Snowmobile Tour from Yellowknife

We were picked up by our eventual instructor, Phil, from our hotels, and we were dropped off at a cabin in Old Town to sign waivers. We were then let outside to give a demo on how the snowmobile works, and some safety procedures. He had to explain it since we wouldn't hear when we are in our helmets. Afterwards, we were given our helmets and he gave assistance to secure them. He allowed us to keep our belongings in the cabin. He locks them up during the tour. We were then assigned our snowmobiles and he tied our safety harnesses in. Once engines were started, we descended into Great Slave Lake and did some basic curves and one circle to familiarize ourselves with the snowmobile operation. Afterwards, it was full speed ahead. We crossed the ice road as well on our way to a small lake at the end. Along the way, we witnessed dog sledding, ice fishing shacks, and hikers with their dogs. Also, there are some stops for photo ops. Phil took pictures for us. We then went on land and it was pretty bumpy like a BMX track. At the end of it was a lake and we were given 10 minutes of free time to circle around the lake full speed. It honestly felt more than 10 minutes because I enjoyed it so much! At the end, we had to return our harnesses and our helmets and we were dropped off back to our hotel or a destination of our choice. Yeah, all in all, it was great! Very well recommended!

It was an amazing experience to see Yellowknife in winter from the lake. I would like to experience another different course. I also wanted to spend a day sightseeing here and there.
