Guided snowmobile tours can vary depending on the tour operator, location, and package you choose, but they generally include a range of services and features designed to provide an enjoyable and safe snowmobiling experience.
Here are some common elements included in guided snowmobile tours:
Snowmobile Rental: The tour typically includes the rental of a snowmobile for each participant. The type and model of snowmobile may vary based on the tour operator and the package you select.
Safety Gear: Guides will often provide participants with essential safety gear, which may include helmets, snowsuits, gloves, and other protective clothing. The specific gear provided can vary, so check with the tour operator.
Experienced Guides: Every guided snowmobile tour is led by experienced guides who are knowledgeable about the area, familiar with the terrain, and trained in safety procedures.
Orientation and Safety Briefing: Before the tour begins, participants will typically receive a safety briefing and orientation. This includes instructions on how to operate the snowmobile, what to do in case of an emergency, and an overview of the tour itinerary.
Trail Access: The tour operator will provide access to designated snowmobile trails and routes, ensuring that participants can explore scenic and safe areas.
Scenic Stops: Many guided tours include stops at scenic viewpoints or notable attractions. Guides may provide information about the area’s history, wildlife, and geography during these stops.
Group Size: Tours often have a maximum group size to maintain safety and ensure that guides can provide personalized attention.
Here are some elements that aren’t offered by all guided snowmobile tours:
- Food and Beverage: Depending on the package, tours may offer meals, snacks, or beverages at specific stops or as part of the tour experience.
Transportation: Some tour operators include transportation to and from the starting point of the tour. This can be particularly convenient if the tour location is in a remote area.
