This was an excellent way... - This was an excellent way to see a little of the back country, especially for those who are not fit hikers. The weather was cold and snowing but we were very comfortable Joel was very entertaining with a big personality, lots of knowledge about the area and the inhabitants. We enjoyed every minute.

Fun on the Fat Truck - This was the best. Tim was very knowledgeable and shared some education on the way of life in Alaska. It was very entertaining and the views were amazing

Fun adventure - While the rainy weather and low-lying clouds could have ruined the trip, our drivers made the best of it, and we had a great time. We were with Brittany - she was both personable and knowledgeable. Joel, the owner, was the other driver. He shared a lot of great information. I was thrilled when Brittany spotted a moose in the distance; we were given binoculars to see the moose (turned out there were three) and Joel flew his drone over the site so we could see them close up on his screen. It was a really fun experience; I highly recommend it

Unbelievable Tour - This is a family run local business that take pride in providing an excellent experience. Joel is the owner of the business and has thought of everything you might need to make the experience memorable. Stefan was our driver and guide for our SHERP in the 3 vehicle caravan. He was very knowledgeable about the local area and history and witty and hilarious. We tackled unbelievable grades to magnificent vistas, forded streams and floated on a lake. All I can say is book this tour. You won’t be disappointed.

Uncomfortable exchange with owner, wouldnt recommend - I felt like this tour was too focused on the fat trucks vs seeing denali. We didnt have the best weather but we talked to people that did the jeep tours into the park instead and I 100% would have done that instead. Those people went further into the park and despite the weather saw wildlife and even more views. Perhaps I didnt read the description of the tour enough because I booked it quick but definitely thought a "denali tour" would be more of a tour of denali. I reached out to the owner because he stated he would like us to reach out to him if we had a bad review, and I asked if there was any way I could get a partial refund due to the lack of seeing anything and not what I expected and he accused me of asking for a refund "or else" I will give a bad review. I was just trying to make it right on both sides and give him my honest opinion when he asked. I felt very uncomfortable after my exchange with the owner, and I would just tell people to Perhaps consider the jeep tours with a different company to see more of denali and not just be given a tour by a cop showing you their fancy toys which is what this felt like.
