Great day, and a fantastic guide, if not a bit rushed

Helen_S, Dec 2018

An unforgettable day, driving whiskies, snowmobiles, drilling holes for ice fishing and A BBQ on the ice, all with Malc who listened to all our needs and was very accommodating. The only issue (which Malc solved) was there was no lunch break planned and this was an issue for a family day, which the company must reorganize!!! The only other small but surmountavle issue was a long time on a bus, but it didn't detract from a truly amazing end to our visit. Thanks Malc

Fantastic guide and activities, but poor centralised organisation

Helen_S, Dec 2018

What a fun, long day. Our guide Malc was really incredible and listened to our needs as well as accommodating the needs of our children . The BBQ, snow mobile and huskies were great fun and something we will never forget. It was however a shame that the central planning was poor, leaving us to be travelling a long time in a bus, and no scheduled lunch break. Tough for kids.Thank you Marc for making this a memorable day
