We had no idea the level of commitment, training, and dedication it takes to lead a dog sledding team, especially in the famed thousand-mile treks of the Iditarod and Yukon Quest races. Jeff King (the "winningest musher in the world"), and his daughter, Tessa, were engaging and captivated our attention the entire time. This is a must-do when visiting Denali (even if you visit the Denali sled dog kennels--it's quite a different experience as Denali's dogs are primarily used for education and transportation during the winter months, while Jeff's dogs are true athletes and bred for speed). Afterwards, buy Jeff's autobiography so you can delve deeper into his fascinating life (near-death experiences in sub-zero temperatures and run-ins with wolves and caribou!).

The attention to detail and care that was given me as a client was matched by the experience and knowledge of my guide. For me, this included a night spent camping near a glacier, experiencing the scenic Alaskan Highway, hiking near Denali, and seeing caribou, bear, moose, eagles, and beavers along the way. For anyone not sure about what to do during their time in Alaska, I would definitely recommend Traverse Alaska. The staff is very helpful, and willing to tailor a trip that suits your desires and abilities. I was pleased to have experienced a "ultimate" Alaskan adventure while feeling safe and cared for--all while I was learning about this incredible land and its unique, majestic inhabitants." --

I've…read moreenjoyed almost every kind of tour all over the world and this was definitely top 10 out of 100 and maybe even top 5. First, the safety policy and procedures are flawless & while the guides love to have a great time, they take safety seriously as only a Master of their Craft can! Dev & Kyle worked together like a well oiled machine and had infectious attitudes & passion for life! When I write words of praise for Dev & Kyle, you might read it as just trite sayings but you can review my past reviews and you will see some very direct & critical comments so my words of praise were 100% earned by Dev & Kyle. The course was fun & challenging so if you are scared of heights...this is the perfect fit to face your fears and overcome them with professionals! I taught mountaineering my Summer before Senior year of Military High-school & was insanely impressed with their attention to detail, safety protocol, communications and redundancies. I gave the ATV tour some critical remarks and stand by them but equally stand by my words of praise for this crew! We are a family of six and brought our four kids with us: 8-14. The guides were just superb - even the other guide we interacted with was a ball of positive fire! It's a great group of people and while the lines aren't the tallest or the longest or the highest...it was by far the most unique & diverse and definitely the longest experience to date. One recommendation - It would be great if the operator provided bug spray as a relatively low cost comfort but definitely bring your own!

Upon arrival at Denali, I contacted  Denali Zipline Adventures and stated that my 72 year old wife and I, "did not feel safe" participating in the zip line experience because of the advisory.  I spoke with Kelsey the manager and expressed our concerns.  Kelsey stated that they were very experienced and were confident that it would be Ok. I reiterated my concerns and the feeling that we "did not feel safe" participating on that day. Kelsey refused to accommodate us and stated that we could do the excursion the following day.  That was not possible because the wind advisory extended to the following day and we were scheduled to depart the following morning. The Denali Zipline Adventures website clearly states that "Safety is our Primary concern" and it also states that winds of 30 mph are sufficient to cancel an event. I have screen shots of the National Weather Service posts for proof but can't post them here... Judge for yourself if you would risk your family for an organization that says Safety First" but really means "Money is First"!

Anyone is already bound to be happy with having an opportunity to, one, be in Alaska, and two, book an excursion for a heli ride to see a glacier, up close and personal. Temsco exceeded our expectations. With two pilots in the family, we looked at things with maybe a bit more of a discerning eye. All that said, we were a party of four and man, this was such a magical treat. Temsco isn't new to flying but their Denali location is a new addition. Our adventure started off with a personalized van pick up and ride to the business / helo pad. We sat for a safety briefing and were fitted for boots. The small but mighty team was fabulous. They explained what to expect, how things would go and then executed flawlessly. My guy is afraid of heights and doesn't like to be in "tin cans" as he calls small planes. The helicopter was such a different experience for him. You can see most everything and have great views outdoors, even from the backseat. This was the game changer for him. It's way easier to feel more in control with this expanded visibility. And, that aside, the views were magical. This was definitely a trip worth every penny and one that you won't ever forget. We saw wildlife, drank from an arctic stream, had a snowball fight and saw Mt. Denali from the clouds. Wow. Our pilot was incredibly friendly (Flo, a young guy from Germany) but also very laid back, a very skilled pilot and offered commentary as we flew - pointing out Dall sheep several times on the mountain sides. He was fabulous. I could go on and on. Check out the pics, make a plan and def include this once in a lifetime excursion in them. You won't regret it. Ever!
