Alaska Winter Experiences: Heated UTV Tour vs Snowmobiling Tours
Find out whether a heated UTV tour or snowmobiling tour is best for you and your group! Both tours allow you to access the Alaskan backcountry like never before. Come enjoy winter with us and play in the snow during an unforgettable experience!
Come Explore Alaska in the Winter
Alaska in the wintertime is peaceful and awe inspiring. Winter brings some really unique Alaskan experiences from exploring ice caves, snowmobiling in vast landscapes, dog mushing, and seeing the northern lights dance overhead. When you prepare for the cold and embrace the conditions you can make some lasting memories.
We recommend being ready for any adventure with some warm layers, your camera, and a capable rental car. Luckily on our tours, we provide you with snow suits, safety gear, and winter boots to keep you extra warm and safe while out exploring!
Bring your spouse, your family, or your friends along and come explore the winter wonderland!
Which Winter Tour is Best For You and Your Group
In the wintertime we run tours up in the mountains and out to the Knik Glacier. You just know the views from either tour are going to be incredible!
Deciding which tour is right for you may depend on your group’s ability level, age, and goals for your vacation. All of our tours require no prior experience!
Regardless of who you are bringing along, we have a tour that is right for everyone! Check out the highlights of our heated UTV and snowmobile tours to help you narrow down which adventure to choose for you and your group.
Ride in Our New Heated UTVs
Our heated UTVs are new to us this year and have been quite the hit! There’s a lot to love about these tours from the fully enclosed UTV, the comfort on the trail, and the breathtaking views once you reach the Knik Glacier.
This tour will lead you through the Knik Valley to look for wildlife, like moose or Dall Sheep, give you views of snowy mountains, and bring you across bright blue creeks until you arrive at the Knik Glacier. Drive right on to the frozen glacier lake when conditions allow, and get out to explore icebergs and see some deep glacier blue hues.
Apart from the incredible views, you’ll also enjoy quality time with your group. This makes for great social time as it feels like less of a tour and more of a hang out with those in your UTV – so make sure you like the people in your group!
During the drive you can also play your own music or catch up on an audiobook thanks to the bluetooth speakers. Which songs do you think will attract some moose?
Here are some more highlights to our Heated UTV Tours:
- This tour is suitable for any age. The UTVs can even hold a car seat!
- This tour is very accessible and can accommodate a range of folks
- The fully enclosed UTV allows for conversation as you drive

This tour is perfect for those who want beautiful views and more comfort. Bring anyone along who wants to see a glacier and have some fun out on the trail!
