Do the regular park buses have comfortable seats? I’m taking my 75 year old mom and 71 year old aunt and am debating if we should do a guided tour for more comfortable seats.

We took took a guided tour, from the park entrance all the way to Kantishna, and it was pretty comfy. Our driver was PHENOMENAL. We got a ton of info and he stopped alot. The trip was about 11 hours so that may be excessive for older riders, but it was a great time. Our driver was Chavez, he will make your trip worth it, regardless. My husband was against a guided tour, but this guy, man. He was as excited to be there as we were. In short, guided=comfy, but dont try the Kantisha Experience. It would be too long for them.
With the Eielson bus taking 8 hours round trip, that means it takes 4 hours to go 66 miles? If we want to do a full day hike from Eielson center, does that mean we have to sit on a bus for 4 hours to begin the day?
A:
Yes. It'll be about 4 hours one way but there are rest stops during the way. Pack more food than you think and bring water.
Does the shuttle replace the tours or do you need to do both the shuttle and a bus tour.
A:
Shuttle replaces tour. My shuttle driver was awesome. Gave narration, although they are not required to talk I think most do. Also stopped to let us take pictures. After my research it …
Shuttle replaces tour. My shuttle driver was awesome. Gave narration, although they are not required to talk I think most do. Also stopped to let us take pictures. After my research it seemed like you were getting the same thing as the tours only for less money If you would happen to get a driver you don't like, hop off and wait for the next shuttle.
