I think we could have spent all day on the trails and lake. Definitely recommend. Try to go before April. I think all of it would have snow
Nice family experience

The tour guide was very attentive, gave a brief how to operate skidoo in a safe way. Always helped out when we encountered some difficulties and waited for those who followed slowly, no rush. Overall, worth to try new activity.

Excellent experience for furst time or experienced snow mobilers. Lian our guide was very informative on driving the snow mobile and operating it safely. He was a great guide throughout all the trails and over Slave Lake and other areas. No rush to end our adventure and he allowed time for photos. Amazing experience and much fun!
Our first visit to Yellowknife and snow mobiling with Lian@Destination NWT.

Our experience as first time riders was excellent. Lian was very thorough with directions and safety. Our experience riding over the lakes, through the trails was superb and visiting the ice cave really a unique adventure. We would recommend this experience as a must do in Yellowknife.
Fun ride in snowmobile!
