What To Expect

Black Diamond Resort Company

Enjoy complimentary transport from your Healy hotel to Black Diamond Resort Co, where you’ll embark on a family-friendly backcountry treasure hunt. After a short safety briefing, you'll hop aboard your own Polaris Ranger, outfitted with seat belts, a windshield and cover. It’s similar to a small open-air Jeep but sports the exciting flair of an ATV. Then, head out into the wilds of Alaska with your professional guide. Navigate the back country trails, searching for hidden secrets, granite rocks, and additional clues that bring you closer and closer to finding your treasure: a rustic pavilion in the woods where a camp-style meal awaits. Traverse old mining paths that spill out onto the Dry Creek River Bed, stop on a whim to take in the surrounding scenery, or walk along the tundra and travel up the side of Black Diamond Peak for spectacular views of the Healy Valley — all the while working together to strategize and plan your next moves.

Cancellation Policy

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

This was an awesome excursion and we had so much fun! Gorgeous views and interesting information from our guide. Jonathan was fantastic, so friendly, and gave us the best adventurous ride. Our cheeks ached from smiling and laughing so much. Food was delicious. They did such a great job. I would do this excursion again.

We took the ATV ride with Evan - WOW ! What a blast. That was one of the highlights of our trip/cruise to Alaska. We even saw a moose! The food was very tasty. Evan was a great guide / driver. This is a must do when in Denali!
