About
Join your guide on a very personal tour of the Alaskan Wilderness. This adventure has spectacular scenery and you are in control of your own journey. Stop whenever you want, take pictures of the beautiful scenery, laugh as you experience Alaska as it was meant to be, rough and wild! The ultimate back country exploration tour awaits!
Please, make sure you wear weather proper clothes! Lots of layers, Jacket, gloves and boots. We provide a helmet.
If you have hand warmers that is also a great thing to bring. Spring/Winter/Fall in Alaska can be harsh and cold. Certain weather can limit which roads and trails we can take as ATV machines do not handle heavy water or snow very well. We are located in an area that has light snow so a lot of the time we can go back country but sometimes we cant and we take you to fun and beautiful locations either way. We can still do the tour in all weather conditions so please be ready to have some fun in the wilds of Alaska.
