Elizabeth_D, Jul 2026

Adrenaline start pumping,

Our guide learned to drive in NYC. I was nervous at the start and thrilled at the end. I had not driven like that since I was a teenager in Detroit City. Not for the faint of heart, but definitely great for the adventurer I would go again and so would my wife and friends. Thanks to Goose and MadDog for getting my heart pumping again. AND, they got us all back safely. Rich🧔🏻‍♂️

Our guide, Don was delightful! He was extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic and personable. We learned a lot of fascinating facts about the beautiful scenery surrounding us and he entertained us with stories as we took in the stunning vistas in open areas as well as some wooded areas . An easy hike with a big “ pay off” !

This ride will not be forgotten!

IF you like ATV rides in the rough, go with these guys, they will do everything they can for you, and the dinner served was beyond expectations. Danny, our lead guide was entertaining, but also very capable on the trail, even when we had a mishap...he saved the day! Addison, a great help also and not to omit Ross🤣 you will see some good scenery to break up the trails.

3 Hour SHERP Tour: Denali Fat Truck Tours

Karen_S, Jul 2026

Absolutely a MUST do tour while in Denali

This was an excellent adventure. I highly recommend the SHERP Fat Tire Tour. This unique vehicle takes you over rough terrain and through water. If you one of the fortunate ones you may even see a moose or a bear. We even learned a little local geology. The tour guides were informative and very personable.

2.5-Hour Denali Wilderness ATV Adventure Tour

Brian_S, Jul 2026

Denali ATV wilderness tour

Great ride overall, and guides were very knowledgable and friendly. It was very windy. Goggles or sunglasses are highly recommended, especially on the dirt trails, to protect your eyes from dust and debris. Would have been a great option to rent there or have a shield on the helmets given to wear there.

Denali Rafting Wilderness Wave

Rafting through Denali national Forest

My husband and I had a fantastic time on our rafting excursion in Denali National Park! We chose the Class II-III option, which turned out to be more of a scenic float with a few fun rapids rather than an adrenaline-filled adventure. It was a great way to take in Denali’s beautiful scenery while enjoying time on the river. Our guides were absolutely hilarious and kept everyone laughing from start to finish. Their energy, knowledge, and storytelling made the entire trip incredibly memorable and were a huge part of why we enjoyed it so much. If you’re trying to decide between the two rafting options, it really comes down to your adventure level. The Class II-III trip is perfect if you’re looking for a more relaxed, scenic experience. On this excursion, the guide does all the rowing, so you can sit back, enjoy the views, and take in the beauty of Denali. If you’re looking for a more exciting, hands-on rafting experience, I’d recommend choosing the Class III-IV trip instead. We had such a great time that we’d absolutely come back—and next time we’ll definitely opt for the Class III-IV rapids for a little more excitement! They supplied a wetsuit, PFD (life jacket), helmet, and river shoes. The only thing not included was gloves, but they had them available for purchase, or you can simply bring your own. Overall, this was a wonderful excursion with an outstanding guide team, beautiful scenery, and a well-organized operation. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful float or a bigger adrenaline rush, they have an option for you. We’d definitely recommend it!

Denali Alaska Range 5hr Mountain Hike w/Views & Naturalist Guide

Kam_A, Jul 2026

This mountain hike...

This mountain hike through the wilderness in the Alaska Range was simply outstanding! It's certainly not for the faint-of-heart, especially near the top. But, with a great guide like we we had with Beth, who not only educated us on all the beautiful nature surrounding us, she expertly instilled confidence in everyone in my family such that we all ended this highly-rewarding excursion with a great sense of accomplishment! Ask for Beth if you can... she's the BEST! We couldn't have had a better experience.

Denali Park Zipline Adventure

Anup_R, Jul 2026

Absolutely fun ziplining....

Absolutely fun ziplining. They have a total of 6 ziplines with various heights and lengths which adds to the fun element. We had 2 guides who made extra sure we were safe before every zip line and every step( little bit of tree top is also included). Bonus 15 min ATV ride to and fro from the starting point to the zipline location. Would absolutely recommend this zipline in the Denali area.

Denali ATV Trailblazer 3.5 Hour Tour

Dakota_E, Jun 2026

We had an amazing time...

We had an amazing time with Denali ATV Adventures! Our guides, Radiator and Rock Bottom, were fantastic—knowledgeable, fun, and made the entire experience both exciting and safe. They shared interesting facts about the area, kept the group entertained, and made sure everyone was comfortable throughout the ride. The scenery was incredible, and the ATV adventure was definitely one of the highlights of our Alaska trip. Highly recommend Denali ATV Adventures, especially if you get Radiator and Rock Bottom as your guides!
