Overview

The Local Tour is a two-hour guided snowmobile tour and is our most popular day tour.

On the Local Tour, you will navigate through spruce forests, cruise over frozen lakes, ponds, creeks, and tundra, and feel the thrill of shredding some deep powder!

Bow let us on an action packed two hours of beautiful scenic fun through the snowy valley north of Fairbanks. The machines ran well, Bow was friendly, and everyone enjoyed themselves. We had two younger teens with us, riding on the backs of the snow machines, and they had a blast. I think it helps if you’ve had some experience working a thumb throttle before, but both seemed more than prepared to work with any level of experience.

The day was a perfect day~Colton & Josh was super friendly great guys & guides!! I’ve been snow machining twice and first time I had to stay in the ruts of other snow machines and was constantly falling out. They maintain their trails with a comb they hook on the back of the snow machines, making the trails much smoother and more forgiving. Much better for beginners like me!~my kiddo’s review. Only negative was my snow machine kept overheating & beeping. To cool it down I had to drive it in deeper powder. The kill switch nob was missing so they had to use pliers to pull it back up because I bumped it a few times accidentally. Not a big deal though. ;-) A great time had by all~all thumbs up!

Absolutely great experience. Our guide, Colton, was great and fun to be with. The kids had a blast and so did the adults. Scenery was stunning and the snowmobiles were easy to ride and a lot of fun. One of the best tours we have ever experienced.
