Snow Machine Ride (This tour would take approximately 2 hours, Pick-up and drop-off at the specified hotels.)
An Alaskan resident Somkey will take you on your Alaska Snow Machine Tour! There is nothing like the thrill of driving the snow machine on your own. It is the fastest commuting tool on the snow, and its speed is comparable to a regular vehicle. The snow machine is different from the motorcycle because it is not driven by wheels but by the track rotation. Therefore, you will find the driving safer, more stable and easy to learn. You can ride it up to the hills, cross the obstacles and speed through the open field. You do not need any license to operate the snow machine! Come on and enjoy a scenic route with lots of fresh snow and experience the paradise on earth.
(Please bring you winter gear such as waterproof suits, hat, gloves and warm boots to avoid frostbite.)
Ice Fishing and Barbecue (This tour would take approximately 4 hours, Pick-up and drop-off at the specified hotels.)
