I’m from Florida, so I really never get the opportunity to do something as fun as this tour! It is one of the most exhilarating things you can do while visiting Girdwood. The snow machine ride through the mountains to the blue glacier was so beautiful and so incredible. The snow machines are easy to use and the tour guides Dan and Steven are AMAZING. They make you feel comfortable and safe throughout the whole tour, and they take great photos of your group once you get to the glacier. I also love that they make sure you’re nice and toasty warm before even venturing out! I would HIGHLY recommend going on the blue glacier tour, it’s so worth it. A really fun ride with some really passionate and fun dudes who genuinely care about the people going on the tour and who really care about preserving the natural beauty of Alaska! 10000/10 experience!

We did the Scenic Mountain Tour and it was a great way to spend a half day! The staff at the gift shop and guides were all so friendly and accommodating and the easy trail ride was perfect for our group. 10/10 recommend to anyone looking for a fun snowmobile tour in the Anchorage or Girdwood area. Will definitely be coming back for a glacier ride once that opens!

This was absolutely one of the most incredible experiences of my life! 🤍 It was my very first time snowmobiling to the glacier, 6 hours tour. And I am beyond impressed!!! From the very beginning, everything was perfectly organized. They have all the gear that necessary to keep you warm, safe and comfortable. I didn’t have to worry about a single thing! The views were breathtaking, and the entire experience felt surreal. Riding across the fields, trees, across the river all the way to the glacier for the first time was pure magic! 🤗😻😻😻 The team was incredibly friendly, kind, and professional. You can truly feel how much they care about their guests and about creating an unforgettable experience. I felt safe, supported, and excited the entire time. This is 100% worth it. If you’re thinking about doing it just go!!! You will not regret it. I’m still in awe and so grateful for this adventure! ✨❄️

What an unforgettable and incredible experience! We booked the glacier tour, rather last min, maybe about a week or so before our visit to Alaska. Erin one of the co-owners was super communicative and stayed in touch with us via text before the day in case weather was going to affect our trip. This excursion was truly a once in a lifetime experience. Our guides Dan and Steve were fun, kind, patient, helpful and funny! Being from LA we were worried about not having the right clothes, but they lent us whatever we didn't have! The meeting spot for The Tourist Trap is in a little strip mall area that was super easy to find. We took a shuttle from there out to where the snow machines were and then the adventure began! You'll zip through snow topped fields, swamps and valleys for 12 miles to the Glacier. They even make a few pit stops in case people need a break and don't mind having to pee in the wild. Once you get to the glacier your eyes won't believe what you're seeing. It's almost otherworldly. Super quiet, bright sun, surrounded by mountains and this beautiful blue ice that you get to trek up to and take pictures at, and maybe even lick. If you've never ridden a snow machine and are intimidated by it, don't worry you get used to it quite quickly and the guides are very aware of making sure you're good! We highly recommend this tour for anyone who truly wants an Alaskan adventure!

If you’re coming to Alaska, stop looking and just book this now! Our18 mile snowmobile trek to a Blue Ice Glacier was hands down the absolute highlight of my trip!!! The scenery is otherworldly, but the team is what makes it legendary. Our guide, Stephen, was fantastic, super knowledgeable and made sure we felt safe while having a blast. Huge shoutout to the owners, Justin and Erin, who were incredibly helpful and made the entire booking and check-in process seamless. They truly go above and beyond for their guests. This is a bucket list experience you can't miss. HIGHLY recommend A+++ 5 stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We did the Blue Ice Glacier Snowmobile Tour in February, and as a born and raised Alaskan, I’m honestly sad I didn’t do this sooner! It was such a fun and unforgettable experience — worth every cent. We got to see parts of the glacier that you’d never be able to reach otherwise, and it was absolutely stunning. I don’t own a snowmachine, so this was an awesome way to get out and explore. The guides were fantastic — friendly, helpful, and clearly focused on making sure everyone had a great time. Super happy with the entire experience and can’t wait to go again!

We booked the glacier tour on our vacation to Alaska this spring. Unfortunately, they weren't experiencing much snow this year and we were unable to do that tour. We went ahead and opted for the scenic tour since we were all excited to ride a snowmobile for our first time ever. Our experience was great. We loved the snowmobiles, had a fun time on the path, had guides that made sure we were having a fun time and they even changed things up so that the slower people were able to go the speed they wanted, but everyone wasn't forced to go that slow. Our teens had an awesome time and got in some thrills on the path while checking out the great mountain views. We rode for some time, stopped for some reindeer sausage and rode briefly again before heading out. I would have liked a shorter break to eat and a little more ride time, but the reindeer sausage was tasty and we had a great day. Like others who have been on the tour we did just go in circles on a path on some private property. (Where we live people regularly do this with four wheelers on dirt paths through the woods, so it was a similar experience with a different machine through the snow and amazing views.) We didn't really know what to expect , but we imagined we'd be going out more into the wilderness to ride, rather than just a track. That's probably unrealistic! Who knows. Even so, we would do it again and recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Originally we booked the snowmobile tour to the glacier, but it was canceled due to the weather condition. The company offered us a Scenic Mountain tour instead and we had no regrets. It was our second snowmobile tour during the vacation, so we were “experienced “riders and had lots of fun The tour was phenomenal. We had quite a large group of participants, but guides took a great care of us . They divided our group on 2 , so everyone could have fun and enjoy the tour according to the level of comfort and experience. Half way through the excursion we stopped for a lunch. They served a reindeer hotdog and a beverage by the campfire. We really had a memorable time worth every penny! Thank you!
