Really fabulous trip. Our guide was Brilliant 🤩
The views and experience was excellent
It was 3 hours from start to finish rather than 3 hours on the snowmobile. The snowmobile was harder to drive than I thought but by the end of the trip I had got the hang of driving it and wanted the trip to go on for longer.
We were totally looked after by our guide Broc and he made the experience so much fun :-)
We are really pleased we did this trip :-)

Really good experience overall, but unfortunately the tour guide didn’t take any videos for memories, she was great though. It was supposed to be an advanced course, but we hardly got to pick up any speed because one beginner at the front was slowing the group down.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Hello,
We are glad that overall you enjoyed your tour with us. Our guides are happy to take photos and videos, but typically it is at our guests request. This is good feedback for us to remind them to be proactive and offer to do so as well.
The Wilderness Run is advertised as confident beginner to intermediate in ability so by all means not intended to be about speed. Safety is our top priority and we do our best to set the tour pace at a level that is appropriate and safe for all riders.
Thank you,

Sandy_F, Feb 2025
The wilderness run snowmobile activity is a must do! Our tour guide, Kyle, was great. The trip was both fun and scenic.
AlexandVicky_D, Feb 2024
Even though the snow this year was not alot the team made sure we manged to have a good time out. They were super and looked after us. Throughly enjoyed it.
Andrew_G, Feb 2024
Great helpful friendly team taking us through all the safety requirements before we snowmobile. Great to stop shortly after the initial drive to be allowed to ask questions and for the guide to give further guidance before the curvy and steep hill climb. Both going up and coming back down was very exciting. Calum was our guide and he was great to have as our team leader.

MarthaBeatriz_B, Dec 2023
it was amazing! Very friendly staff, I am Mexican and they had staff that spoke Spanish, the tour was very good and it was snowing which made it even more beautiful

Great fun seeing some of the back country on a snowmobile. The snow cover was a little light in a few areas, but the guides were fantastic and took us to the best locations available.
Stephen_K, Dec 2023
Due to lack of snow there was time lost travelling to the snowmobiles. The team that took the tour were great. Conner was a great fella and was helpful and fun. We got lucky and the views were amazing. If you are looking for fast and action packed then this won’t deliver. It is slow which was a bit frustrating. The ad didn’t match the experience. Having said that it was still a good time.
Melanie_O, Dec 2023
We absolutely nailed it! With special thanks to Brock our tour guide who made sure we were safe and comfortable throughout. It was beautiful snowing the whole way. We learned the basic skills and were confident enough to open the throttle on the way home. So much fun. Thankyou I rate 4 due to low snow fall. 5/5 for Brock 😀
Wayne_M, Apr 2023
The views are breath taking and riding the snowmobile was alot of fun. Im 70 years old and would highly recommend this to anyone.
Aaron_A, Feb 2023

Michelle_R, Dec 2022
We had an amazing time on our first snowmobiling adventure. We were trained and felt safe the entire time. The views were amazing and we had a blast. I would highly recommend this company for your snowmobiling adventures.
Mykhailo_D, Dec 2022
Awesome experience, guide Andrew did a perfect job teaching us how to ride snowmobile and also how to enjoy riding them!
Christi_J, Feb 2022
Great tour guide- awesome views and wonderful experience. Thanks for teaching us the do’s and don’t’s on a snowmobile and practicing braking.
The trails were amazing also.
hao n, Feb 2017
The tour was well organized and the tour guides were very friendly. My wife and I had a fun time.
Nicole C, Jan 2017
Had a great time! We couldn't do the whole trip we wanted due to Avalanche conditions, but the company refunded a portion of our money and the guide found ways to keep the trip a blast, AND we returned SAFELY. Several times the guide and company had to work through awkward situations/ problems and they did a great job of rolling with punches and finding alternate solutions. If you are adventurous or a competent sledder, would recommend Eric as a guide.
Louisa Z, Jun 2016
It was amazing! Very peaceful going up the mountain, loved that we got to go over the frozen lake and the breakfast was delicious!
Christopher C, Jan 2016
A fantastic chance to leave the pistes behind and explore BC's open wilderness. Spectacular views, friendly guides and overall a most wonderful experience. 100 recommended.
Catherine P, Mar 2014
Absolutely brilliant experience! The snowmobile ride was so fun and breakfast in the Yukon lodge was tasty! Would definitely recommend this trip!
Debra W, Jan 2014
I booked the tour with some friends to celebrate my birthday. We all came back saying what a fantastic ride we'd had. Kristy our guide was fantastic. None of us had ridden a snow mobile before and she made it easy for us to learn and navigate our way around. If you're considering this tour 'Just Do It' you won't regret it!
