Q: How many passengers can fit in one helicopter tour?

A: There are a couple different companies offering Helicopter Tours in Alaska, and of course they use different helicopters, so the passenger capacity changes.
For Denali National Park Helicopter Tours, generally the passenger capacity is 6 people per helicopter.


For Helicopter tours out of Girdwood, exploring the Chugach Mountain Range, the helicopter is smaller; it has a 3 person passenger capacity. There is an advantage to a smaller helicopter however; every person has a window seat, and a great panoramic view! If you have a larger group, you can simply split your group between more than 1 helicopter.


Note: If any passengers are over 250 lbs, they may have to be allocated an extra seat, which brings the passenger capacity down.

Q: Is it a possibility to rent a car one-way to Denali National Park?

A:Unfortunately, there are no rental car agencies in Denali National Park, so you can not drop a rental car off there.  However, there are a couple of alternate options available: You can take our convenient Anchorage Denali Express service from Anchorage to Denali, and then take Alaska Railroad’s Denali Star Train back the next day.

Or, if you are set on renting a car:  After visiting Denali, you will have to detour further north to Fairbanks, to drop your rental car off (Additional fees may apply.) You can then take a train back to Anchorage. You will have to leave Denali pretty early, or stay the night in Fairbanks to do this, as the Fairbanks train leaves for Anchorage at 8am, and arrives at 8pm.

Q: Can we take the morning bus to the Denali Backcountry Lodge?

A:Yes, however, if you are planning to stay overnight at the Denali Backcountry Lodge, you must take the afternoon bus.  It is still the same fully narrated, exciting, wildlife searching adventure, just set a little later in the day. You will arrive at the Denali Backcountry Lodge in the evening, on time for a Family-Style Dinner, and a peaceful night in your private cedar cabin.

The morning bus is reserved for the Denali Backcountry Adventure.  It is a full-day adventure and requires an early start, which is why the morning bus is completely reserved. It’s most complete trip to Kantishna, in Denali National park, in just one day.
