Family Treasure Hunt - Our family of six ranging from ages 8 to 73 had a great time on the Treasure Hunt ATV tour with Caleb as our guide. He did an excellent job guiding us through the trails on an exciting and adventurous ride through to see the gorgeous views of Lake Otto and onto the Glacial Moraine. On the way to stopped to see a moose and her calf and ate a 10 course meal that all enjoyed. It is an experience we won’t forgot and worth the price.

Fantastic family fun and food - Fantastic service from start to finish. The van to the excursion was comfortable and timely. We had Danny and Nora as our guides/drivers for the ride. They did a fabulous job taking care of our family. They customized our adventure to what we were interested in. The lunch was also fantastic - one of our best meals for the whole 2 week trip. 10/10 experience. My only caution to people considering this adventure is to plan to be dirty/muddy/wet; it’s a huge part of the fun.

Best Excursion, Up close with nature! - This was an exciting off-road experience with our guide Andrew. We were 3 sisters, in our 70's, and rode with Andrew through beautiful scenery and splashed through creeks. We saw a moose! Andrew shared local plant and animal insights and we appreciated his personal touch. Note that you might get pretty dusty from the dirt/gravel trails. The meal was hearty and delicious. Compliments to the chef, Fro! This was one of the best excursions on our 11 day Alaskan tour!

Fast and fun for the whole family - Highly recommend booking with Black Diamond! We were struggling to find things to do with our 5 and 3 year old in Denali and the treasure hunt was phenomenal! Our guide, John, was so patient with the kids and made it extra fun for them - finding them rocks in the creek, going fast through mud puddles, checking on them with the speed..everything about it was awesome! As parents we learned a lot about the area and the history. The meal was also very well done. Everyone we encountered was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable but John was a great guide, our girls were telling everyone about the ride and him!! If you’re in the area with kids (or without) don’t skip booking a Black Diamond experience!

High Hopes, Big Disappointment - We had great hopes as we enjoy UTV riding and we’re excited about exploring the area. Unfortunately, this was a disappointment. While the staff and our tour guide Robert were friendly, if you are wanting a ride experience, this is probably not the excursion for you. There was very little riding. We would go a short distance then stop for a while, repeat, repeat. In the 3 hours, maybe 45 minutes of riding. In addition, the UTV windshield had not been cleaned, making it difficult to see out.
