This is a really exciting atv tour. I have only done two others and this one had the best terrain. It was challenging for a beginner, but not crazy, we went through forested areas, up steep rocky inclines and crossed a creek bed. You will get wet, and a little muddy. Bring extra shoes!

Our guides were great. I’m sorry but I don’t remember their names. There were 3 girls. I think one went by Dozer. They were informative & engaging. The scenery was very nice and the trails weren’t too rough.

Unforgettable Denali Adventure – Scenic, Rugged, and So Much Fun!

Hina_J, Sep 2025
We did this ATV tour in the Denali area with my husband and another couple, and it was amazing to say the least! From start to finish, the customer service was excellent. The shuttle picked us up and brought us to the ATV site, where we went through a safety briefing. Before heading out, the guides ensured everyone was comfortable operating the ATVs on a small practice course. Once the ride began, the real adventure started—it was bumpy, rugged, and everything I imagined Alaska to be. The guides were fantastic: courteous, safety-conscious, and very engaging. They kept us informed about the surroundings and made the whole experience fun and safe. The trail took us up to a higher area with breathtaking mountain views, then down into a riverbed where we saw a mountain that once housed a glacier in the background. The scenery was absolutely stunning. Riding through the riverbed was a highlight—the water was active and we even got to go through some deeper spots. The ATVs handled it perfectly, and we felt lucky since the guides mentioned the water isn’t always low enough to cross. Midway through, it got a little rough for me based on my skill level, and the guides immediately accommodated me by switching me into a side-by-side vehicle so I could continue comfortably. That level of attentiveness really stood out. All in all, it was an unforgettable experience that every one of us enjoyed. The combination of adventure, scenery, and great guides makes this tour a must-do if you’re in Denali!

So much fun!!

Daryl_C, Sep 2025
Super fun but it's not 2.5 hours touring. We arrived at the location at 3pm and waited for 20~ min for the guests picked up via shuttle bus. We had an orientation after, drove with a few photo & informational stops, and was in our car driving back at 5:15pm.

Very exciting tour!

Niyanna_M, Sep 2025
The tour is very self paced and very fun. Me and my husband enjoyed ourselves and the tour guides cat and mud were very nice and funny and held great conversation. Will be returning with more people soon.

qiwei_z, Sep 2025
If you never had a single ATV experience then don’t go. I paid for a single ATV which I never tried before. After less than 2 minutes so called “test”, they put me on a side by side. No difference refunded or anything. They don’t take you to the national park. I felt like they just wanted to finish the tour as fast as they could so they can get off the work and go home. The entire tour was rush.

Get the single rider ATVs - beautiful views and adventure

Bonne_C, Sep 2025
Fantastic adventure - get the single rider ATVs to earn some mud and dust. It’s well worth it. Jet and Aiden were our tour guides that shared their love of the land by showing us some beautiful views of Mt Healy, creeks, and beautiful aspen and spruce forests. The trails can be rough in spots but the ATVs can handle it, just listen and follow your guides. UTVs (beefed-up golf carts) are another popular option but our little group of ATVs had a bit more fun in my opinion ;) …a little dose of adrenaline while you cruise through the wilderness and bask in the beauty.

Great ride

This was a great atv ride through back woods trails bordering Denali. It is rain or shine so dress for the weather. Our ride was in the rain which made it that much more fun, but some people who were in our group were not dressed for the weather.

Guides were very knowledgeable about the area and made sure everyone knew how to safely operate machines.

A rainy day is better than a dry day! (No Dust) Daisy and Scout were great! Knowledgeable and entertaining!! ATV’s are in great shape and powerful enough to take you on the trails!

Fun outdoor way to see local Alaska sites!

Carol_W, Aug 2025
Had a great time in a UTV . You could get muddy and wet! It's not a smooth ride at all...very bouncy, but that's what we expected! A fun time with cool views!

Fun Alaskan adventure

Lisa_S, Aug 2025
Exciting ATV adventure next to Denali National Park. Husband loved driving the ATV through streams and mud. Stopped at a couple of points for beautiful views. There were about 10 ATVs for our tour that rode single file through the wilderness. Helmets were provided. There was a bar on the passenger side to hold onto during the bumpy parts of the ride. The driver leading the event was excellent. It was nice to be picked up from Denali Princess Wilderness hotel.

Exceeded expectations

Laura_P, Aug 2025
We had an amazing time on our evening atv excursion. Maddy and Kat were incredible. They were fun, informative, safely conscious, allowing us to enjoy the sites and a bumpy, muddy off road experience! We were given instructions and sent out with one guide in front and one in the back. We stopped 3 times along the way to take in the sites and learn about the area. A beautiful sunset! Mud, water, rocky fun!

Wonderful tour, lots of fun and great views. Nice support by the guides who lead us on the way & gave us local education on the wildlife and communities. It was an easy ride and not as dirty as I thouoght it might be with driving in the mud and through puddles.

Fun in the Alaskan Wilderness

Lynn_O, Aug 2025
While enjoying our time at the Princess resort in Denali, we spent a sunny day off trailing in an ATV. A small group of us on one-person, two-person and four-person ATVs were enjoying speeding through trails and almost dry river beds all afternoon. We didn't see any other people or structures until we crossed the path of two other vehicles enjoying the river too. We stopped to catch our breath a couple of times, enjoying the scenery, looking for rocks and taking pictures. We didn't see any wildlife that day, but an earlier group had seen elk near the river. The guises were very friendly and helpful. They set the pace and then one stayed behind us to make sure everyone was successful. We would definitely do this again! Be sure to bring or plan to buy gaiters, it was pretty dusty the day we went out.

ATV in the rain

Ellen_A, Aug 2025
It was a blast. We drove the side by side. It was raining some. Wet and muddy.Highly recommend. Adin and Goose where great guids.

This is a must do!...

Tammy_K, Aug 2025
This is a must do! Learning some about Alaskan history and the mountainsides is wonderful. The views are just breathtaking.! Be sure to bring an extra pair of shoes because if it's been raining then you will get muddy. 100% worth it!

Best experience of our trip so far!!

Maci_B, Aug 2025
We had the best time riding ATVs in the Denali Mountains/wilderness! Our guide, Jett, was personable and provided fun information and safe route. We saw 2 moose on our tour! I recommend packing binoculars if able. It was especially fun driving through the streams!

Great tour!

Barbara_M, Aug 2025
Great experience! Appreciated how safety conscious the company was. Also enjoyed the short talks about the area during our stops! Driving through water where ATV tries were mostly emerged into water was thrilling. Guides were great.
