      Friendly staff, beautiful ride
      It was a beautiful day, our guide Sasha was laid back, but serious regarding safety. He was knowledgeable and made everyone feel comfortable from the beginning. The staff at the lodge were all very welcoming and gave us all friendly, top notch service. If you are a beginner, this is the ride for you.

      An experience of a lifetime!
      We did the wilderness run as a group of 3. Andrew and Tammy made sure we were provided with an unforgettable experience. The tour was absolutely excellent from start at Whistler Village to the end of our ride. We were able to experience unimaginable views while experiencing very well groomed trails. We brought our own snow gear but it’s not needed they have plenty of suitable gear for all.

      Fun and Safe for First Timers
      Calum kept us safe while teaching us how to drive a snowmobile. Calum was not only informative but also made our time on the tour fun. My husband and I highly recommend this tour for people who have never driven a snowmobile.

      Stunning & Scenic Mountain Snow Mobile Tour
      What an incredible trip! I have been on several snow mobile tours and this one was definitely top! All of the staff were fantastic from the starts. Our bus driver was hilarious and had a fun dog named banjo who rode up with us. Our guide Kyle was super personable and incredibly knowledgeable. He was also very patient as the snow was very deep and we had a propensity for getting our snow mobiles stuck in snow banks, and Kyle was always there to rescue us! The breakfast they cooked up for us at a magical mountain top log cabin was excellent and tasty and definitely needed after some good riding up the mountain. After breakfast we bombed around on a frozen lake and got to really open up the machines and I can tell you these snow mobiles are some of the most powerful I’ve ever been on! Overall amazing experience and would absolutely recommend.

      Yukon Breakfast tour
      Great experience on the Yukon breakfast tour. We had Brock as our guide for the morning. His seamless and thorough introduction as well as his quick witted humour and charm throughout the tour showed me that he was very experienced and that we were in safe hands. Thanks Brock!! Also, a special mention for our driver on the morning, Conor. Conor was full of great background information and stories of the history of whistler as we made our way out to the Callaghan to prepare for our tour. Would highly recommend this to anyone visiting whistler. The whole team was great, and the experience was incredible.

      Do more before breakfast than most do in a day!
      The Yukon Breakfast Snowmobiling Tour was an exhilarating adventure with breathtaking scenery and idyllic breakfast venue! The guides and all staff were welcoming, personable, and competent (thank you Connor for your professionalism). This experience was quite thrilling, there is risk involved.

      Snowmobile fun in Whistler
      We had a great time snowmobiling with Canadian Wilderness Adventures. Had a family group of 5 and our awesome guide, Alejandro, made all of us have a ball!

      Something fun and new to try!
      I had a great time! My family was skiing and I wanted to try something different, so I booked this as a 1st timer. I went solo, but the group all got along great. There was one other person solo and a few small families. Although I had never used snowshoes before, everything felt pretty easy overall. It was really pretty in the woods, surrounded by snow. I would snowshoe again, but next time look for something a little more advanced. I would definitely recommend this for something fun to do when you don't want to ski. I enjoyed it!

      Overall the experience was good. Was disappointed about the mixes ability, the group should have been split into those who have done it before and those who havent. I would have liked a bit of playtime rather than just going up the mountain eating and coming down the mountain.

      Yukon Breakfast Tour
      We did the Yukon Breakfast Tour and it was amazing. It is definitely geared toward new riders BUT my fiancé and I fairly experienced and had an absolute blast. Big shout out to our guide Conor, he took the time to make sure new riders were confident on the machines before going up. The breakfast was also incredible.

      Snowmobiling through wonderland!
      Admittedly we had fab weather for our snowmobile trip but is was so beautiful. All the staff at CW were so helpful from the front desk guys to the instructors who took us up the hill. It was our first time (my husband said he'd waited 50 years to do it) and we were not disappointed. It was so much fun, scenery was fantastic and the tuition for beginners was really clear. Thank you!

      Great trip ruined by allowing riders with significantly mixed ability on it.
      Tammy was great it was beautiful to ride through the forest. Unfortunately a rider was booked onto the tour who was obviously neither an ‘adventurous beginner’ nor ‘intermediate’ snowmobile rider which limited our enjoyment. Despite Tammy’s best efforts to remedy the situation we were stuck for the duration of our trip behind a rider who was not willing to go faster than about 10mph. Tammy called for assistance (after she had already offloaded a pillion rider) to help the struggling rider but no assistance came - was this safe? The mountain explorer is marketed as an ‘adventurous’ beginner trip - so from the outset to allow a rider to participate who does not even regularly drive whilst others in the group had previous snowmobile experience was not appropriate as it was clear this person should have been booked on the Callaghan trip for first time riders and families. At the end of the trip I had to make a complaint back at the operations centre. A pity a more proactive approach was not offered. It was galling to be told this was a beginners trip when clearly there is a difference between a beginner and a complete novice! Steps were made to resolve this satisfactorily - I am waiting to see this will happen as promised..watch this space. The issue is there is not enough effort in understanding levels of riders and allocating them to the appropriate trip….this then can significantly limit enjoyment of others.

      Great tour with Zoey
      Amazing tour with Zoey! It was my first time snow shoeing , and I was blown away. I had bad knees but the tour was a great level. We stayed on the trail and sometimes went off trail just when the trail got too easy. The views are amazing, and pictures don’t do it justice. Just do it. Highly recommend

    I highly recommend the snow mobile tour. Our guide Jenna was excellent. She made the tour fun and was quite patient with me being a novice of driving the snow mobile. Top of the mountain was truly magical.

    I never imagined doing a snowmobile tour when I moved to Canada, but I sure am glad I have now!
    Thanks so much to Mitch & Mac for being thorough guides. The safety speech was to the point and all and any questions were answered and encouraged.
    The boys were super fun and good conversationalist.
    Very helpful with guest in getting everyone suited up and even helped me mount my GoPro to my helmet.
    My parents and brother thoroughly enjoyed themselves. My mum was super nervous about driving her own snowmobile but with Macs thorough safety speech and answering all her questions, all her worries slipped away and she was just able to enjoy the experience.
    I loved it so much I did the tour twice and I know in the future when I return to whistler ill do many more different tours and ill even bring a crew through to enjoy it with.
    Cheers to the Canadian Wilderness Adventures and your amazing Team!

    Thanks from Honey

    Arrived at whistler accommodation and jumped right into a sunset tour. Friendly, helpful staff sorted our last minute booking. A big expense but well worth it. Enjoyed by all 7 of us from 12yo to 50. Mack took good care of us ensuring we were safe but having fun. Hot choc and soup at top of backcombe helped warm us up before descent. Chilly afternoon. So rug up and get the handle heaters going (wish I'd known about these!).
    This was a great experience to start our Whistler holiday fun!

    This excursion is top notch. To be able to drive snowmobiles up Blackcomb mountain up to the Crystal hut after it closes was truly a memorable experience. The staff at Canadian Wilderness Adventures were fantastic.We will definitely use them again in the future!

    Excellent equipment including jackets, ski pants, etc and helmets, of course. Modern snowmobiles had good power and were easy to operate. Our guide was Dan the Man (a real pro!) and he carefully explained how everything worked and ensured we were comfortable with our machines. Safety was paramount. The trails were awesome, the views unforgettable and the snacks at Crystal Hut were delicious. All the guides were just fabulous, including Chantel and Caroline. They all worked together to enhance the tour. Very friendly group. Even me, a 60+ year old Grandmother thought it was a really great tour. Great photos of unbelievable west coast mountain scenery!
