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.

As the title said of was super fun- what I didn’t add that we were not exactly in our teens. The tour was well organized. Everyone participating were required to sign waivers and then were divided into groups. Looks like each family got their own vehicle. So it was just my hubby and me and the guide/driver. A private tour, I never expected that! Anyway Wyatt was a great kid and did an awesome job taking us on the trail. We didn’t get to see wildlife but he pointed out signs of animals’ presence. It had been dry the days before so there were many puddles to splash thru- darn, wanted to get dirty :) The geocaching part was pretty fun and at the end of it Wyatt brought out a “treasure chest” full of souvenirs that we could choose fun. And the lunch…. we ate at the restaurant instead of the community house (still included with the tour). The food was awesome! Before the ride started, we could pick out couple of cold beverages to put in the ice chest so we had something to drink on the trail. That 3 hours went by like lightening- before we knew it, we were back to eat lunch. Well worth the price!!

This was such a great trip! The guide was very knowledgeable. My boys are 3 and 5 and had a blast. The treasure hunt was a fun twist that kept them engaged. The food at lunch was great too!
