Fun! - We had an amazing experience with Fairbanks Sleigh Rides! Daniel was fantastic—very friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. We did snowmobiling twice at the same location and honestly loved it just as much the second time. The trails were beautiful, the equipment was in great condition, and everything felt safe and well-organized. You can really tell they care about giving guests a great experience. Highly recommend Fairbanks Sleigh Rides, Kurt and Daniel if you’re looking for fun winter activities in Fairbanks!

5/5 – Incredible Snowmobile Tour! - My fiancé and I had an amazing time on our snowmobile guided tour! Our guide, Bow, was absolutely fantastic — super down-to-earth, knowledgeable, and clearly skilled at what he does. We came in with very different levels of experience, but Bow made the trail fun and exciting for both of us. The route he took us on had the perfect mix of beautiful scenery and thrilling stretches, and he made sure we were both comfortable and confident the entire time. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide or a better experience. Highly recommend this tour and especially with Bow

Great Guides with an awesome setup - Our Photo tour guide arranged a 2 hour snowmobile tour during our trip to Fairbanks this past Wednesday. IT WAS AMAZING!!!. Bow and Colton were our guides and did an outstanding job. They made the ride so cool. Great guys with an awesome setup. All six of us had a blast. Definitely would do it again and probably an aurora tip or bump up to intermediate skill level

A Wonderful Experience - Just incredible! For a person never been on a mobile before after Colton’s great instructions, I felt so comfortable. He was friendly, informative, and completely conscious of my interests (photography). I left the establishment completely satisfied, and I don’t think it could have been a better experience!! Thank you Sleighers! Jim Corral

Flying through a snowy valley - Bow let us on an action packed two hours of beautiful scenic fun through the snowy valley north of Fairbanks. The machines ran well, Bow was friendly, and everyone enjoyed themselves. We had two younger teens with us, riding on the backs of the snow machines, and they had a blast. I think it helps if you’ve had some experience working a thumb throttle before, but both seemed more than prepared to work with any level of experience.

A blast in Alaska - Absolutely great experience. Our guide, Colton, was great and fun to be with. The kids had a blast and so did the adults. Scenery was stunning and the snowmobiles were easy to ride and a lot of fun. One of the best tours we have ever experienced.

Snow machines over frozen lakes and rivers!! - Our 2 hour trip with Bow as our guide was outstanding! He provided snow pants and boots to keep us warm while riding snow machines through the forest and over frozen lakes and rivers. Definitely one of the highlights of our winter trip to Fairbanks! And I will add that heated handgrips are one of the best inventions ever!

An amazing afternoon had by all!! - The day was a perfect day~Colton & Josh was super friendly great guys & guides!! I’ve been snow machining twice and first time I had to stay in the ruts of other snow machines and was constantly falling out. They maintain their trails with a comb they hook on the back of the snow machines, making the trails much smoother and more forgiving. Much better for beginners like me!~my kiddo’s review. Only negative was my snow machine kept overheating & beeping. To cool it down I had to drive it in deeper powder. The kill switch nob was missing so they had to use pliers to pull it back up because I bumped it a few times accidentally. Not a big deal though. ;-) A great time had by all~all thumbs up!
