5.00Our family of three had an excellent time with Denali Fat Truck Tours. The weather outside was extremely cold, even for Alaska, but we were well taken care of inside the fat truck. While we didn't spot any wildlife this particular day, we did get to see beautiful Denali and enjoyed our visit very much. Would do again when back in this area of Alaska!
Well worth it.

5.00Was a great/interesting ride in the vehicle, nice views and sites visited. Tim is a super interesting person and very knowledgeable. Joel, being a State Trooper, provided some great driving safety information regarding the roads/drivers up there that I became very aware of the potential issues during the rest of our travels.
Best Tour out of Fairbanks!

5.00Such a fun afternoon…experienced, fun, knowledgeable and welcoming group of tour operators!! We come to Alaska several times a year and have been on many different tours…this is hands down, the best and most welcoming guides we have met. The views were stunning, the Sherpa vehicles were comfortable and what they can do is amazing and the team goes above and beyond to ensure your comfort and enjoyment. We are coming back to do it again in January. Don’t miss this tour!
A must do if you're ever in Denali!
