This was the most amazing tour! The CanAms were safe and fun. Our guide was PHENOMENAL (THANK YOU JACK!!). Plenty of time on tour to stop and enjoy the view along with grabbing a bottle of water and/…Full review by Lori R
Which is better for this tour, and ATV or side by side? The ATV looks like more fun (I have the necessary experience), but wondering if it hurts your hand to hold the gas for this amount of time.

As a couple, we used the side by side which was just so much fun and our guide made sure we took our turns at the wheel if you wanted to switch. If you are experienced and want to do a single, they take frequent breaks throughout the trek to Knik Glacier (make sure you do the whole day trip!) - So it is not like you are going full throttle the whole time. They are a great excursion group with excellent guides that if you had any concerns, they are more than happy to help. Give them a call, very nice people and their main concern is that their customers have a great adventure.

I don’t care if I drive, do which is better the side by side or reg ATV? I know you can’t control seeing wildlife but do you see some?

My boyfriend and I are considering an Alaska trip this August and this sounds amazing. He hasn't ever been on a 4wheeler before, and I'm a very big girl (375 +/-). Do you have equipment and trips that would accommodate us both?
A:
Hey Lori, Thanks for the great question. Our side by sides should be able to accommodate both of you riding together no problem. We have some 3X and 4X sizes. If you want to …
Hey Lori, Thanks for the great question. Our side by sides should be able to accommodate both of you riding together no problem. We have some 3X and 4X sizes. If you want to you can email me your clothing sizes I can make sure we have gear that will be comfortable for you. You’ll also want to wear a couple of layers so generally you will wear a size larger raincoat than your typical shirt size. Anyway, feel free to reach out further for more information about sizing. We look forward to meeting you! Matti

Hello, yes there certainly is! We can have you two ride as passengers in a side by side and a guide can drive you. It is a great experience it makes it possible for you two to be able to talk and enjoy the scenery while the guide takes care of the driving.
