and shares fascinating facts about the local flora, fauna, and landscape, be sure to take plenty of pictures. Once your hike is complete, you'll board the helicopter for a short flight back to the base, touching down one final time outside the Denali National Park. From there, you'll be free to explore the area and make the most of your day.
