Snow machine tour to Spencer glacier

5.00What an amazing adventure! You don't wanna leave AK without doing this. Andy and Zanalee got us all suited up in comfy, warm gear, and we headed out to the back country via snow machines for a 32 mile tour. Saw 3 moose, ptarmigan, swans... and the coolest thing I'd ever seen. A real live glacier! We drove right up to Spencer glacier, it's blue ice towering over us, in complete awe. We even relaxed in an ice cave and ate charcuterie and hot cider off of Zanalee's snow machine. I mean, come ON! This trip is 100% worth every penny. Don't miss out.

5.00This was the highlight of our trip. Andy and his wife are great. From greeting you and getting you geared up to taking off and getting you on the snow mobiles they make you feel comfortable and ready for the awesome experience you’re about to have. We had a blast on the snow mobiles and Andy is a good teacher. If you’ve never been on one, he gives you a chance to get familiar with them before you really take off on your journey. The views are amazing. You can’t get those kind of views anywhere else. It’s a fun experience and great site seeing all rolled into one with great people!! If you’re on the fence about booking, don’t be. Book it!!! It’s well worth the money. It was a great experience. Bring your camera and enjoy some fun!!

5.00Snowmobiling on top of a glacier was thrilling with spectacular views. This once in a lifetime adventure was worth every penny. Our guide Andy was engaging and kept us safe at all times. For my hubby it was the first helicopter ride and the views of “wolverine” glacier on the way back were a marvel. If you are looking for a special adventure then this is the one to pick.
Trip of a lifetime!!

Glacier snowmobile

5.00My husband and I were celebrating our 30th Anniversary. We decided to be adventurous and fly up to a glacier and snowmobile. We had never ridden a snow mobile. It was absolutely the best part of our trip! Andy was a great guide, very knowledgeable and experienced. Safety was his main concern and we never felt in danger. It is worth every single dollar to do this trip. How many people can say they have ridden snow mobiles on top of a glacier? Do yourself a favor and call Andy. He even had snow pants, boots, helmets and goggles for you to wear! We highly recommend this tour!!
Snow mobiling in August!

5.00We came across this site and I am glad that we did. The owner, Andy, was wonderful to work with. His website made it easy for me to schedule the outing with no problem. We stayed in constant contact and Andy updated us on the weather and what to bring for the trip. When we arrived, the staff greeted us and made us feel comfortable. The equipment was top notched and not run down. On top of the snow mobile tour, we were also lucky to see sled dogs in action. Snacks and beverages was provided. We were the only ones on the tour ( there were 4 of us) which gave Andy the ability to tailor our tour based on our experience in handling the equipment. I would highly recommend this outfit for their quality of equipment, friendliness and their attention to details.
Highlight of our Alaskan Adventure Trip

5.00This was one of our top highlights of our Alaskan trip. My husband, son, daughter-in-law and I took the helicopter ride up to Godwin Glacier to ride snowmobiles on top of the glacier. The helicopter ride alone is pretty spectacular. The views were breathtaking and the snowmobile ride was an adrenaline-rush like nothing I've quite experienced. I was a bit leery at first, as I have never been snowmobiling before, but Andy, our guide, made it very comfortable by easing us into it slowly, then encouraging us to go farther and faster within certain perimeters. I felt safe going out of my comfort zone. Andy is AWESOME! This is a MUST do activity. Would do it again in a heartbeat!! Oh, and there is the bonus of seeing the sled dogs and maybe petting one of the puppies at the top of the glacier too ; ).
