An exceptional way to see Denali national park - We absolutely love this experience! It was so much fun. It’s a family owned business and it shows and how they all work together to create such an exceptional experience for their guests. In addition to the tour just being beautiful and fun, they also go out of their way to make a custom video of your time with them that they give you for free. This was well worth the money. We would absolutely do this again if we were back in Alaska.

Wonderful!! - Tim our guide, was very informative, and a lot of fun. The truck itself is quite an experience. It's quite rugged, handles rough terrain with impressive climbing, and it floats. The scenery is beautiful over and over again! This trip was a highlight of our vacation😊

Not-so-ordinary day in Alaska - Beautiful sunny day in Alaska!! Riding the Fat Tire Truck was a “first” for me, adding to the adventure. The stops along the way - breathtaking vistas, dry river bed exploration, crossing through the lower growth valley, and a deep lake plunge - offered enough variety for all curious travelers. And the added bonus of moose sightings… just the “cherry on top”. Thank you, Joel, for sharing your knowledge and the experience of a native Alaskan!! Lorilynn Dowiak. Maryland

Great Fun, Leave the Driving to the Experts! - The Fat Truck Tire Excursion was a really good time. We were able to enjoy an adventure that was safe, well run and informative. The expert guides were awesome people who shared so much about the land and Denali. If you’re worried about being too old for the excursion. Don’t be. There was a 91 year old woman on the fat truck having a good time along with us. Sign up, it’s a good old time, well worth it!

A different way to see Denali! - The highlight of our trip to Denali! These are ATVs on steroids! The Sherp trucks are all surface vehicles, not just all terrain. They can climb hills, handle Alaska snow, and they are amphious. The tour is entertaining and informative. Wind and weather permitting you are treated to a first class drone experience that shows off the drone's value as a photography platform. The tours are led by a close knit family that obviously enjoys working together. This is a different experience that should not be missed.
