The McKinley Explorer is one of the many train tours of Alaska. There are actually several different McKinley Explorer packages, depending on your preference for tour length. If you're going to visit Alaska, the trains are an excellent and convenient way of seeing the majestic beauty of the land.
In case you're worried about being too static, you won't actually be sitting on the train the entire time. You'll be stopping and visiting Denali National Park, and there are often options for more adventurous day trips, like white water rafting, horseback riding and hiking. But even while you're traveling, you'll be inundated with 180 degree views of enormous mountains and glaciers. The glass dome covers of the cars will maximize your viewing pleasure.
The Six Night McKinley Explorer Package
If you're going to make the trek to Alaska, it only makes sense to make the most of your time. The Denali and Explorer package of the McKinley Explorer is a seven day and six night trip, which is long enough to show you a great variety of the land and wildlife. The package also includes a glacier cruise, so you can get close to them as well as a Tundra Wildlife Bus Tour of Denali National Park.
The amazing wildlife of Alaska is part of its attraction. On the wildlife bus tour, you'll get a chance to spot caribou, sheep, deer, and even grizzly bears. This package also features a tour of the Alaska SeaLife center, where you'll get to see sea lions, seals, and seabirds. You'll also get to take a second cruise to sea more sea life including whales, sea otters, and porpoises.
