Book this tour!!! - We had an absolutely fantastic experience on this tour. This was such a fun and unique way to experience the Denali area. The SHERP itself was incredible. It was amazing to see what this vehicle could do and the terrain it could handle. We traveled through rugged areas that you would never be able to experience in a regular vehicle, which made the entire adventure exciting from beginning to end. The three-hour tour was the perfect amount of time and never felt rushed. Our guide was wonderful—friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience even more enjoyable. We learned about the area while still having plenty of time to enjoy the scenery, take pictures, and just have fun. The views were beautiful, and riding in the SHERP was an experience all by itself. Bonus we saw a moose and as an extra bonus they give you a complementary video at the end. If you’re visiting Denali or Healy, I highly recommend adding this tour to your itinerary. It’s something completely different from the typical Denali excursions. We made some wonderful memories and are so glad we booked it.

Great trip, great people! - A great, one of a kind trip from a very well run family business! Clear communication, prompt pick up, friendly drivers, and quite an education on everything that came up during the ride! We learned about blueberries, huckleberries, birch syrup, moose scat, rocks, glaciers, mining history, and so much more! I would not hesitate to do it again.

An Unexpected Adventure - This excursion was a total surprise to all of us! From the very bumpy beginning to the demonstration of what the Fat Trucks could do over inclines and in the water. Additionally, the commentary by the driver was extremely interesting. It was a very worthwhile excursion. So glad we did!!

Amazing Experience - This is the most unique activity! The Sherps are just amazing vehicles and the guides are very knowledgeable about the tour area. We were not rushed at the places we stopped and they even take drone footage. Each Sherp also gets a video!! Just the experience of riding in one of these vehicles is amazing. I highly recommend this tour.

Fun Afternoon - Can be a bit cramped inside so if you're claustrophobic it might not be your type of excursion. The tour guide was very willing to answer all our questions

Good but seemed over valued. - These vehicles are very unique and enjoyed the ride. It was made clear that this was not a wildlife tour but we could see something, we didn’t see anything on our trip. I felt it was over priced for a 2 hour tour to ride some mining trails and float in the small lake at the end. I would not have done it knowing what I received and the price. The Team there was fantastic and took photos for you which was great.
