2-Hour Guided Snowmobile Tour in Fairbanks

Overview

The Local Tour is a two-hour guided snowmobile tour and is our most popular day tour. On the Local Tour, you will experience driving your very own snowmobile in the beautiful Goldstream Valley and learn what it’s like to live as an Alaskan: dry cabins, winter travel, and sub-arctic exposure. The valley is home to many local dog mushers, snowshoers, cross country skiers, fat bikers, and other outdoor enthusiasts alike. 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!

All gear is provided and includes snow boots, snow bibs, mittens, balaclavas, helmets, and goggles. The total tour duration is 2.5 hours and includes 30 minutes of gearing up and a short tutorial on how to safely operate your snowmobiles, followed by a full 2-hour guided tour in the Goldstream Valley. Beginners are welcomed and encouraged!

Our 2 hour trip with Bow as our guide was outstanding! He provided snow pants and boots to keep us warm while riding snow machines through the forest and over frozen lakes and rivers. Definitely one of the highlights of our winter trip to Fairbanks! And I will add that heated handgrips are one of the best inventions ever!

Wow! What an awesome experience! Josh, our guide took such great care of us! Safety briefings, instructions, gear, and we took off through the gold stream wilderness. Josh showed us cool things about the environment, let us challenge ourselves in the snow, and we thoroughly enjoyed this adventure! A must do to get the total Arctic experience!

The equipment was new and up to date and in very good condition. Our tour guide (Bow) was very knowledgeable and new the trail very well. I would recommend Bow as a great guide.
