5.00Awesome first experience driving a snowmobile. Even with the warmer temperatures and less snow, the guide made sure we had a great time and got to really motor on the machines. The drive across the frozen lake was a highlight as well as seeing two beautiful bald eagles. Would definitely recommend this experience on your trip to Fairbanks!
Great tour and beautiful...

5.00This was really really fun! Kathy was great! We went out on a lake where we could "open it up" (Kathy was right, the machines accelerated really quick :-) ). This was one of the best things we did on our trip and I highly recommend this excursion!
