My husband and I booked our tour for the 2pm timeframe hoping to get a good tour during sunset. Boy did they hit that goal out of the park. They took us through so much different terrain, gave us the freedom to ride as we pleased and got so many good pictures for us to remember our trip by. If you have the opportunity to book a tour with them make sure you dont hesitate! So worth braving the sub-zero temperatures because on the snow machine I could barely even feel the cold as we rode. I'm still in complete aw of all the beauty we saw on this tour!

We hadn't booked any snow machining so booked this tour the night before doing it.
We followed the nav system in the car to the location and it was a small house outside of Fairbanks.
We were met by the Bow and Colton, the two guys who ran the tour. We signed in, got kitted out with snow gear, boots and helmets and then went out to do the safety briefing and get an overview of the machine and how to ride, control them. I was the only bloke on the tour of 8 people.
As I had experience riding bikes, I got the new machine which was like the Cadillac of snow machines, it was awesome.
Myself and my wife were tandem riding and the machine was really comfortable for this. We moved out and one of the ladies behind crashed after about 100 meters so we had to stop and wait for her machine to be retrieved from the bushes. We started again and then she crashed the machine into a ditch so we had to wait more for this as they couldn't get it out. She was put pillion on a machine with one of her friends. We were then off again. We got a little further down the trail and then had to wait again as one other person got stuck on a bridge crossing.
The trails we were on were good and easy to follow. As I was second in line behind Bow, our tour leader, he sped up on some sections which allowed me to speed up and go fast while the others lagged behind.
We didn't see any wildlife but saw heaps of tracks.
The tour was excellent and the team gave us a great experience. Thanks to Bow and Colton for a top 2hrs on the trail. It was really enjoyable and would recommend these guys, even though they are a smaller company. We had a blast.

We did the Northern Lights tour. Our guide, Tim, was friendly, knowledgeable, and an excellent guide in what likely was my most fun time on the trip! Though we did not get a clear view of the Lights due to weather conditions, we did not leave disappointed. We snow machined through untouched snow, different terrains, stopped at viewing spots, and saw hints of wildlife in the dark (fresh lynx tracks!). What's more - your guide will take A+ photos of you. Would highly recommend this tour for adventure seekers.

We found Snow Sleighers from trip advisor. We specifically wanted to see the Aurora Borialis. It was -15 below. But the sky was clear. Spencer, our guide check us over and asked if we wanted to upgrade any of our snow gear(except snow coats) it made a huge difference in our comfortability. Took off at 10:30 pm and started chasing the northern lights. The snowmobiles were newer, all running as they should. Spencer answered our questions and shared experiences. Very easy to get along with for 4 hours. Made multiple stops. And saw the northern lights from about 11pm-2am. It was cold! But the right gear took the edge off. Let them out fit you with the right stuff. We brought hand warmers. That helped. Use Snow Sleighers!

First snow machining experience and it was great. Guys were really patient given it was our first time and we did have to stop a bit early on when goggles started steaming, sorry freezing up but otherwise it was awesome. Great views through the forest on the route and then some great open spaces where you can open up the machines. Highly recommended and good value.

If I could give guides Spencer and Tim 100 stars I would. My trip into the woods and up to the lake for aroara viewing was definitely a bucket list adventure. I highly recommend this tour.

One of the best things to do while in Alaska! First off, Spencer is just a great guy who wants people to have a great time. The path was safe enough for my wife, who has never driven a snowmobile, but still challenging for me who has drove one before. We even saw a fox hopping around in the distance. Too bad we didn't see a moose. Well worth the price.

Spencer & Tim are the most amazing guides. This past weekend, we took the Aurora Adventure 10pm-2am 4 hr. adventure & had a FANtastic time. They were both so professional and showed us the BEST time. We each had our own sled, and what a blast. The scenery was beautiful. Thank you both so very much. Mel & Maggie

We took the 2 hr tour. The tour guide was friendly.. hooked us up with all the gear. Took care of everyone in the group and made sure we were not uncomfortable. Gave all of us a small lessor before and helped us when any one of us got stuck. Snow mobile was an amazing experience and the guide made it very comfortable.

Do they have snowmobile suits you can use? And warm boots?

I am planning a trip to Alaska to celebrate my daughter's 21st birthday and she really wants to go snow mobiling. Since we live in the heat of Texas this us something we have never tried. We are large women and I'm concerned that you can not accomdate us. Is there a weight limit for snowmobiling? We are both in good health but like a lot of people, we are in need of shedding a few pounds. I want to make her dreams come true and I do hope this dream is within reach.

You should send them a message via their Facebook page for an answer. You can send it using the Message tool and it will be private. They will need to know your weight. The biggest concern will be having warm clothing, as they provide extra warmth gear on really cold days.

You can easily get there using a GPS as it is about 15 min south of Fairbanks- they will send you their address a few days prior after you have booked the tour.
