Check the descriptions of the several different helicopter tours offered through Denali National Park by Era Helicopters LLC, which is currently the exclusive operator providing helicopter tours in Denali. These tours range include a 50-minute aerial overview of the park, a four-hour heli-hiking trip with a naturalist guide and a tour that includes landing on a glacier.
Investigate other local tour companies in addition to Era Helicopters. Other companies may provide alternative dates or discounted prices on these same tours. Two of these companies are All Alaska Tours and Alaska Denali Tours.
Look into local lodging places with concierge services offering helicopter tours. These are often the same tours, but often heavily discounted. Denali Mountain Morning Hostel claims it offers the greatest discounts available on the Era Helicopter tours. Two others that offer discounts are Denali Park Salmon Bake & Cabins and Denali Touch of Wilderness Bed and Breakfast.
Investigate other options for discounted helicopter tours, such as the Great Alaska Tour Saver coupon book, which has a two for one special on Era Denali helicopter tours. Alaska Tour & Travel offers coupons for discounts on the helicopter tours.
Make a list and write down the prices from each source, noting any additional conditions or restrictions such as blackout dates or times, weight limitations or other considerations. Look over the list, choose the one that best meets your needs, contact the provider and make your reservation.
