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 the best experience in our whole trip to Alaska.. The tour guide Evan was awesome and made the trip so much fun by taking us to amazing places in the ATV. The whole family which included a 10 year old had the best time with amazing views, rock picking at the river, treasure hunt, spotted a moose, drinks etc etc.. This will always be remembered and highly recommend and if you can ask for tour guide Evan...
