Denali National Park & Preserve
Spanning over six million acres of Alaska’s interior wilderness, these preserved lands boast a diverse terrain of tundra, dense forests, and awe-inspiring glaciers that accommodate some of the most spectacular wildlife in the country. The heart of the park is Mount Denali, North America’s tallest mountain, reaching 20,320 feet and often shrouded in clouds. When conditions are favorable, you may catch a glimpse of its soaring peak – a bucket list experience of a lifetime. This area also draws in people from around the globe hoping to see Alaska’s “Big Five” which includes moose, caribou, grizzly bears, Dall sheep, and the elusive gray wolf.

Relax aboard a catamaran as our experienced captain fully narrates our journey and provides information on the area’s wildlife, history, and geology. View an active tidewater glacier and watch for calving, where chunks of glacial ice break off and crash into the water. If possible, the crew will pull a small floating ice chunk on board to admire the detail and beauty. Be sure to also keep your eye out for marine life sightings, such as orcas, humpback whales, Steller sea lions, harbor seals, puffins, eagles, and many species of seabirds.
Riverboat Discovery lll
Alaska’s history comes to life as we cruise down the Chena River. While aboard an authentic sternwheeler, we marvel at the “Wedding of the Waters” where the Chena and Tanana Rivers meet, observe an Alaskan bush pilot in action, and watch a champion sled dog demonstration from the kennels of the late Susan Butcher, four-time Iditarod winner. Along the way, we go ashore to be immersed in frontier living with a guided walking tour of a
recreated Athabascan Native camp to discover how the Athabascans skillfully survived for over 10,000 years.
