What To Expect
Enjoy transport from your Healy hotel and meet your guide for a personal tour of the rugged Alaskan wilderness. Begin with a brief safety training and information course. Learn the specific functions of your 4WD ATV machine then hop onboard for a practice drive, making sure you’re completely comfortable before heading out into the back country. If you prefer not to drive, you can join your guide on their 2-person vehicle. Once fitted with the proper helmet, safety goggles, gloves, and optional rain gear, it's time to be on your way. Head out onto the area’s old coal mining trails, which spill out onto the Dry Creek River Bed — an excavation site for Athabascan Indian artifacts. Stop to explore a broken-down cabin across the river and admire the local flora while soaking up the surrounding scenery. Continue up Black Diamond Peak for breathtaking views of the entire Healy Valley. Keep an eye out for wildlife and learn about local history from your professional guide as you go. Take frequent breaks to savor the mountain air, snap pictures, and simply bask in the beauty of the wild Alaska tundra on this thrilling ATV journey. Your tour concludes with hotel drop-off.

5.00A lot of fun! Not super sporty, but a beautiful off road tour. Treasure and George were our guides and did an excellent job keeping us safe and pointing out things of interest.
Lots of Fun!

4.00Lots of fun. Full two and a half hours of ATVing. The guide Elisha was great, kept leading me to more challenging routes as my skills improved. Riding around and through the river was the best.

5.00This was a surprise adventure for my husband. I told him we were going bird watching and he was down for that but when the Black Diamond bus came to pick us up I had to tell him. A guy in line asked him if he was going to play golf and he said no we are going bird watching. The guy just laughed. Much to his surprise we weren't going bird watching. We had a great time with our group. Dinner was wonderful and the ride was gorgeous. ATV's were in great riding condition and I felt safe the entire time. I would recommend this to anyone. I will say "you only go as fast as the slowest rider" so keep that in mind. I believe our max speed at a given time was 16mph on a straight path. It definitely gave you a chance to enjoy the scenery. We didn't get lucky enough to see wildlife, but it was a fantastic time and spent a great amount of time on the trails.
Great experience

5.00We had such a great time! The trails were amazing, and the scenery exceptional! Our guides, Jonathan and Mara were great, super outgoing, friendly and knowledgeable. We would definitely go again. Even my 71 year old dad had a great time!
Great ATV tour - don't miss out.

5.00We had the best time on the ATV Side-by-Side adventure. It was wet with lots of puddles, but we only got slightly mud-speckled. We were ready for a drenching of mud, but the type of ATV we used protected us. At one point, Ross, our guide, poured water out of his boots. It was at that time that we were thankful we were doing the side-by-side ATV adventure! He was nonchalant about it, so it must happen often to him! Our guide Ross was so knowledgeable about the area where we were riding and about Alaska in general. He drove at a speed that was comfortable for all participants. He mad it extra fun with his exuberance - you could tell he enjoyed his job. I highly recommend this tour.

5.00Fun afternoon with Black Diamond Resort riding a side by side with my husband. We were only ones on our tour. Guide, can't remember his name, was great! Rode all over on fun trails through lots of puddles! We stopped 5 times for scenic views/pictures. Would definitely recommend BDR!
Waste of time

3.00If you want to just outside and ride around in a ATV, it is OK. Zero adventure, zero wildlife...not even signs of any wildlife, we rode around in circles and places where we should have stopped for pictures we just rode by. We stopped at some cabin (waste of time) and a pile of junk that apparently the "guides" drop off and then shoot with shotguns...kind of nuts. The guide talked a lot and seemed to just waste time. If you buybthe food option, don't waste your money! There are other options in that area...explore them first before booking with these folks.
