5.00We had Gabriel as our tour guide. Not only was he an absolute professional with keeping us all safe and guiding our tour but his laughs were 100% contagious! Our group had so much fun with Destination NWT Limited, we wish we count have spent an entire day with the team and Gabriel! (Also, thanks for letting us take the best “awkward family photos!”

5.00We had an amazing snowmobile experience in ! The owner was incredibly friendly and welcoming from the very beginning. He explained everything clearly, including all the safety instructions, and made sure we felt confident before starting the ride. Even though we had no prior snowmobiling experience, it was surprisingly easy to learn thanks to his detailed training and guidance. He was also very caring and attentive throughout the trip, always checking to make sure no one was left behind. He gave very clear instructions on how to communicate using hand gestures while riding across the lake, which made the whole experience feel safe and well organized.
Great experience

5.00Gabriel gave our family and unforgettable experience! From the moment we met him, his energy was absolutely contagious. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does — and that excitement made the entire snowmobile tour feel extra special. He was incredibly patient, thorough with safety instructions, and made sure everyone felt confident before we hit the trails. Once we got going, his enthusiasm never dropped. He pointed out beautiful scenery, checked in on us often, and kept the vibe fun and upbeat the entire time. It felt less like a standard tour and more like an adventure with a friend who was genuinely excited to share the experience. What really stood out was how attentive he was to our family as a group. He made sure we were comfortable, took amazing photos for us, and created such a positive, welcoming atmosphere. His passion for the outdoors and for giving people a memorable experience truly shines through. If you’re considering a snowmobile tour, ask for Gabriel — you won’t regret it. He turned a fun activity into an unforgettable experience for our whole family. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

5.00Leon was very thorough in his safety briefing making sure everyone had a full understanding of what is required for a safe and fun adventure. Then the ride. Magnificent beauty riding the trails through natures terrain on lakes and trails. The machines were top notch, well maintained and very comfortable to ride with heated helmets and handlebars for additional comfort. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for an adventure to remember for years to come. We stopped at one point and Leon took pictures of us with our phone cameras.
Fantastic
