Highlights
This is one of the only fully off-trail activities in Denali, and it's the ONLY survival focused activity offered in the Denali area. It is lead by an expert survivalist guide who has survived off the land for weeks on end. If "Into the Wild" is part of what brought you to Alaska, this is the best way to get an idea of what Chris McCandless's life was really like in the Denali backcountry. Eat the edible plants that he ate and learn the not-so-edible ones he ate that resulted in his demise. OH! And we donate 5% of our net profits to conservation in the areas we guide. That means you're helping Denali by taking this tour!

5Awesome Survival Tour
This tour was fantastic! Jade totally engaged my two sons and made the experience so fun. We all learned a lot and would definitely do it again!
5Fun engaging activity
Our family had a great time out with Jade and Abby. We enjoyed learning about the local plants how to make a shelter and making fires. The 4 hours flew by.
5Take this tour/couse!
I took the 4-hour Survival Course today with Don and it was EPIC! It was the perfect balance of info, fun, hiking, and taking in the beautiful scenery. Absolutely worth it.
5We will remember this hike forever!
This experience was unique, educational, and fun. Our guides (Abby and Jade) were the best! Both were extremely knowledgeable about wilderness hiking. My husband and I are experienced hikers but had never really considered how we would think and act in a survival situation - it is a life lesson that extends beyond the mountains. I recommend this activity to anyone who wants to see a different side of Denali. It was a welcome change from the "typical" cruise boat excursion. I was really impressed that Jade and Abby conducted the tour even though only two of us were participating that evening. We will remember this hike forever - one of our top experiences in Alaska.
5JADE IS AWESOME!
Jade was super knowledgeable and very good at making the experience so engaging and enjoyable! 10 out of 10 recommend to anyone with an adventurous spirit!
5Survival workshop 101
We had an amazing hike with JADE! He was so knowledgeable and answered all our questions. If you are looking to learn about survival and some edible plants, this is the hike! Amazing views as well!

About Denali National Park
Denali National Park is six million acres of tundra, spruce forest and glaciers in interior Alaska, centred on the highest mountain in North America.
Denali National Park and Preserve covers about six million acres of interior Alaska, a landscape of braided rivers, tundra, spruce forest and glaciers spread across the Alaska Range. The mountain itself, 6,190 metres high, is the highest in North America. It often hides in cloud, so a clear view of the summit is a matter of luck.
