Great time snowmobiling in Fairbanks!

We had a great time on our Snow Sleighers snowmobiling adventure!  Indy was our guide.  She got us set up with gear and gave us great instructions!  There were a couple of tricky sections on the track and she guided us through them perfectly.  The heated handlebars on the snowmobiles were so nice!

First time snowmobiling aswome experience

I and my wife did a snowmobiling tour with Fairbanks Snow Sleighers and took their local tour package. It was an amazing adventure and truly a memorable experience for us. Our guide, Mr. Ian, was extremely kind, patient, and supportive. He taught us how to ride the snowmobile very carefully and made sure we were comfortable and confident before we started. We got to ride for about 2.5 hours through the beautiful forest, and the whole experience was absolutely wonderful. Mr. Ian also took lots of great photos and videos for us during and after the ride, which made the trip even more special. This was truly a lifetime memory, and I would absolutely love to do this adventure again with them. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Fairbanks and looking for a fun and unforgettable snowmobiling experience! - Raja and Sneha

Excellent experience

The trails were beautiful and Kirk was super helpful, great teacher and he made sure we were comfortable with each part of the ride, he made sure we took well timed brakes and let us know about the trail ahead and the trees and wildlife in the area, felt like a new friend by the end

Fun!

We had an amazing experience with Fairbanks Sleigh Rides! Daniel was fantastic—very friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. We did snowmobiling twice at the same location and honestly loved it just as much the second time. The trails were beautiful, the equipment was in great condition, and everything felt safe and well-organized. You can really tell they care about giving guests a great experience. Highly recommend Fairbanks Sleigh Rides, Kurt and Daniel if you’re looking for fun winter activities in Fairbanks!

5/5 – Incredible Snowmobile Tour!

My fiancé and I had an amazing time on our snowmobile guided tour! Our guide, Bow, was absolutely fantastic — super down-to-earth, knowledgeable, and clearly skilled at what he does. We came in with very different levels of experience, but Bow made the trail fun and exciting for both of us. The route he took us on had the perfect mix of beautiful scenery and thrilling stretches, and he made sure we were both comfortable and confident the entire time. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide or a better experience. Highly recommend this tour and especially with Bow

Great Guides with an awesome setup

Our Photo tour guide arranged a 2 hour snowmobile tour during our trip to Fairbanks this past Wednesday. IT WAS AMAZING!!!. Bow and Colton were our guides and did an outstanding job. They made the ride so cool. Great guys with an awesome setup. All six of us had a blast. Definitely would do it again and probably an aurora tip or bump up to intermediate skill level

A Wonderful Experience

Just incredible! For a person never been on a mobile before after Colton’s great instructions, I felt so comfortable. He was friendly, informative, and completely conscious of my interests (photography). I left the establishment completely satisfied, and I don’t think it could have been a better experience!! Thank you Sleighers! Jim Corral
