olcoon, I did 2 whale watch boat rides, my wife did three, that was a big chunk of our entertainment dollars. We also flew around Denali for a couple of hours which was pretty pricy. We bought the TourSaver app which saved some bucks.
Snowman9000, The fuel for the toad is not included in the total. We only used 3 or 4 tanks of gas in the Tracker, probably less than 50 gallons.

Wife and I have a 2017 trip to Alaska in the planning. We too want to take a Denali flight. We see there are various options with a number of flight services. Did you take fixed wing or helicopter? Any lake or glacier landings? We have checked the prices, but just want to ask if you thought it was money well spent?
TS21,
We used Stampede Aviation's fixed wing, Cherokee 6, with no glacier landings. We had the Alaska Toursaver which is a two for one ticket at $375 instead of $750. We really, really enjoyed the flight which was billed as 1.5 hours but actually 2+ hours. This was at Denali. The Toursaver app saved us a lot of money on the whale watching cruises too. Good luck. Have fun!
