Views beautiful! & informative helpful staff , !! I haven’t been that muddy since I was a little kid jumping in mudd puddles! lol 👍			

				Brenda Mills			

							Took a bus from the office in Denali park. The Staff was great, from the bus driver to the guides! Me and my buddy had Tater-tot and Daisy-May/Sprout as our guides! (Yes they all have trail names). Super sweet, super funny, very knowledgeable and personable. 10/10 And as promised… If their moms are reading this… THEY’RE FINE! They. Are. Doing. GREAT!!! Let them enjoy their jobs in the environmental field, in such a wonderful place that most could only dream of working in!… But send snacks. Kids of any age love when their parents send snacks 😂			

				Brandon Panensky			

							Excellent tour, and it was a great idea to split the group later on into slower beginners and faster experienced riders. Everyone was happy w the pace, and hopefully the management will take notice and do this every time and not just on occasion!			

				Elliot Gindis			

							Our tour guide Daisy was amazing! We had a lot of fun.			

				Rose Casebolt			

							We had a great time on our Alaska trip with Denali ATV Adventures. Our guide was funny, informative, and knowledgeable not only about the land and history of the location but on. how to use the 4-wheelers as well. We would have loved to have more driving time as we stopped more than we thought we would. But we came back covered in mud and had a blast. Would definitely come back here.			

				Andrew Collins			

							Wow! This was so much fun and incredible views and scenery! Thor and Goblin did a great job as tour guides! Worth every penny!			

				Kathy Gross			

							Must to do this on your Trip to Alaska. These guys will take real good care of you. It was so much fun for me and my friends this summer to tour with them.			

				Sairin Maredia			

							Had a great time. My husband drove and I was the passenger. He got us a little muddy a couple of times and we needed help to get the windshield clean to see again. He loved that and would have gotten a lot more muddy if I hadn’t been with him. Memorable time.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is the best time of the day to go?

With almost 24 hours of daylight during most of our summer tours, there is no difference between the morning, afternoon, and evening departures! Choose which one fits into your schedule best. You may think that 8 am sounds early but consider time zone changes. Wildlife usually prefer the cool of the morning.

Is this a guided tour?

All Denali ATV trips are guided by professional, knowledgeable guides. There is always a front guide leading the tour group, and a back guide.

I've never been on an ATV before. Will I be able to do this?

Absolutely! Our experienced guides will facilitate your experience, and there’s a short practice session before the main tour. No experience is necessary for single ATVs, and side-by-side ATVs are easy to drive, similar to a car.

Will we see wildlife?

Yes! Maybe! No! This is not a zoo, so animals are not guaranteed – Moose, fox, porcupines, snowshoe hares, sheep, lynx, wolves, bears. Morning and late afternoon are typically the best times; Longer tours offer better chances.

What does a tour group look like?

We fill our tours by number of units and not people. On average there will be 8 units on a tour, while the number of people will vary based on the unit types.

What should I wear on my ATV tour?

Wear clothing appropriate for all weather and trail conditions. Layers are best in Denali, including a wind/rain layer. Choose clothing that can get dirty or wet. Closed-toe shoes are required, and sturdy sneakers or boots are recommended for the tour.

What are Denali ATV Adventures dates of operation?

Our tour office is open from 7am to 9pm during the summer season. In 2025, we will operate tours May 16 – September 13.
