Amazing experience! Tim, Joel, and Mark were a lot of fun to hang out with and very knowledgeable about the area. Beautiful views and it was a great way to get to the deep part of the back country.
Amazing tour wonderful views. Unique experience amazing machines The guides are amazingly well trained for safety and knowledge of the mountain
My daughter and I had a great time on this tour! The entire staff was so attentive and fun and made sure that everyone was comfortable and not too cold. I was a little worried about riding in the back of SHERP vehicle due to motion sickness, but it turned out ok. I would just say that for anyone prone to it, they do a couple of quick donuts at very beginning (for fun and because it looks cool in the video) that made one passenger a little nauseous for the rest of the ride, so maybe inquire about sitting that out if you are prone. Otherwise, it was great! We all took turns riding in the front. We saw a mother moose and her calf and rode on a frozen lake. Pictures, video and drone footage from your ride (including any wildlife they are able to capture) is included in the package, which we appreciated! I loved hearing about past search and rescue missions. Tim was great company on the ride to and from Fairbanks. Don't think twice about booking - it was an all-around great excursion
Fantastic in every way! Tim and Joel provide an incredible memory-making adventure. Tim was our van driver and tour guide. Friendly, funny, regaling us with entertaining stories and humor, and a wealth of knowledge about Alaska. Our Sherpa driver, Joel, was fun and went out of his way to give us a comfortable, safe, and memorable experience seeing breathtaking views, discussing fun facts, and putting together and sending us a complimentary and cool drone video of our time in the Sherpa. We saw moose, visited Denali National Park Visitor Center, and lunch was delicious at the local cafe’. Communication before the tour was excellent. Tim and Joel do all the little things that make this a memorable and must do experience. HIGHLY Recommend!
The tour was truly an adventure to remember. Tim and Joe paid attention to every detail to make sure we had the perfect day. Their first hand experiences in the area and knowledge allowed for an educational and interactive tour.
It was a unique experience to travel in a far truck and explore nature of Alaska. The team was very cooperative
Very informative,engaging and entertaining . The fat truck was quite unique and you’ll probably never see anything like it again. Lots of great driving by our driver guide Joel.
Tim was the best. He made the whole trip very personal, from the welcome text scheduling our pickup to the personalized video he sent after the trip. His stories and local flare added to the adventure. Mark was or Sherp driver and made sure we all comfortable and navigated us to some incredible views. Tour length, stories, and amazing views were worth every penny!
It was great and interesting stories
Fabulous time on this tour! These guys know how to entertain AND enlighten their guests as they take you into the backcountry of interior Alaska. Guest comfort was always attended to in the drive from our hotel to the jumping off point into the snowy wilderness and then as we traveled in the SHERP to remote places. Could have done this for hours on end with Joel and Tim. Loved every minute of it!
