FAQ
What is the best time of the day to go?
With almost 24 hours of daylight during most of our summer tours, there is no difference between the morning, afternoon, and evening departures! Choose which one fits into your schedule best. You may think that 8 am sounds early but consider time zone changes. Wildlife usually prefer the cool of the morning.
Is this a guided tour?
All Denali ATV trips are guided by professional, knowledgeable guides. There is always a front guide leading the tour group, and a back guide.
I've never been on an ATV before. Will I be able to do this?
Absolutely! Our experienced guides will facilitate your experience, and there’s a short practice session before the main tour. No experience is necessary for single ATVs, and side-by-side ATVs are easy to drive, similar to a car.
What should I wear on my ATV tour?
Wear clothing appropriate for all weather and trail conditions. Layers are best in Denali, including a wind/rain layer. Choose clothing that can get dirty or wet. Closed-toe shoes are required, and sturdy sneakers or boots are recommended for the tour.
ARE THERE WEIGHT OR HEIGHT RESTRICTIONS?
Not really! Customers need to be able to fit into a helmet but we go all the way up to 4XL! Kodiak ATVs – 460 lbs, no height limit. Side by Side ATVs – over 1000 lbs total; height is tricky but we have had guests over 6’7 on tour!
WHAT IS THE AGE LIMIT TO DRIVE AN ATV?
Alaska State law requires all ATV drivers to be 16 years of age or older. Our policy is: Single ATV – 18 to drive, but 16 with parental permission and valid Driver’s License or government issued ID showing age. Side-by-Side ATV – 18 to drive with a valid Driver’s License or government issued ID showing age.
Are there restrooms?
Port-a-potties are located at the Denali ATV Launch site.
No restroom facilities on trail, just mother nature! Alert the nearest guide with hand signals and they will direct you to a good area.
WILL I BE ABLE TO STOP, AND TAKE PICTURES?
There are designated stopping points during each tour, at scenic points and overlooks. If the tour sees moose or other animals, the tour can stop to take pictures. At any point during your tour, if you need to stop, simply alert a guide.
