About Denali ATV Adventures
For more than 16 years, Denali ATV has injected fuel-driven thrills alongside those of the beauty of the Alaskan wilderness through guided ATV tours. As a local, family owned and operated a small business, we want our staff and guests to feel like family as well. Exceptional customer service, passion for our environment, and care for each other define us. The Denali ATV Tour Office is steps away from the main entrance of Denali National Park and tours depart just 10 miles north, in Healy. Our season is short and extreme! ATV tours depart every day, all day, in all weather, Early-May to Mid-September.
Denali ATV is part of the Denali Park Adventures tour family which operates Denali Park Zipline, Denali Jeep Excursions, and Denali Toy Rentals.
The Employee Experience
Working at Denali ATV Adventures, each staff member will have the opportunity to live, work, and play right outside the 3rd largest national park in America, which is home to the largest mountain in North America! After your adventure-filled day of working alongside like-minded staff, you will have plenty of time to explore, hike, camp and many other activities under the midnight sun of Alaska.
Every staff member is vital to the continued success and growth of our company! We strive to facilitate an experience of fun, knowledge, ample recreation activities, team-building opportunities, and plenty of networking. We enjoy investing in our staff in many ways and look forward to the staff that returns year after year. Take a look at our videos and see for yourself a fraction of the activities you can participate in and a brief glimpse of what life looks like here in the interior of Alaska.
We are committed to the health and safety of our staff and guest! We are constantly following and updating protocols based on the guidelines from the CDC, State of Alaska and Denali Borough.
