Testimonials

  This is a family owned business and they are top notch. I would recommend Alaska Backcountry..Mattie and Dan anyone. We did the half day tour w/Dan and Phil... read more and I wished we would have done the full day. The area is stunning with mountains, trees, creeks, hills, silt and rock trails and perfect views of the Knik Glacier. Even though we were all accustom to riding, this ride on these trails and streams was way more than any of us could have imagined. Picture perfect. Dan made sure to capture tons (200+) photos that he then just shared with our group. They are running a low key TOP notch operation. We were fitted with all the gear we would need for the day, helmets, goggles, gloves rain pants and jackets. As a very nice surprise we were treated to Hot Cocoa and trail mix about half way through are ride. they were all eager to answer any questions we had and share their knowledge of the beautiful Alaska scenery. Even if you have never ridden a UTV of 4 wheeler this is a MUST do adventure. Not a scary or questionable moment the entire day. They will make sure you are comfortable and safe. Thank you to Alaska Back Country for an AWESOME adventure.

  One of the best times I've ever had. Even hubby, who is NOT adventurous, enjoyed it. The guides are wonderful! Dan is the man!! Gorgeous trails and... read more scenery. Cannot wait to do it again!

  My wife and I went on the all day ATV ride to Knik glacier and it was awesome. Absolutely the highlight of our trip. These guys took care of us... read more every step of the way. Checking in with Mattie was a breeze. She made sure we had wet weather gear, boots, helmets and gloves and we were comfortably dry the entire trek. Brady was our guide and he was awesome. So much fun to hang out with. He made sure we were comfortable the entire time, cooked us lunch at the glacier, jumped in the icy water! and was on the lookout the entire time for wildlife. Unfortunately, we didn't see any moose, bears etc but honestly that didn't matter. We had such a good time. I'll recommend these guys all day long. We are already talking about coming back in the winter and doing one of the winter trips.

  We first saw this company featured on an Amazon Prime show Dan Redfield’s “Alaska Photoventures” during the Pandemic. We have been on countless tours in countless states and countries.... read more There’s always some hesitation for us—and personally I am usually a lot more pulled back in a tour group than flying solo. This place though, it’s the real deal: a gem posing as just your average tour company in stunning Alaska. First off, if you’re worried about clean, professional, and organized: look no further than this company. Everything exceeded our expectations in this department. Our guide was Brady (you know….like Tom Brady or The Brady Bunch), this guy was not only informative, helpful, and an exceptionally good rider, he was amped to be there and working with our group! Dan and Mattie were just the sweetest and most knowledgeable people I’ve met on a tour. The location and the track were amazing on the full day as well, but it’s Alaska—need I say more? The best advice I can give anyone touring or thinking about touring with them is: if you have a question or concern to just simply ask. I know it is hard to come off as worried or unsure about expectations; at this company, there is zero judgement! These people genuinely just want to have fun doing what they love and they want to share that with their customers. I made so many bonehead moves on the tour and I am somewhat familiar with quads. The team here just want everyone to be safe and have a great time. So go sign up for one of their tours—you won’t be disappointed. If you don’t want to believe me then read any of the other 5 star reviews….there is no shortage of them.

  If you only do one thing in Alaska this is definitely the one to do if you are an adventurous person. This was by far our favorite excursion. ... read more We loved it so much we skipped going to Fairbanks and went back to Anchorage so that we could do this one more time. This trip has it all... mud, water, flats, hills, sand dunes, glacier. We had Brady both times and he was awesome!! He was very informative and made sure we were comfortable on the machines. He tried hard to keep an eye out for wildlife. Actually found a mouse and calf on first and sheep and bald eagle on next. He even cooked us a hot lunch at Knik Glacier. He took great photos that he shared. This Tour is definitely worth it. The owners are fabulous!! They make sure you have everything you need for an enjoyable ride and provide all the right gear.
Thank you for such an AWESOME time!!!!

The food was good too. Our group was vegetarian and they accommodated us.

  This was our favorite excursion. My 5 y/o & I spent 3 weeks adventuring AK.

He even talked about survival tips on our hot coco break.
Absolutely would do it again.

  We did the all day tour, to the glacier and it was great! After watching a video of someone else taking the tour I decided that this tour looked like... read more fun and was worth adding an extra day to our stay in Palmer for. Ian was our guide and made the tour so much fun for everyone. We went over alot of different types of terrain and Ian did a great job of explaining what was coming up and how to navigate it on the frequent quick breaks. This was hands down our favorite tour that we have done in Alaska. We enjoyed plenty of time in front of the glacier and Ian cooked up a delicious hot meal. This tour is 100% worth it and the company really obviously cares about thier customers and making sure everyone has a good experience. They provided everything needed to stay dry and their gear and machines seem very well cared for. Thank you for the great time!
