DT6 was exceptional from start to finish - all equipment provided was top-notch, we got on the water and casting in a very short time, and Dan was extremely professional and friendly. The whole charter was a learning experience and just an amazing day. Whether you are a tourist or a local- this is the kind of charter you want for the full Alaska experience. DT6 tries their hardest and commits to giving you the best opportunities to catch your limit and strives to make the trip everything you could want it to be. We are proud to have supported this veteran-owned business and can't wait until our next charter. Thanks Dan and Sonia!

My guide, Jerrid, knew exactly which lake would be the most fruitful based on where we were staying in Talkeetna - making it super convenient to get to. Would also be an easy trip if you're in Anchorage. AND we caught half a dozen gorgeous arctic char, even one within the first 5 minutes! Of the three weeks I spent in Alaska, Deadstick ice fishing was hands down the highlight of my trip. Jerrid was an expert of the lakes in the area, a very patient teacher for a first time fisher, and went out of his way to ensure we were having a great time. Would do again in an instant!

Our guide Jack was particularly amazing but everyone we met at Alaska Backcountry Adventure Tours were experts in their field, extremely friendly and accommodating. The Brand new ATV's were so much fun to drive in the Alaska Countryside! The guides do a great job of stopping and sharing knowledge about everything you see along the way! Everything is Included! Not only do they include lunch, snacks and water for the entire journey, they also outfit you with all the necessary outerwear you might need. As a larger guy I was a little nervous as most places don't carry my sizes. Not only could they accommodate me easily they even had sizes up to 5x. If you are on the fence about this tour definitely pull the trigger. They will take great care of you and this tour will be the highlight of your trip!

We really had an amazing day. Everything was top notch and overall perfect experience. Our tour…read moreguides Ian and Brady were the best. Where to begin. First we have done ATV in Mexico and in Hawaii on some amazing backdrops. This by far was the best. The machines were perfect and so was the equipment. They had great gear that kept a lot of the mud, dust and water out. It can't be avoided completely but they do everything in their power. I was hesitant about having to wear a helmet but have to say it is a must. As you fly through the trails at catch an errant tree limb this takes it like a champ. We loved getting to the glacier and then getting the option to polar plunge in the glacier. They made it easy and encouraged it. The food and snacks exceeded our expectations and we had the perfect amounts of stops. We saw 3 moose and two of the three were a mother/baby pair. So cute for sure. We saw eagles fly over head too. This was just amazing and the staff made us feel a part of their family. The sand dunes were a blast in these machines. So many good things to say.

Note that the few glowing reviews on here for this company - are from years ago. This review…read morereflects an experience in 2022. Maybe things have changed in that time. Beware of this tour company. They give you so little for the amount they charge, and their customer service is beyond poor. They asked for our flight itinerary, and were very careful to book us an additional night at full room rate at the start since we were coming in at 1 am, but we were charged full rate, ~$300.00 for room for the return day, yet on our return we were flying out that early evening and didn't need it. We asked for a refund because we weren't going to use the room and they refused, saying no refunds of any kind if it's 90 days or less. So we had to bear the cost of the unused room, and the included breakfast, yet had to pay for an additional night at the beginning. They could've just switched the extra day if they were more careful, but we trusted them. Also, cheaping out, the extra day at the beginning, they didn't include breakfast, on purpose. Most of the lunches included on the tour are cold box lunches. Dinners never included desserts, and nothing Market price, and on top of that, the itinerary was really quite poor for the price. There was a full day that they included nothing on! The bus was extremely small with tiny seats, cramped conditions. Overall we were very disappointed, especially since we have been to Alaska twice before, and it was done far better. Others in our group seemed to feel the same way. We would never use this company again, or recommend them.

Capt David knew where to go- was fun, courteous and very helpful to everyone- novices and experienced fishermen/women! Our First Mate was Ashlyn- who is from Hawaii!

What a fun day we all had- all thanks to David and Ashlyn for such a successful day of fishing! Thanks to them we are taking lots of fish back to Georgia!

I live in Alaska and try to do yearly charters, but this was the worst fishing charter I have ever…read morebeen on! Captain Dave was not personable at all and the only time he talked to us he accused my boyfriend of marking his spots which he was only looking for the clam fishery place to show me as he went there as a kid. The only deck hand was a 16-year-old girl who was sweet but for the number of people that were fishing that day on such rough waters (it was awful weather), we really needed another person to help or a more experienced one. I had to do most of the rebating of my hooks, which again I can do but this scared me as I was not comfortable catching a swinging hook close to the size of my hand in the air as it bangs against the boat. Even the young girl kept commenting how on days like this they need more than one deckhand job as captain dave put her in charge of 5 people at the front of the boat and he took charge of a single-family in the back of the boat. We had stopped at 3 different locations with no one catching anything except the occasional flounder. As the trip was coming closer to the end (7th hour on the boat) Captain Dave approached me and my boyfriend and said, "you need to decide whether we move to another location or keep trying to fish here", he was clearly agitated and added in as I told him that I didn't know, "if I make the decision to move again (this would be move #4) and we don't catch anything people will be mad at him for always moving" I told him again that I didn't know again and he walked back inside and said that he will wait for a decision, the other family that was fishing helped me decide to move as that sounded like what captain dave wanted to do. As I went inside to get ready to move the other family that attended was a grandfather, father, and son trio who had hooked a fish as we were loading to go but they had to try and gavel it, he ended up losing the fish. Captain and deckhand were inside and I heard captain dave snicker and say "oh he should have waited for us" that family was left out there alone and had no way to call for help and later on the grandfather stated that he tried getting anyone's attention by waving his hands but no one noticed him. I am ok if I get a charter and don't catch anything but to have this kind of treatment and behavior was awful. the deckhand did state that fishing that day was bad but as we got off had to step over the large catch from another charter "crazy rays" which I do HIGHLY recommend. I also got more communication from that captain in just a few mins worth than I did from captain dave the whole trip and I got to see the HUGE amount of fish that he hauled in, it was impressive. I DO NOT recommend Alaska Good Time Charters but definitely book early to get into Crazy Rays charters, they cost a little more and fill up quickly but for a better experience and a higher chance of catching fish, I wouldn't do it any other way again. Don't waste your money with Alaska Good Time Charter!
