“We had a great trip snowmobiling. From pick-up to drop-off, it was all really organised. Everything was explained to us and they supplied the warm outer clothes that ensured we didn't feel the cold. We went out to some open spaces and then into a forest, there were lots of opportunities to take photos and to play in some deep snow. The 2 hour trip was perfect for us. Our guide was good fun, supportive and really made our experience fantastic.”
