We had an amazing time snowmobiling. Our guide was incredible and very informative. We only book an hour, and we wished we had booked a longer tour. We will definitely be back, if we come back to the Fairbanks area. I would highly recommend this to a friend!

Terrible trip, poor staff attitude. We spent money but didn’t have a fun. And the tour on their own website is cheaper than Viator.
Response from Host, Mar 2024
We ask all guests to arrive 30 minutes prior to the departure time.
We clearly state (multiple times) that all of our tours depart on schedule. And refunds or reschedules will not be issued for late arrivals.
It is not fair to others (who arrive on time) to miss part of their tour because other guests cannot arrive on time.
These guests arrived 8 minutes after the tour departed (38 minutes late).

Very fun time riding through north pole and over the frozen lake on the snowmobiles! Victoria, our guild, was very nice and took some great photos and videos for us!
Response from Host, Mar 2024
On all snowmobile trips we stop at least once for some great pics. The whole riding are has beautiful scenery, so it's hard to choose where to stop.
Thank you for the review.

The guide Will was absolutely amazing!! He knew I wanted to go faster so he arranged the line up so I could…..awesome!! He was so helpful, my glasses kept fogging up, he helped me with that so I could see. The trail is so fun. Everything about this tour was awesome and fun.

This was a fun adventure! So glad the tour included whatever gear we needed. Unfortunately one son (24) had a helmet too small, but it was their largest. If you have a large head, I recommend calling to see if they carry a helmet that will fit! Another son (18) was disappointed he wouldn’t be able to drive his own machine because he did not have a drivers license but didn’t let it stop his fun. I am happy that the guide took a couple photos for the memory!

Great guide! She explained everything so clearly. We had some newbies in our group and was very patient with them.
Response from Host, Feb 2024
Safety is always our #1 priority. We want all drivers to clearly understand the safety and operations of a snowmobile before we depart for a fun adventure.
Thank you for the review.

Thank you for snowmobiling with Rod's Alaskan Guide Service in North Pole.

Overall it was a good experience. The outfit provides both dog mushing and snow machining. My 19-yr old daughter and I came for the snow machining. They had newer ski doo machines that were very easy and comfortable to drive.
Our guide was great and very informative. Only challenge is you only go as fast as the slowest person in your group, and we had a turtle amongst us. We did get a chance to open it up in an open area on Lake Chena. Super fun!
We also got to play with a husky pup in the lodge whole waiting!
Response from Host, Feb 2024
We do our best to provide areas for folks to go faster when we have someone not comfortable driving at a fun speed on the trails.
Thank you for the review.

The staff was professional. The operation was well staffed. The equipment was like brand new. Our guide was great.
Response from Host, Feb 2024
We use top of the line-new equipment for all of our adventures. My snowmobiles are the most comfortable and eco friendly Touring sled on the market.
Thank you for the review.
