5.00We never ride snowmobile before so was a little nervous at the beginning. But our guide gave us a very thorough instruction and had everyone make a few circles before heading out. We felt safe and warm even though it’s a very cold day. Our guide checked us several times during the ride to make sure everyone was comfortable. It’s a cool experience. If you never tried snowmobiling before, I highly recommend it. You won’t regret it!
Our favorite experience in Fairbanks

5.00AMAZING EXPERIENCE I went with my dad and had the most amazing time. Everything was really well planned. The facilities were very nice and everything worked like a clock. When we arrived, they checked us in and made sure we had the proper gear. They lend us boots. Then we had an intro to riding the snowmobile and took some laps around a mini course to get settled in. The tour lasted about 30-45min and the views were breathtaking. The snowmobile had heated hand holders and the helmet was also heated. I was worried about the transportation but the day before they sent some links to available shuttles. We booked with them for 50dll pp round trip. Best decision because they picked us on time at our hotel and returned just after finishing our ride. Be sure to arrive at least 30min before your starting hour to get geared. They also had dog sledding, which we didnt know before arriving. Would recommend that too because of the great facilities and how organized everything was!

5.00What a wonderful experience!!!! Our guide, Josh Cargle was the best. I was a little nervous at first, but he helped me feel so comfortable! Before the first hour was up I had no problems giving the gas! I would highly recommend this company and I will book again when I get back to Alaska!
Josh is the best! Magnificent trails!

5.00Josh was excellent - helpful, patient and was the best instructor for us newbies! We had to stop because of a mama moose with a baby. He got us on the far side of the snow machine but showed everyone where the moose was! Trails were beautiful and loved the variety of the trails!
Great time!

5.00We had Victoria as our snowmobile instructor in Alaska and she made the entire experience incredible. She was knowledgeable, calm, and made sure we felt comfortable every step of the way. Riding through Alaska’s snowy landscapes was unforgettable, and a big part of that was thanks to her. Truly appreciate everything she did for us! 🥰🥰🥰
Very Happy Repeat Customer

5.00Josh was our guide and he was an amazing instructor, it was both of our first time getting on a snow machine. His instructions were simple and he made us feel safe. We got to do a nice trial and at the end we got to hit it full speed. It was fun! It was snowing pretty hard so we got a really good experience of riding in Alaska! It was great! Thank you for the nice ride Josh! They also have nice warm gloves, jackets and boots. I really appreciated that, the handles and helmet were heated as well!
