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 excursion was such fun and we saw amazing views. The backcountry dining was delicious. Luke was an awesome guide. We highly recommend this tour. Although we enjoy driving our own ATV it was a delight having someone else drive so we could we enjoyed the scenery.

We had a great time! Kids loved it. Would have preferred the guide not use the F word and other profanity in from of the kids, but he was really nice. Probably just needs a reminder kids don’t hear that language normally.

Oh gosh if you would message us who your guide was that would be very helpful. I dont think they let us put our email or contact info on this form but you can message us if you can. Thank you

My kids (ages 10 and 12) and I had a blast. Stacy, our guide was awesome! We were riding on dirt roads, learning about the local environment and having a blast. The dinner was fresh and delicious. Overall, I would highly recommend this tour.
