The trip…read morestarted out where we got all of our instruction and gear including helmets that fit each family member and then we got a short explanation about how to drive each of the Honda four wheelers for my two daughters they got a automatic transmission version as well as a two seat version which was helpful. We started up with Ken and he made sure to watch us so that we didn't fall too far behind or miss a turn. He also took every opportunity to shoot photos where there were good scenic viewpoints. We also crossed a stream. And he shot a video of us crossing the stream. If you are looking for a good ATV adventure I would say don't go any further and book this excursion. The trails are difficult enough to make it fun for everybody and then not so difficult where it becomes overwhelming.

Alaska Off-Road Adventures…read more What a ride! This was hands-down one of the best experiences we had while visiting Alaska; it's an incredibly unique way to get out and see the amazing mountain views and Alaskan terrain. Whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced ATV rider, Alaska Off-Road Adventures has something for everyone. Ken took the time to get us acquainted with the vehicles and then led us on a fun ride over many varying terrain elements. He had a wonderful personality and really made this trip feel special. We had 4 drivers and 1 rider with varying degrees of ATV-familiarity and by the end of the tour every single one of us had grins from ear-to-ear (and just the right amount of mud splattered on us!). Ken's ATV tour is something that my family still talks about months after our trip. If you're choosing between activities while visiting, or passing through, Talkeetna, I can't recommend this tour enough! It blows your run-of-the-mill tour out of the water!

This was a great trip and well worth every penny. We had a very large group and they did a great job and keeping everyone organized and safe. We started with a brief history tour which was neat and then headed off to check out an old cabin and lastly we were off to Dennis' place. This was where we had lunch, hung out and checked out the amazing sites. We then had a chance to fire off a couple of rounds, pan for gold and then head back. This never felt rushed and we all had a great time. This gives you the true Alaskan experience and never felt cheesy or super touristy. I highly recommended you check them out.

It felt like we were playing follow the leader for 5 mi up and 5 mi back on a largely straight trail. The endpoint is a lovely home with a picturesque stream but we were expecting that once we got there we'd actually be able to freestyle on the ATVs a bit. This was simply our expectations, there's nothing in their advertising that says this will happen. Even so, if you're hoping to have an exciting ride, this was kind of tame. We never really got above 15 mph on the trail. The guides were great, nothing against them. Just really missed our expectations. Based on the other reviews, most people seem to love it.

The pilots are all knowledgeable and qualified. The flight time was much longer than expected, the landing was unbelievable- how amazing we LANDED on a glacier and took off again! I flew with KYLE and he was so patient and answered everyone's questions. He knew all the peaks and glaciers by name. It is 100% worth the price and absolutely THE THING TO DO since you're coming to the interior to see Denali! Lots of restrooms, glacier boots to keep your feet dry and plenty of room in the plane!

The guides were truly amazing. They made you feel so safe and comfortable, while really making sure everyone themselves. They were very funny and always smiling. Great operation.

However, their excellent instructors give clear, simple instructions that are reinforced throughout your 2 and a half hour journey through the canopy.

There we tons of songbirds seranading us in the trees. The last two zips near the lake were my favorite. Simply beautiful. Also really enjoyed the rappel. We are already planning our next ziplining adventure with their sister company in Seward which apparently includes 3 rappels.

Stronger than it may seems. Park itself is very small but a great place to spot Mt Denali on a good day. Mountain is not always visible but chances of seeing the mountain is an early morning. Sun might rise around 4 or so in the summer but that's the best time to come to the park if mountain may show their face. We were in town for three days. On the last day, the weather finally cleared up and there! Oh it was so beautiful, I stood there admiring the mountain for a long time. My in keeper said only 10% of visitors get to see the mountain, and I felt very lucky to be that 10%. Other than that, this is a very small park.

From the moment we were picked up right on time at our lodging and driven to base camp, everything was organized and professional. Our guide, Shane, was outstanding. As complete first-time fishermen, we appreciated how instructive, knowledgeable, personable, and incredibly patient he was. He got us fitted with waders, explained everything clearly, and made us feel comfortable and confident throughout the trip. The private spin fishing excursion itself was an absolute blast. While we only landed one beautiful rainbow trout, the experience was never about the number of fish. Shane's enthusiasm, encouragement, and sense of humor made every cast enjoyable, and the breathtaking scenery made the day unforgettable. The exhilarating boat ride down the river was an adventure in itself and added even more excitement to an already fantastic outing. If you're looking for an authentic Alaskan fishing experience with a top-notch guide who genuinely wants you to have a great time, we highly recommend Phantom Tri River Charters. Thank you, Shane, for creating memories we'll never forget!
