Jet Boat Tour

[jsumomma]

Looking for the best jet boat tour out of Denali. Heard there is a trapper or fishing guide originally from Alabama who tours. Does anyone know the best to do?

I've never seen jet boats near Denali.

 

Perhaps you're thinking of Talkeetna. Check the Talkeetna Chamber of Commerce web site for a list of vendors.

I think it probably is Talkeetna but it's called the Denali Jet Boat Tour. I'm having a hard time deciding whether to do that or a flightseeing tour of Denali.

The only jet boat tour I've read about in trip reports was MAHAY's.

Are you doing a cruisetour ...... maybe the cruiseline calls the excursions Denali JetBoat ???

The MAHAY web site includes a description of their tour. Compare it to Denali Jet Boat.

 

Flightseeing and jet boats are as different as night and day.

Use the SEARCH function above to pull up info and trip reports that mention MAHAY. People report that the boat goes by a bald eagles nest, some people saw moose and on a clear day they had great views of mountain ranges. If that sounds interesting to you, go for it. Or consider it as a back up plan if your flightseeing gets weathered out, which is a common occurrence.

 

( I think alaskanb did the Mahay tour last summer .... look for their trip report in the 2016 list)
