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!

Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for the Denali Primitive Survival workshop?

A: The workshop is generally suitable for ages 12 and up, but younger participants can join if they’re with an adult. Just make sure they’re up for some hiking and learning about survival. It’s a pretty engaging experience, so the kids are likely to enjoy it!

Q: What should I wear for the Denali Primitive Survival workshop?

A: Definitely wear layers! The weather can change quickly in Denali. A good pair of hiking boots is important too. You’ll get a rain jacket included, but I’d recommend wearing moisture-wicking clothes underneath. Trust me, you’ll want to be comfortable while learning how to identify edible plants!

Q: Can I reschedule if my plans change after booking the workshop?

A: Yes, you can reschedule! Just make sure to give them at least 48 hours notice. They’re pretty accommodating as long as you reach out in time. Always a good idea to have a backup plan, especially in Alaska.

Just booked the Denali Primitive Survival workshop!

I’m so excited! I booked this for my boyfriend's birthday. He’s really into survival skills and loves hiking. It’ll be a perfect gift since we’ll be in Denali for a week. I heard the guide is super knowledgeable and you actually get to try foraging for edible plants! Anyone done this? What should we expect?

Thinking of gifting the Denali Primitive Survival experience!

I’m considering this for my dad’s retirement gift. He’s always been a fan of ‘Into the Wild’ and loves hiking. I’m a bit worried about his fitness level, though. Is the hiking really easy? Anyone think this would be a good fit?
