Great experience on a... - Great experience on a snowy rainy cloudy day. The drone videos are excellent. Although we don’t get to see many animals with bare eyes because of the season, floating on a river in an ATV is super cool.

Amazing!! Must do experience! - My mom and I had an AMAZING experience on our tour with Tim! The fat truck itself is incredible and an experience you just can’t miss! It was definitely cold outside but the truck is heated and comfortable. We saw a lot of wildlife on our tour. Our tour guide Tim was incredible knowledgeable and told us all about the geological area, the animals and the equipment (and anything else you wanted to know). He really made it a great experience!

A lot of fun. - A lot of fun. Really neat machine and our guide was a lot of fun. We were hoping to see some more wild-life but still very worthwhile. Stopped a couple of times to look around. Hung around longer than I would have liked but it did give multiple people a chance to sit in the front seat which is a great view. Definitely worth the money

This tour is a must...you will not be disappointed. - This is a family owned business and a MUST for anyone in the Denali area. We did the cruise tour with Holland America and booked through them and I can tell you we were not disappointed. Joel was our driver and he kept us laughing the whole way. The scenery was incredible. Joel made sure everyone was comfortable on the ride and even though it was bumpy, it was not uncomfortable. Loved going over the terrain and being in the lake. This was the best tour we have ever done!

Denali Fat Truck tour - This was a fun way to spend the day! The brothers had great banter, made everyone feel included, and openly shared some great stories. The fall foliage made the landscapes so breath taking. The location was also close to the entrance of Denali with some cool restaurants & shops. 49th State Brewing. Loved the quick day trip from Fairbanks.

A Must Do!!! - Visiting in the beautiful state of Alaska in Fairbanks. This is a MUST DO !!! 😃 This is an amphibious vehicle that can turn on dime, go on any terrain, it has great control going on steep slopes. Tim, the owner, takes you on a thrilling ride! Beautiful scenery along the way. I’m not going to give up all the details, but it is VERY FUN !!! 5 stars! it is a couple hours outside Fairbanks along some of the best scenery in the fall. But the drive is just an added bonus!
