Soar to new heights on this intimate, 3-hour Discover Denali Flightseeing Tour. Featuring an experienced Alaska bush pilot who lives to share Alaska's most inaccessible and spectacularly-wild settings. One of our most popular tours!
Itinerary/Details
Depart Lake Hood, Anchorage's lively seaplane airport, traverse the flatlands across Cook Inlet, spotting for moose and beluga whales, depending on the time of year and weather, and follow the ragged spine of the Alaska Range with its massive walls of rock and ice to the crowning jewel, Mount McKinley. At a formidable 20,320 feet tall, Mt. McKinley is the centerpiece of Denali National Park. On a Denali flightseeing tour with Rust's, you will get the best view!
