5.00This was a fabulous adventure! We were lucky enough to be driven by owner Joel and it was such a treat! He is a natural storyteller and answered all our questions along the way with grace and humor. Definitely schedule this opportunity and ask Joel about the bear in the Carhartts!

5.00We booked this without knowing what to expect, but left feeling like this was the best part of our trip to Alaska. I came with my best friend and 11 year old niece and we all had an amazing time. We were lucky enough to be in Joel’s SHERP, and loved the ride, his knowledge and story telling, and the video we got to take home at the end of the trip. Denali was already a highlight, and this put it over the top.

5.00Absolutely incredible unique experience on terrain no other vehicle can transverse and without even making an environmental impact. Includes use of excellent binoculars. Views and knowledgable information given were outstanding. Bonus video of our tour taken with a drone included. Plus an awesome photography lesson thrown in so we got some incredible photos we wouldn't have been able to get without this. A once in a lifetime experience.
