I can not recommend Alaska Backcountry Adventure Tours highly enough! We thoroughly enjoyed our day trip to Knik Glacier. From the moment I called to book our excursion to the... read more moment we walked out of the door at the end of our trip, we were met with smiling, friendly faces and people eager to make our trip the best it could be. This family loves Alaska and it shows! I recommend that everyone visiting this amazing state takes this tour. You can’t beat riding up to a glacier on an ATV and eating a deliciously prepared hot lunch before heading back. Phenomenal!

  Highly recommend! Truly an unforgettable experience that I will never forget and the highlight of my vacation to Alaska! The owners and guides are super friendly and will go out... read more of their way to make sure you have fun! I will be back!

  If you google "ATV tours to glaciers" you will be bombarded with results, lucky for you, there's only one you should consider- Alaska Backcountry Adventure Tours. I did this tour... read more a day before I was leaving back to Colorado and it was incredible. Not only are the staff next level, but the entirety of the ATV tour was nothing I've ever experienced before, and I travel A LOT. There's no better way to see the vast Alaska wilderness than on your own ATV or side by side. The best part of the trip is when you first see the glacier outlook, it's absolutely breathtaking. Do yourself a favor and hop on this adventure, you won't be disappointed!

  Everything about this trip was great. From booking our reservations, to the views, the exciting and fun ride, quality equipment and gracious/helpful tour guide. The only thing missing... read more was wildlife. But we were too busy having a great time to spot any wildlife. We would do it again, only next time take the full day trip all the way to the glacier.

  After a flight to Denali was canceled due to weather, we decided to do an on-the-ground adventure and go ATVing. We found Alaska Backcountry Adventure Tours through another place we... read more called first and, wow, we are so glad. Maddy and Dan are the owners and truly run a top rate business — all focused on delivering the best (and safe!) client experience. They were incredibly flexible with our schedule (we had some time restrictions), provided rain coats, pants, boots, gloves and helmets so you don’t have to worry about getting your clothes ruined. (BTW, they are the only company that provides this type of gear). The ATVs are new and super easy to maneuver. And the trails were incredible!

Dan was our personal guide — he led at the perfect pace, gave clear instructions for maximum safety and fun. Half way through we stopped at a beautiful spot for a snack and hot chocolate (which they provided). Dan took pictures and videos of us throughout the 3 hour ride and simply airdropped them to my phone (no extra charges for our own pix!).

The time went so fast and after we were done we said we can’t wait to come back for the full day experience.

If you are looking for a great time, a first rate run operation and incredibly nice people to enjoy time with, I HIGHLY recommend Alaska Backcountry Adventure Tours. You can’t go wrong!

  Dan & Aaron were amazing! It was an easy check-in, getting geared up, and instructed on riding the atvs. Aaron was our guide and was wonderful. He's very knowledgeable about... read more the area (he's been doing it for quite some time now), humble and personable. But I also need to mention the landscape!!! The beauty the Knik Glacier is!! Our 8 hour+ tour was unlike anything we experienced during our vacation in Alaska. We even tried booking for another tour but timing didn't work out! We will be back for sure.

  I'm not sure on the spelling of their names but Maddy,Erin,Dan and the whole family were so sweet, welcoming and professional beginning to end.! Their facility and equipment were nice... read more and clean. The ride was beautiful leading up to the glacier and the cherry on top was a delicious lunch. all around great experience. God bless this establishment.!

  I want to preface my review of Alaska Backcountry Adventure Tours of Denali National Park by saying as a former shuttle bus driver in Denali National Park and a Park... read more Service employee there I have an intimate knowledge of Denali and what to expect from a guided tour of Denali. I was acting as a tour guide of Alaska for my wife as she had never been to the state and the tour of Denali was to be one of our highlights. We were not disappointed. Our driver Justin was extremely knowledgeable about the geology, plant life, wildlife, and history of Denali and Kantishna. He was very personable, excellent at spotting game, a good driver, and very accommodating at stops for photos of game and Denali. Yes the mountain was out in all it’s glory and we took lots of pictures.
We saw an unusually high amount of game. We viewed 25 bears, 22 Dall sheep, 40-50 caribou, 3 cow moose, marmots, eagles, ground squirrels, voles, and falcons. We had close ups of bull caribou and bears next to the
bus.
The 92 mile trip to Kantishna takes 6 hours and when we arrived at Backcountry Lodge in Kantishna we had a 2.5 hour layover with lunch and activities. The lunch served was ample and tasty. The activities were gold panning, historical walk, or botanical walk. We then made the 6 hour return trip back to the park entrance.
I highly recommend taking snacks, drinks, camera, binoculars, insect repellent, sunglasses, hand sanitizer. Masks are required.
It was the tour of a lifetime and absolutely worth every penny.
I highly recommend Alaska Backcountry Adventure Tours and no I am not a paid spokesperson.
