SO MUCH FUN!!!! What an epic idea to pair northern lights hunting with snow machines!!!!
My partner and I loved this experience so much! Unfortunately, we didn’t get to see the northern lights this time, but it definitely didn’t hamper our experience at all.
Our guide was really helpful in trying to help us find an ideal night that worked with our schedule. We had originally booked a Friday night but he recommended changing to the Saturday to increase our chances of seeing the Aurora. Even though we didn’t have any luck, he was absolutely right that it was a better night to be out on the snow machines as we had clear skies and beautiful views of the moon and stars.
It was great that there was the option to be a passenger if you weren’t comfortable driving. My boyfriend drove and I was the passenger on our two person snow machine. We were able to enjoy the trails together which looked like a magical winter wonderland.
When we got to a clearing, everyone was able to drive as fast and as wild as they wanted to. Which was so so fun!!!
We really appreciated all of the extra layers and snow gear that we were provided with. It was under -20 C on the night we went out so it was very very cold but we were well dressed and coped well in the temperatures for 2.5 hours.
Such a cool experience!! Definitely recommend.
