Instructor was very friendly and made sure we were all comfortable with the safety precautions and mechanics of the vehicle. We lost our phone and he helped us find it in the snow after it had completely frozen solid in the snow. Was a very fun trip, cannot recommend high enough.

as an amazing experience riding the snowmobile and the views were out of this world. The crew at Alaska Wildlife Guide LLC were so friendly and made our first snowmobiling experience wonderful. Would 100% recommend this and I’m definitely coming back here.

This rating is NOT about the experience of snow machining. Do NOT go through Viator for any experience! They double book, cancel 10 hours before your experience, and leave you scrambling to find the same experience when you planned months in advanced. Had issues with both experiences we booked through them this trip. I will never use this company again!
