The Tundra Express Helicopter Tour takes off from the base conveniently & beautifully located just outside Denali National Park. This means this Helicopter tour is one of the best Denali Park excursions for immediate views! After a safety briefing, you’ll fly for approximately 10 minutes past soaring peaks & rolling tundra into the Alaskan backcountry before touching down. As you fly, keep an eye out for local wildlife including bears, moose, caribou, & Dall sheep. Touching down, take a moment to appreciate the clean mountain air, and spongy tundra beneath your feet. This unique landscape feels like nothing else! Your knowledgeable pilot is also your guide. They will tell you all about the local flora, fauna, and landscape. As you wander the area for approximately 15 minutes, take special note of the horizon line. You might just peak Denali or Mt. Deborah! After returning to the helicopter, you’ll have another short flight back to the helicopter base for a total flight time of 15 minutes.
