Paul was an excellent guide. This is an amazing tour and something everyone should do while in Fairbanks, Alaska. You will get dirty, but they provide rain gear for you to wear. The views are amazing!! We just can’t say enough about how great this experience was!!!

    This a great adventure if you want to experience the beautiful and peaceful wilderness. The guide was amazing and very friendly. We appreciate his attention and knowledge of the area. I have enjoyed multiple ATV tours in different places, and this is definitely one of the best. Part of the fun was the dust and mud on the road, it adds to the excitement of the off-road adventure. I highly recommend this tour if you are visiting Fairbanks!

    Good experience with a great guide. Fun to ride through the mountains/woods south of Fairbanks. Cares about his guests and other people in the trails. Makes sure everyone gets back safely whether part of his group or a local a need.

    Awesome experience!!

    Daniel_C, Jun 2026
    Hands down!!! Nothing like I expected from other excursions. This was a true trail ride through the mountains and through trails of the woods and wild life. The view the instructor took us to was unbelievable. You could see for miles and miles of vast mountains and valleys. The wife and I was so glad we decided to make this trip. It was worth every penny for the experience. We got a close up experience with a moose and other animals. So stop desiding on it and go. You will love it, if your into new experiences.

    Our ride was early on a Saturday morning; it was raining lightly [not the entire time] – absolutely a fantastic time. Mud, ruts, puddles - everything the description said it would be. And YES, we got muddy, great time! Operator furnished rain suits, gloves and goggles. Would recommend. Picture does not show how deep some of the puddles were, was afraid I would lose my phone.

    This was such an amazing experience, full of adventure and adrenaline. Our tour guide was the best. He made sure we had great pics and we stopped along the trails. Also the equipment provided really did its job, kept us from getting all dirty. I would for sure recommend this tour, we would definitely do this again.

    Adventure worth taking

    Most Bang for your Buck!

    Awesome experience! We were picked up at our hotel and shuttled to the site. Clean, well-appointed facilities and well-maintained machines! The ride up the mountain was fun and stops were perfect. We had a fun photo op on the way down. This trip is well worth the cost. 10/10 would recommend

    Great experience with great tour guide!

    Norman_S, May 2025
    Truly fun and exciting! If you want a REAL SIDE BY SIDE experience this is the excursion you should take. Safe and great views. Loved it

    Wilderness fun

    Monica_S, Aug 2023
    We had a blast seeing the wilderness from these machines. If it hasn’t been for the wildfire smoke, we would have seen amazing, vast views of Alaska.

    Fun experience

    Awesome experience with incredible guides. They were super knowledgeable on the area and the machines. Will certainly be coming back.

    Exciting and lovely

    Sharon_P, Jul 2022
    Views of the mountains were lovely. The trail was sufficiently challenging to be fun but not too difficult for a novice.

    So much fun. They picked us up at our hotel and we drove about 30min to the garage. This was the cleanest garage I’ve seen. They were knowledgeable and concerned for our safety and comfort. Super muddy and we had a blast.

    This was an amazing neck country ATV ride. The trail was fun and long. I highly recommend. The equipment is well taken care of and it guide was fantastic...

    Fun until it wasn't.

    Samantha_C, Jun 2022
    The most memorable part was flipping the side by side and breaking my hand. Seatbelt worked like it was suppose to. Add scissors, pain medicine & an ice pack to your first aid kit. Up until then it was fun.

    We enjoyed the morning side by side ATV ride. Was definitely a little challenging, but fun! All machines and equipment were top notch. Paul was our guide and was great.

    SAFETY IS #1 AND WE MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE

    JEANNE, Jul 2021
    We've done tours in these vehicles 4x in Alaska and 3x in the Caribbean and SAFETY is a must. Just today people at our hotel went on the same kind of tour with a DIFFERENT company in Fairbanks & were very seriously injured. THIS company had the best safety equipment of all our previous ATV tours. Seat belts, roll bars, side mesh guards, pmus brand new full helmets & goggles & face shields. The ATVs were also brand new. They state they sell their equipment every year & buy all new ATVs. Hotel pick up and drop off was in a 5☆ new luxury van. Book with confidence.
