Snowmobile tours
Our 1.5-hour Snowmobile Tour is $189 per driver (adult or youth), with passenger pricing at $50 for ages 16+ and $25 for those under 16. Passenger rides must be booked with a driver. Guided scenic trail ride; perfect for beginners and families!

Kids’ snowmobile experience
The 30-minute Kids’ Snowmobile Experience is $79 per rider and includes your choice of the SRX-120 mini snowmobile (ages 6–8) or the Snowscoot-200 (ages 9–14). A child passenger ride is included only when a parent or guardian is registered for the 1.5-hour adult session.
While the child completes the 30-minute experience ride, the parent completes their training, after which they ride the trails together with the child riding as a passenger.

Real Stories. Real People.
We visited Toronto from the US for a hockey tournament and drove another hour for this snowmobile tour. Out of our five days in Canada, this was the highlight. The staff was incredible and made us feel like family. Some in our group weren’t prepared for the deep snow and cold, but the team had everything we needed. The ride through the woods was unforgettable—truly one of the best tours we’ve ever done. If you’re in the area, this is a must-do. Thank you for such a wonderful family experience.
