    Cancellation Policy

    Day tours: 100% refund 2+ weeks before; 50% refund at least a week before; less than a week (including no-shows) 100% of the tour fee applies. Full refund if the operator cancels due to weather, mechanical failure, or another unavoidable reason.

    FAQs

    Wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty, plus a long-sleeved shirt, pants, and tall socks. Bring layers and a water-resistant or windproof outer layer, since you can get wet and muddy. You may bring a backpack, snacks, and a way to take pictures—anything you bring can get very dirty.

    Review summary

    157 reviews•Google Maps

    This ATV adventure earns consistent praise for its exceptional guides and spectacular scenery along the Knik River Valley to the glacier. Reviewers consistently single out guides like Kevin, Jeremiah, and Tim for being knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely fun to ride with. The staff goes above and beyond on customer service too—Rachel gets multiple shoutouts for being flexible with rescheduling and quick to solve problems when they arise. Equipment is top-notch, with well-maintained UTVs and all necessary gear provided, including boots, gloves, and rain gear. The full-day tour to the Knik Glacier seems to be the standout experience, with travelers raving about the diverse terrain covering mud, sand, water crossings, and river beds. Many wish they'd booked the longer tour instead of the half-day option. The lunch at the glacier gets special mention, particularly the salmon tacos. Even groups with little ATV experience felt comfortable and safe throughout. Multiple reviewers call this their favorite part of their entire Alaska trip, which speaks volumes about the quality of the experience you can expect here.
