Highlights
  • Black Diamond Resort Company - Enjoy complimentary transport from your Healy hotel to Black Diamond Resort Co, where you’ll embark on a family-friendly backcountry treasure hunt.

After a short safety briefing, you’ll hop aboard your own Polaris Ranger, outfitted with seat belts, a windshield and cover. It’s similar to a small open-air Jeep but sports the exciting flair of an ATV. Then, head out into the wilds of Alaska with your professional guide.

Navigate the back country trails, searching for hidden secrets, granite rocks, and additional clues that bring you closer and closer to finding your treasure: a rustic pavilion in the woods where a camp-style meal awaits.

Traverse old mining paths that spill out onto the Dry Creek River Bed, stop on a whim to take in the surrounding scenery, or walk along the tundra and travel up the side of Black Diamond Peak for spectacular views of the Healy Valley — all the while working together to strategize and plan your next moves.

Additional Information

Embark on a distinctive, fun-filled expedition into the Alaskan wilderness, traversing off-the-beaten paths in an all-terrain vehicle guided by our experienced professionals. This interactive 3-hour journey from Healy is nothing short of a treasure hunt, tasking participants with uncovering hidden markers, searching for quartz and granite stones, and trading geocache tokens—all culminating in a keepsake to bring home. Expand your knowledge of the region’s history, plants, and wildlife while replenishing your energy with a rustic backcountry meal.

Should you wish to drive independently, inform us at the time of reservation. Otherwise, we offer a pick-up service from your selected hotel—with the collection time coinciding with your booking slot. For self-drivers, aim to arrive at our site approximately 15 minutes after the start time.

First class experience! - From the moment Igor picked us up from the hotel, we knew we were in for a fun night! Noah was our ATV guide and he was fantastic - tried so hard to find a moose for us to see! A great excursion to see the stunning area.. it was fantastic having a driver so we could enjoy the epic beauty! Food was hearty and it was nice to sit inside while eating. By the time we finished the entire experience, we felt like part of the Black Diamond family. Highly recommend!

Fun Experience - This was a VERY fun experience. Riding out to the backcountry in an ATV, stopping periodically to view some wonderful scenery, is worth every penny. Our guides, Jack & Martin, are extraordinarily good at what they do. Once we returned to the cabin, we had an excellent meal of numerous salads, salmon, moose, 'stupid chicken', and a delicious dessert. There were a variety of beverages to choose from as well. We didn't actually search for 'treasure', but that really didn't matter to any of us that were on this excursion.
