Googlefi is great until it no longer is. They cancel your plan after about 90 days if you’re fully international. Bummer bc I got it due to a RU-vid video and now need to figure my life out.
We went on this tour just last week. It. Was. Marvelous! Only saw the ear tips of a moose (the underbrush is thick and tall), saw bears at a distance, same with the Dall sheep. We did have a caribou walk right by the bus. Saw some other wildlife as well. Our tour guide/driver had been leading tours for over 20 years. She lived there year round and LOVES all things Denali - especially winter. Her love for her home was in every word, every breath and it made for a great tour experience. She kept reminding us to savor the moment - as if some needed reminding! One cool thing was that the bus had drop down screens and she had a camera with a telephoto lens so she could aim it at wildlife that was a great distance away and show it, magnified, on the screen. Even if you couldn't make out the animals with the naked eye, you could still see and even photograph them. Of the entire Princess land/cruise experience, this and College Fjord were my favorites. Both were stunningly beautiful. BTW...I'd recommend going in mid to late May. No bugs, still lots of snow and ice to be seen, temperatures are chilly to cool but not unbearable. The tours run all day. You will get a tour departure time and be on a bus with 40 or 50 fellow tourists. They stagger the departure times so as not to overcrowd the roads and the park. They are VERY protective of Denali - and its pristine condition, even after over a half million visitors annually shows that their plan works.
Thank you for the fair wishes, Without a doubt it will be my top 1-5 things I’ve been able to do. 7 days cruising north bound through Alaska, salmon fishing in Skagway, 4 days in Denali, a plane over and around Denali with a glacier landing, riverboat ride to Fairbanks and whatever else calls my name.
Don’t forget you were traveling with the tour companies not with the Alaska Railroad them selves. In my opinion it’s a better deal to ride on Alaska Railroad’s actual passenger trains like the Denali Star which runs between Anchorage and Fairbanks and the Coastal Classic which runs between Anchorage and Seward which both offer Alaska Railroad’s Gold Star service. Their Gold Star Service includes bi level dome cars like the ones the tour companies run but the six the railroad runs have their viewing platform upstairs, and all meals and non Alcohol drinks are included ( which the tour companies don’t include) plus Gold Star passengers get two free Alcoholic drinks.
I’m sorry have you seen the aurora forecast? Iceland is usually always in the most direct view for the northern lights. Do your own research y’all, I ain’t even hear no reasoning behind this lol.
I arrive in Iceland at end of August few years ago. It was rain rain and more dark cloudy sky. Stayed for ten days had one and a half day of sun shine. I rather go to New Zealand. Much sunnier and greener. I would never recommend anyone go to Iceland for northern lights due to so much cloud coverage on a normal day.
