We had so much fun. Both Joel and Tim were so knowledgeable about everything. I would recommend this to everyone. It's amazing where these trucks can go. In rivers, up sides of mountains, in a pond and out on the ice. Joel also taught us some good photography tricks.

Our tour with Joel was great! Tons of fun. We felt very safe and taken care of. We saw lots of moose and heard some great stories. The drone footage we were given after was a great souvenir. Would definitely recommend!

Very capable and local knowledgeable staff gave a great tour of the Denali area. We were in and out of moving water, up and down hills and climbing rocks and ice. The stories of area kept coming over the headsets. There was plenty of wildlife to be seen. We felt very safe the entire time. I would recommend this tour for anyone who wants to stay in the fun zone!

We had a fabulous 3hr hour tour with our tour guide, Mark. Luckily we saw three moose on our tour. We had an unexpected snow storm but that added to the fun. They run a very professional operation that is focused on safety. Highly recommend.

The sherp stays warm from start to finish, but.. be sure you wear warm clothes and shoes for the stops in the forest. This tour is well worth the cost !

Oh, what an experience! This 3-hour SHERP tour gave us a front-row seat to the raw, snow-covered wilderness of Alaska—something no other activity quite captures the same way. Our guide was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and patient. He shared fascinating stories about old Alaskan wilderness life, which made the entire journey even more engaging and fun. He also gave us time to just be kids—playing in the fresh snow, climbing little snow-covered hills, and sliding back down. Those moments made it extra special. They went above and beyond by capturing photos and videos for us throughout the tour. They even included drone footage at the beginning and end, and later shared a beautifully put-together video of the entire experience. The company was incredibly accommodating and even created a custom 2 PM tour slot that fit perfectly with our schedule. Length of visit: Plan for about 3 hours for the tour, plus an additional ~15 minutes for the pre-tour briefing. Atmosphere: Relaxed, fun, and immersive. Crowd size: Our group had 5 people, though the vehicle can likely accommodate one more. Staff: Friendly, professional, and very attentive throughout the experience. Best for: Everyone and all age groups. The only requirement is being able to climb about 4 steps to get into the truck—beyond that, there’s no physical activity involved. Highly recommend this experience if you’re visiting Healy. We’re already excited to come back and do it again in the summer when the landscape is lush and green and the rivers are flowing!

So beautiful! The trucks are fun and all the guys are great and nice! We were in Tim’s truck and he had the best knowledge and stories. The drone was a surprise and Can’t stop looking at the videos from it. Enjoyed every second!

Had an awesome tour with the team. They made it super fun and kept it safe. Took lots of pictures and made it a great time. If you’re on the fence about booking, just do it… it was so worth the drive and cost.
