Loved everything about my experience with this company. I showed up early morning to ask if they had any openings for one of their tours and got greeted by friendly gal named Matti whom turned out to be one of the owners. I got a spot on their demon machine ( Uncharted experience ) and got excited. Short briefing, engine on and the fun begun. We got to full throttle those demon machines through mud, gravel, sand, up the hills and water...I ate pound of dirt that day and never felt better. Lunch at the glacier was tasty and warm and the views unbelievable. I had great group of other participants that were not afraid of getting muddy and speed was their nickname so huge thanks to all of them for this fun ride. Special thanks to my Texan guide who made this a great experience ( Please get one of his stickers removed off of the penalty board he deserves it ). Added 1 pic of other participants ( that is how we all looked like at the end of this ride )

My wife and I had the best time of our whole 8 day Alaskan vacation riding out on this guided tour. We ride in the lower (Michigan - Ohio) states quite a bit, but it does not compare to the sights and ride in Alaska! We can not thank Jared and Anna enough! Thanks for great memories and pics!

Had an amazing time! Hailey was a great guide - took us over a variety of terrains, showed us bear tracks, and made sure we all had a blast. I was also very appreciative of their accommodations for dietary restrictions with lunch. I was still able to enjoy a delicious meal with everyone while being gluten free! Would definitely come back for another tour.

Couldn’t have picked a better experience for our last day in Palmer. This trip had a special meaning to our party of 6 so to end it like this was so amazing. Our guide Hailey made the whole day so much fun. You can tell she loves her job and that she wants to share her passion for ATV’ing and the love of the Alaskan outdoors. From the time we got there, everyone we came in contact with made it a point to make sure they knew our name. We were outfitted from head to toe with everything we needed to stay safe and dry but most importantly to have fun! We headed out to Knik Glacier stopping along the way for little quick breaks taking in the beautiful sights and some picture opportunities. Hailey was so knowledgeable and made sure all of our questions were answered and made sure we all knew what was expected when we headed back out. The glacier was absolutely breathtaking and the reindeer lunch was delicious. We didn’t want the day to end. Definitely a must do if you are looking for a fun way to explore the outdoors in the Palmer area. Hoping to get back to Palmer again and if we do this will definitely be the first thing on the list we do.

We had so much fun driving through the mud and sand and rivers knowing that these excellent machines had our back. The stops and snacks on the way were excellent, the guides were wonderful, and a fire and lunch at the glacier topped it all off! We learned that icebergs only show about 10% of themselves above the water, and some of them are 100 or so feet tall from sea level, meaning that the lake in the picture is thousands of feet deep. It’s an overwhelming scene with the ice fields. Breathtaking! This has been our favorite day in Alaska so far. They really take care of you here. Book this glacial wonderland experience now!

Awesome experience, highly recommend!
The staff is all very friendly. They all took time learning our names to make it a more personal experience. We did the 3 hour Glacier ATV tour in July 2024. It takes about 4 hours total once you do get the gear on and do safety briefings. The ATV driving was about 27 miles. You go through some amazing scenery, mud, water, and sand dunes. Dan was absolutely awesome. My 3 boys (13, 11, 8) all said it was one of the best experiences of our 3 week Alaskan vacation.

Everything about this tour was awesome! It all started with the customer service at check-in that was above and beyond to help us feel welcome.

Jack was super friendly and knowledgeable. He made sure we were comfortable with our machines and got us on our way. He made sure we were safe, comfortable and enjoyed our experience.

The trip to the glacier was full of spectacular views and has plenty of evidence of abundant wildlife. Topping the trip to the glacier was the majestic view of the glacier itself. Breathtaking scenery!

The home-cooked hot meal at the glacier really hit the spot too!

Great tour to really give us the Alaska experience!!! Would highly recommend and can’t wait to come back!!!
