Half-Day or Full-Day Guided Snowmobile Tours

Yukon Wide Adventures

We give you a typical Yukon winter experience!

Overview

Half Day

We offer you a typical Yukon winter experience!

Join us for a half-day excursion by snowmobile into untouched nature on the Copper Trail and into the surrounding mountains.

We pick you up at your accommodation in Whitehorse in the morning and drive approximately 15 km to the Copper Trail.

After a brief introduction, we start our trip. Along this flat trail, you'll have plenty of time to familiarize yourself with the snowmobile before continuing our tour up Mount McIntyre to our viewpoint over Fish Lake.

At the top we'll enjoy a short break to warm ourselves with a hot drink and some snacks will strengthen us for the return journey.

You drive your own snowmobile, but you can also join this tour as a passenger on a two-person Snowmobile.

This tour is for everyone who would like to explore the Yukon by snowmobile, through deep snowy forests and up beautiful mountains. No special physical requirements or prior knowledge of driving snow machine are necessary. You will receive professional instruction and a demonstration on the safe handling of your machine at the start.

 

Full Day

Join us for an extended excursion by snowmobile into untouched nature and enjoy a day with the snowmobile on the Old Dawson or the Livingstone Trail in the hinterland.

We pick you up at your accommodation in Whitehorse in the morning and drive approximately 20 km to our location at Pilot Mountain.

After a brief introduction, we start our snowmobile trip over the frozen Yukon or Takhini rivers. Once on the river, we have enough time to familiarize ourselves with the snowmobile before continuing our tour on the Old Dawson Overland (also known as the Trans Canada Trail).

We will have our lunch break at a historic place and warm ourselves up at the campfire. Hot drinks and grilled sausages will strengthen us for the return journey.

You drive your own snowmobile, but you can also join this tour as a passenger on a two-person Snowmobile.

This tour is for anyone who wants the fun of exploring the Yukon on a snowmobile, through deep snowy forests and over frozen lakes. No special physical requirements or prior knowledge of driving snow machine are necessary. You will receive professional instruction and a demonstration on the safe handling of your machine at the start.

Operator testimonials

Unforgettable, magical experience

Peter

We were a party of 7 who did the "Fly & Enjoy" 6-day canoe trip down the Yukon River from Whitehorse to Carmacks. It was an unforgettable, magical experience in the remote wilderness, miles from nowhere. The float plane flights were an added excitement. Thomas was an excellent, efficient guide - being an authority on the Yukon River and on local history. We felt very safe in his hands even though the water level was exceptionally high. The camp sites were amazing. One offered viewing of a grizzly bear on the opposite bank which we watched for several hours. All the equipment was in first class condition, and Thomas's bush cooking was superb. Thank you, Thomas!

Best quality equipment and logistics

Dan

I wanted to THANK YOU so much for the exceptional trip last week down the Yukon River. Your communication, planning, quality of food and equipment, and logistics was the absolute best. It was a trip of a lifetime.
We so appreciated Joey being punctual and he did a perfect job. Rob was super experienced and prepared. We never had any concerns with Rob as our leader of the trip. We gave him some feedback for people who have more experience than normal; which he received well. We so enjoyed him as a guide and friend. He was absolutely outstanding.

An everlasting beautiful memory

Russell

Thomas and Kelly,
One cannot imagine this journey. To have been captivated by the Yukon territory floated into heaven was awe inspiring. Your entire organization made this experience and everlasting beautiful memory. Joey was so very pleasant when we met on Sunday. Rob made the trip the journey of a lifetime. Such nice, intelligent, cooperative and congenial gentlemen made the trip incredible.

Accommodating and friendly

Ashley

I had an absolutely incredible snowmobiling experience. It was, by far, the highlight of my Yukon trip. Yukon Wide Adventures were so accommodating and friendly. I can't wait to visit Whitehorse again and do more tours with them!

Personable and Knowledgeable

Richard

Yukon Wide was everything I wanted in an outfitter. Thomas and Kelly answered emails quickly and accurately. Personable and knowledgeable, they accommodated me even when they were short staff, providing excellent equipment for me to paddle the Yukon River.

Absolutely awesome experience

Norm

Had an absolutely awesome experience today with Yukon Wide. We did a HeliHike and everything was on time, as expected and our guide Thomas was very helpful. Will definitely suggest them to friends who might come here. Thank you!
