Fantastic experience

5.00We had a fantastic time on our ATV and snowmobiling tour with Alfie. Alfie was super friendly with our whole group and very knowledgeable about snowmobiling and the mountain. He gave clear instructions for operating both the ATVs and the snowmobiles and then did a short training ride to help us get used to the snowmobiles. My son is under 48 inches, so he rode with Alfie and loved it. We did fun riding on the snowmobiles and had a couple of chances to stop to appreciate the view and take pictures. Highly recommend the tour and Alfie.
Amazing tour, great for families.

5.00We had an amazing time out with Andy! It was a beautiful scenic ride through the woods with amazing views of the mountains, and some adrenaline fuelled fun. Andy was fantastic and explained everything really well, catered the tour really well to the group ability! We did with our nephews as passengers and they had the best time, bumping around the snowy trails with some great speed runs! Would definitely recommend!!
Great experience!!

5.00Very cool adventure. Guides Tim and Brock were very funny, professional and easy going. Price was affordable and it was 3h of riding vehicle including training. I think this is best for people who want to try something new in this frozen land!

5.00We would thoroughly recommend this experience. We were all novices and Andy took great care of us. He explained everything very clearly and was responsive to questions, making us feel at ease. Riding a snowmobile was so much fun and the mountain scenery was spectacular. All the tracks were well covered in snow despite the recent persistent rainfall. We all mastered snowmobiling in our session and felt exhilarated by the experience. Andy was a fantastic instructor.
Fabulous time!
