Denali ATV Trailblazer 3.5 Hour Tour
Description
Get out and ride in the Alaskan Boreal Forest! Traveling at speeds up to 30 mph, maneuver through the taiga to picturesque panoramas of the Alaska Range. Observe glacial moraines and historic archaeological dig sites while navigating tree rutted trails, mountain-fed creek beds, and boggy tundra. Spend more time riding on the trail than any other Denali area off-road adventure tour. You may learn how to make fireweed tea, leave with a blueberry smile, or even chat about survival. Periodic stops are made for photography and wildlife sightings. Tackle the terrain in a single-rider ATV or share the thrill in a multi-passenger side-by-side ATV. Trails are challenging for all experience levels. Total tour covers about 20 miles with 2½ hours on the trails.

While the trip was quite dusty, my 3 sons and I had a blast!! We all felt the experience, the knowledge our guides shared, and the views from the top of the vistas were well worth the money. I am sure my sons will be back with their families to enjoy ATV riding in Alaska!!
Very polite people, great fun, great experience, lots of bums good dust, prepare for a great experience!!
Had a great time with Splash and Rock Bottom! They were highly trained in both ATVs and knowledge of surroundings! They were both locked in on safety skills as well as humorous! You won’t be disappointed! Go and experience Denali on a ride with some professionals!
This ATV tour was not really what we expected. It was way too fast and way too rough. We have ridden ATVs for a number of years in a variety of locations and this was our most anticipated and unfortunately the least enjoyable ride. You can either have fast or rough but not both. We were looking forward to a beautiful ride through beautiful country and instead got a ride so fast and so rough that you couldn't take a picture even if you wanted to. We did stop on 4 occasions and were able to take pictures but we were unable to enjoy the scenery along the way. And the guides although very nice and personable put the fear of god in you if you did not follow exactly in the tire tracks of the person ahead of you. So you spent the whole ride looking at the road ahead of you and not enjoying the scenery. There may be those looking for a fast, rough ride but it was not us. I wish we had known. Be aware before you book.
These folks are great. They're well organized from start to finish. Beginning with the bus from the lodge to the check in and orientation throughout the ride and on the bus again back to the lodge everyone one was friendly, engaging, knowledgeable and worked hard to make the trip great. They kept us entertained while another side by side was brought out from the base when one of the buggies popped a tire . It is a fast paced follow the leader ride with woods, mountains, and streams. Recent rains turned a dry creek bed into fun water crossings. The staff makes sure anyone that can operate gas, brakes and steering has a blast.
We really enjoyed our excursion!! Charlie and Natalie were great tour guides. We learned a lot and loved the stories! Thanks for a great time!!!!
Machines were in good shape and easy to operate, our guides Roadkill and Rooster were very fun and interesting to say the least. I don't mean this next comment to be derogative as mush as informative. This trip was designed for the beginner, someone who perhaps has never ridden a side by side. There was nothing technical about it and we didn't even get dirty. Again as long as you understand thats what your getting you should be fine with it but I was hoping for more adventure.
Thank you for joining us and for the positive comments about our ATVs and your tour guides, Roadkill and Rooster! We’re glad you enjoyed their personalities and the overall experience. You’re correct that our standard guided tours are designed to accommodate a wide range of experience levels, from first-time riders to experienced ATV enthusiasts. Because we operate as a group tour, we have to keep the pace and terrain appropriate for everyone in the group. For guests looking for a more customized experience, we also offer private guided ATV tours that can be tailored more closely to the group’s experience level, as well as self-guided ATV rentals for those who prefer to explore at their own pace. We appreciate the feedback and hope we can get you out on one of those options next time for a little more Alaska adventure—and maybe even a little more mud!
It was a great day to get out and see the rough terrain of Alaska! Our guides Splash and Radiator were the best!
Our ATV tour was a blast! It began with a convenient shuttle pick up from our hotel and a short ride to Healy. The staff was friendly, helpful and everyone seemed to be enjoying their job. The ATVs were fun to drive and easy to handle and the ride was very much off-road and bumpy with beautiful Alaska views and interesting sites along the way. We stopped about 4 times for pictures and information and the guides were eager to help. My husband and I are both in our 60’s and had a great time. Although technically not inside Denali NP, the tour provided some of the best views of the park we found on our visit as we were not interested in spending 5.5 hours on a bus doing a park tour. Go do it! It’s fun! (Just not if you need or just received back surgery.)
