Snowmobile Tour - Great but Shorter than Advertised
Michelle_P, March 2026
This is NOT a 2 hour tour. The trip and guide were great but it’s advertised for 2 hours and it’s only 90 minutes which is a big difference for the $’s. So amazing scenery, cool trails and equipment is solid just don’t think you’re getting anywhere near a 2 hour tour. I’d recommend only if you understand you’re not paying for a 2 hour ride.
Response from the operator · BlackcombSnowmobile Thanks so much for your feedback! We’re really glad to hear you enjoyed the scenery, trails, and your time with the guide.
We understand your concern regarding the duration. Our tour is advertised as a 2-hour experience, which includes check-in, safety briefing, gearing up, and the ride time itself. The actual time spent riding is typically around 80-90 minutes, depending on group pace and conditions on the day.
We appreciate you pointing this out and will continue working to ensure this is communicated as clearly as possible so guests know exactly what to expect. Thanks again for joining us—we hope to welcome you back for another adventure in the future!
