The Top 2 Wildlife Tours in Denali

In Denali, every turn reveals new landscapes and stories—forest trails, riverbanks, and deep-rooted traditions come together in every tour. Our selection brings you both into the wild and into Alaska’s cultural heritage.

Begin with the Oxbow Hiking Tour, a relaxed trail that winds two miles through forests and river views. This hike offers excellent opportunities to observe wildlife—such as moose, caribou, or even a distant bear—and to absorb the grandeur of the Alaska Range. 

Then shift gears to the Denali Husky Homestead Experience, where you’ll get up close to Alaska’s sled-dog culture. Watch dogs train or run on a treadmill, cuddle puppies, and learn from veteran mushers about the grit and passion behind the Iditarod. 

These tours blend natural beauty with authentic Alaskan heritage, giving visitors a richer, more meaningful connection to this dramatic landscape.
